Mon 01 Sep 2008 - TradeMe Changes

The recent changes to TradeMe have meant that the downloading of your Free Listing Limit in Tradetool2 no longer works. Don't worry though, because it is only used for display purposes and Tradetool will still correctly pause or cancel auction loads if you hit the free listing limit. An update will be available soon to fix the issue.

Sat 26 Apr 2008 - Tradetool2 1.04 Update out now

The 1.04 Update is out. Those of you who have Forced Updates before now will have seen some of these things.

The main new features are:

- Prepared Auctions can be set to maintain a certain number of listings and Tradetool2 will automatically maintain that level with no scheduling required.
- Auto-Offer feature allows fixed price offers to be made automatically on sold and unsold auctions at a predetermined price.
- Tradetool2 can now read your Blacklist from TradeMe so that Fixed Price Offers made through Tradetool will not be offered to blacklisted members.
- The ability to add Comments to your auctions automatically upon listing and the ability to easily add comments to any number of Current Listings.
- Improvements to filtering and viewing details of Sold Items.
