			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think it&#8217;s worth updating you, progress is slow, but I&#8217;m doing my best to be consistent, hopefully after the x-mas chaos, and with my health improving things will pick up again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had a few issues with fee calculations, take a look at this:</p>
<p><strong>Closing Fee over �600</strong>: (From: <a href="http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/fees.html">eBay.co.uk Fees</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>
5.25% of the initial �29.99 (�1.57), plus 3.25% of the initial �30.00 &#8211; �599.99 (�18.53), plus 1.75% of the remaining closing value balance
</p></blockquote>
<p>Have you ever looked at how complicated ebay fees can get ? I&#8217;ve had a bug reported that closing fee&#8217;s weren&#8217;t being calculated correctly, basically I typo&#8217;d a <em>></em> rather than <em>>=</em> and this was causing the function to fail under certain circumstances, the up-shot, closing fee&#8217;s not being added to some transactions.</p>
<p><em>99p listing fees were also effected by a similar bug &#8211; DOH !</em></p>
<p>Anyway onto some good news, I shall be focusing on two new features (<a href="http://www.linickx.com/archives/346/no-longer-associated-with-calcylator">todo page</a> updated), 1 improving the work flow so things feel quicker, the server and page response is excellent, but users just feel they are spending too much time typing stuff in; so I&#8217;m going to add a <em>Sell Similar</em> function &#8211; like what ebay do. The second will be fee variations, so shops &#038; non-UK users can get involved !</p>
<p>The help section has also been updated with an <a href="http://www.linickx.com/archives/346/no-longer-associated-with-calcylator">link to us page</a> so you can now share your favorite calculator with the world !<br />
These are the graphics I&#8217;ve done so far, if you&#8217;re a paint wizard, please <a href="http://www.linickx.com/archives/346/no-longer-associated-with-calcylator">let me know</a>.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve learnt an important lesson it is <b>impossible</b> to fully bug hunt your own app, I know this seems obvious, but the scale of this truth isn&#8217;t apparent until someone else starts pulling apart what you have done.</p>
