Hi

I'm looking for auction software, To install on a web server.

I've come across php auction http://www.phpauction.net which seems to be an ebay clone.
I don't want anybody to signup as a seller - the site owner will be the only seller.

Can you recommend any ecommerce software that sells auction sytle.
Preferably PHP based.

Thanks

Install Zen Cart then get the Zen Auctions download

linky http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_50&products_id=135

Then there is just one seller like a shop but for auctions. All php based

After evaluating this zen cart mod it's not looking good.
It's unsupported & buggy

I've never tried it, but will download and test on my machine, there is an Os-Commerce version as well.

If this is going to be for a business I'd recommend www.Auctionflex.com its what alot of the major auction houses offline use with a built in publisher.

Or there is a couple of components from Joomla that seem good

I wouldn't use Joomla! for such an ecommerce project, as it has weakenesses and it is not geared towards ecommerce although it will work well.

I think oscommerce is the best option tbh.
