This Website is dedicated to the very popular and highly aclaimed EveryAuction 1.53 Perl Auction Script Source, available under GPL/GNU Licence by Matt Hahnfeld from EverySoft.com, available for download here at everyauction.info.
Unfortunately, Everysoft's official EA Auction-Script User Forum as well as the Script Add-On Database have been removed from Matt's Everyauction Site after a hacker incident had taken place early October 2006. As a result of this, Auctioneers using EA-based Scripts suddenly found themselfs cut off from the worldwide only relevant Source of technical Everyauction Script Knowledge.
To make sure that all this hard work is not fully beeing lost and forgotten, I have released substantial portions of my huge EveryAuction 1.53 Script related Online Archive to selected Fellow Auctioneers looking for EA Add-On Infos as well as for technical or historical trouble-shooting Information. Please contact me, if you like access the the EveryAuction Codepost Add'on Section. A small donation is expected.
EveryAuction Source & Add-On based Software has been used by multiple Script Sellers such as
Auction-Script, BidFlux, CodeGirl Classifieds, E-Z Auctions, Global Auctioneer, IScript, Makebid, OpenAuction, Ultimate Auction, Webzstar, Maerdi, among others..
Unfortunately, I am unable to offer or provide assistance for modification & installation of EveryAuction software at this time. Because of other Priorities, Ernie's EveryAuction Support will be suspended for the foreseeable future!
When it comes to the installation of EveryAuction based Auction-Script Enhancements, one has to have a rather good knowledge of HTML as well as of Perl or then depend on others. I therefore would advise you to consider a real Professional Perl Software Solution like the outstanding Ultimate Auction v.3.6.1 by Matt St.Amant.
http://www.ultimateauction.net
Ultimate Auction has originally been based on the EveryAuctionDB GPL Script by Matt Hahnfeld. It has continuously been updated & enhanced by Matt St.Amant, ending up to be the, at least to my knowledge, Number One high performance professional Perl Auction Software worldwide. It will handle 10'000's of Items, Transactions & Users. Extensive Administration Options, all Pages Template driven and online editable. The US(Intl) - Version of Ultimate Auction is priced from about US$ 300.00
One of the few commercially available EveryAuction v.1.5x based Auction Scripts is the Makebid Software by Richard Thomas. Richard also run's a User Support Forum on his Website.
http://www.usanetcreations.com
Richard's Makebid Scripts are based on EveryAuction v.1.5x flatfile-type Software & Add-On's created by former EA Contributors (see the Roll of Honor Section below), mainly programmed in the early Years of this decade. It uses no (better Performance) Indexing Routines and no separate html Templates. It would require one to know basic Perl besides of beeing an exellent html Codewriter to work on Makebid/EA Script-Source.
Still, redesigning Makebid Software should be seriously taken into consideration, if one plans to buy it, because using Makebid's rather outdated standard Design would make a new Site to possibly fail like hundreds of others, unable to make themselfs look different from so many similar looking, already deceased or simply empty WebSites. The Standard - Version of Makebid Auction is priced from about US$ 55.00
I will get back to the EA Project some day, when I retire from "active duty", and then will create some kind of a wikipedia about EveryAuction. For now, I can not be of any help.

EveryAuction 1.5x related Software has always been offered commercially. Many would-be Auctioneers did not like the Idea of investing hundreds of frustrating hours into Plattform Design or Add-On Implementation.
Out of my huge Script Archive, I offer a few Auction Script packages, if you like to start with something cheap, still quite well done, so, you can concentrate on individual visual Modifications instead of trying to understand strange Script Routines. Check this Page to se my free Script Offers as well as Script Packages where I charge a Fee to cover my regular Security Update Work on them.
