85039 Book Store

Hello, We needed to convert our current website to and new ecommerce solution. This is an online bookstore with a unique twist we deal in mostly 95% antique out of print books. Our current on-hand inventory is about 100,000 books with only about 7000 listed in our database. Almost all of these books can be considered one of a kind books were the inventory level will always be 1. Also, we do not use ISBN numbers as they only started being used after 1970 something. The layout, graphics etc of the new site looks good and have been mostly completed except for a few little format layout problems. Example: (product image is overlaid on top of text) So, what I need is for someone to PLEASE finish my site! TERMS, PLEASE READ THIS NOW. I have tried several times on this and other freelance sites to get someone build this site for me, every time the provider says they can do it no problem, they want me to escrow the money and send them a partial payment once the project starts... but they never finish it. I am out money, time and I still don't have my site done. I do not know what the heck it is with some people, they do about half the project then disappear, I am fed up with it. So, understand this before you bid, I will put the money in the escrow account but will not release any of the money until the project is complete. Also, I will not make any upfront payment. Once you finish the project I will happily release to you the total amount agreed on. Also please do not tell me that it will take 20 days to complete and then drag it out for 6 months because you have other projects you are working on. I understand that sometimes a project will take longer than planed and that is fine, just don't be ridiculous about it. Please keep me informed on how things are progressing with my site, I get very upset having weeks go by without any update, sending numerous emails and finally getting a response weeks later. If you do not agree to these terms then PLEASE do not bid on this project. Server, software misc. (if you do not know how to work with OSC on a Windows platform then please do not bid) [login to view URL] 2003 [login to view URL] 6 [login to view URL] 4.1.13 [login to view URL] 4.4.2 What has been completed so far. [login to view URL] a new Product type called Books with custom fields. [login to view URL] our current on-line inventory, about 5000 books into the new application. [login to view URL] to 4 different images with thumbnail and full size for each product. [login to view URL] product list for Froggle (have no idea if it really works or not). [login to view URL] book request form that can be filled out online. [login to view URL] box. [login to view URL] downloadable .PDF catalog of current (broken, will crash if an image does not exist during the file creation). What needs to be completed. [login to view URL] the layout problems. [login to view URL] do not process CC's online, we verify that we have the book before manually running the customers CC. CC info should be collected during checkout and saved with their order. Email notification should be sent to the admin of a new order. 3.Re-Import our current on-line inventory, about 7000 books into the new application. I will provide the export file in the required format. [login to view URL] a new book (record), text, pictures, selecting the category / sub-category etc must be done through a single on-line form with certain fields being required and / or validated before being able to submit. Once you add an entry it should go back to the same page to enter a new book NO BOUNCING AROUND, JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS! (being able to add new books to the database needs to be simple and fast is very important!) [login to view URL] needs to be able to generate a unique part number that is associated with each book on the fly. This number must never be re-used. (very important) [login to view URL] export scripts made for 3 different online book stores such as Barnes and Nobel that we send our inventory to (these are simple tab [login to view URL] files). Verify that the export for Froggle is working.. [login to view URL] the advanced search to be able to search by Title, Author, Illustrator etc. [login to view URL] ?News Desk? we do not use it. [login to view URL] the downloadable .PDF catalog generator so it will not crash if an image file does not exist. [login to view URL] from OSC does not seem to work, not sure if it was broken somehow during the customizing or ? Thank you Dan
