",8,"Automatic acceptance",3,5,5,"You can setup automatic acceptance of items for sale in your shop in various ways. You can control the number of items each player is allowed to sell and you can control the cost of items people are allowed to sell. You can set things up to be either automatically denied (not allowed to sell the item at all), automatically placed into the shop inventory or placed into the queue waiting for approval.
The order for checking for things for automatic approval is this: first the seller is checked for any hard limits on their sale price, then the item itself is checked for any limits, then the expressions are evaluated and checked and lastly the low level limits for automatic approval are checked on the player. When the seller is checked for hard limits and for the limit at which items can be sold automatically their limits specified specifically for the player are checked, and if they do not exist then the default limits are checked.
The basic commands for controlling this are the 'approve limit deny value <cost>', 'approve limit approve value <cost>' and 'approve limit number <number>'. These are the basic limits set on everyone that uses the store by default. These limits can be overridden by the other automatic acceptance controls.
'approve limit deny value <cost>' sets up the maximum cost that anything at all can be sold to the shop at. If an item exceeds this cost then it will not be allowed to be sold at all. It will be denied and not moved into the acceptance list. If this is unset, or set to 0, then there is no upper limit on the cost of something allowed to be sold in the shop.
'approve limit approve value <cost>' sets up the maximum cost that an item will automatically be accepted into the shop for. If this is set to a non-zero value than anythign which sells for less than this will be added to the shops inventory without going through the normal acceptance process. If this is not set, or set to zero, then all items will need to be approved before being added to the shop.
'approve limit number <number>' sets the maximum number of items than can be listed by the player in both the shop and in their approval list. This is to stop the shop owner from being deluged in items for approval.
'approve status' can be used to view the status of all the current auto approval limts specified in the shop. ","
