This is a fantastic inclusion for vBulletin, and geting better all the time, well done guys and gals

A question on ad ownership. If the Panjo marketplace is enabled are there any restrictions on friendly crawlers/bots (Lionseek/bargaindashboard/et al) pulling this data from the forum and displaying it on their own web portal?
Note: I have no affiliation with lionseek or bargaindashboard.

No restrictions on bots.

Panjo recently released a mobile app to browse forum classifieds for iOS. This is just version one. Searching, sorting, and filtering is coming. Creating a listing is coming. For now, you can browse and buy. We welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Hi,
if i turned on the VB4.2.2 integratet Panjo, the follow Addon Check 4 Hack
says that the Pluginlist are infected.

The Plugin that are listet are from Panjo the Functions.

Is there a security Hole?

MrD - thanks for the note. As best we can tell, the issue is on the Check 4 Hack side. The Panjo plugin went through a very thorough QA process when vBulletin decided to preinstall the plugin in the latest version of vBulletin 4.2.2. 100s of forums owners have run the plugin through their own vetting process. We look forward to supporting you! Drop us an email or reach us on Skype (it looks like you are in Germany, we are in California, USA) if you need any help with configuration or launch.

Who is liable if a buyer pays, and a seller runs off with money?

When a seller creates a listing, the seller verifies his identity via a PayPal API.

Panjo currently uses PayPal as its payment processing partner. Panjo optimized the selling and buying work flows to maximize protections for both buyers AND sellers (like protections from chargebacks).

When the buyer pays, the buyer is covered by PayPal's buyer protection. If the buyer pays and the seller disappears, the buyer simply follows PayPal's dispute resolution process and is entitled to a full refund.

I'm kinda on the fence about this plugin. I generally like the idea and it does make the Classifieds seem more "professional." Currently I just use a set of forums to allow my members to post "For Sale", "Wanted", or "Trade" threads. Mine is a car-related site so I have several forums for different car models. When a member posts an ad in my classifieds forums, they are required to select one of three thread "prefixes" "For Sale", "Wanted" or "Trade". Obviously for the latter two categories there would be no "transaction fee". Seems that currently, if I link Panjo to my forums, I loose the ability for them to post "Wanted" or "Trade" ads. So, my question/suggestion is:

Does Panjo have plans to implement different ad types? (e.g., a user could select whether their ad is a "For Sale, Wanted, Trade" ?).

In the meantime, is there a way to have Panjo put a "For Sale" Prefix in from of a thread title if integrated into a forum?

Thanks in advance.

I might be willing to add panjo to several large forms, but not until this issue is resolved. The payment request 30 days after the sale is done is a non-starter for us. Hopefully you can get this done soon. Thanks.
