Enthusify delivered a great new feature today... now a seller can select how the buyer's payment is transferred to him/her. Sellers can select between PayPay, Check, and Direct Deposit. A seller can also choose to collect payment on his/her own and bypass the plugins embedded payment processing and protection service entirely.

Here is a screen shot of the options a seller sees when he/she is creating a listing:

We are excited to announce a massive update:

User group access and fee customization!

• You can determine whether or not a usergroup can sell an item in the marketplace.
• You can specify the transaction fee you wish to retain keep from each transaction, per usergroup.

To take advantage of this feature:

1. Sign into the vBulletin admin control panel -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager
2. Click ?go? to edit the desired usergroup
3. The second section, Enthusify, has a toggle that controls whether or not that usergroup can sell.
4. There is also a field to enter a fee. Type in a number (max of two decimals) that represents the % fee you?d like to collect from each successful sale. Do NOT include the % sign.
5. Save.
6. Note: These fields will be applied according to the PRIMARY usergroup that each user belongs to. If a user?s primary usergroup cannot sell an item, but is a member of a usergroup that can sell, the fee from the secondary usergroup will apply.

New Or Best Offer (OBO) system!

• When creating a listing, a seller can indicate if he/she would like to accept best offers for the item.
• If a seller is accepting offers, buyers can submit an offer from the item?s info page.
• Using the messaging system, a seller can send a buyer a link to a unique checkout page that corresponds to a special price for the item.
• Sellers can cancel offers they?ve sent to buyers.

Usability enhancements!

• Improved email copy, layout, and design for sellers when their item sells.
• Improved email copy, layout, and design to notify a member that someone messaged them via the marketplace.
• Improved the image upload process and user interface for a seller creating a listing.
• Various improvements to buttons, forms, and backgrounds.
• Various minor improvements to the messaging system.
• Various minor bug fixes.

Thread prefixes!

• vBulletin threads created by Enthusify now work with an existing plugin (made by JamesGunner at vBulletin.org) that allow you to append a prefix to threads posted to a subforum.
• The necessary files and instructions are included in the latest Enthusify zip package.
• Be an awesome member of the vBulletin community and click ?MARK AS INSTALLED? here to give JamesGunner credit for his plugin.

Postbit template

• You can optionally add a link to your member's postbit template that links to the member's items for sale in the marketplace.

Enthusify now contains a rating system for when members buy / sell / trade items from each other.

New features:

• Buyer / Seller feedback system! (see screen shot below)
• Improved clarity around required fields.
• Updated various transaction emails to make them more clear.
• 14 day reminder to a seller that a listing is live. Reminder directs seller to update the listing if it has sold elsewhere.

Bug fixes:

• FIXED: In list view of search results, images were not centering in big monitors.
• FIXED: Seller profile pages images were not scaling properly.
• FIXED: Marketplace link in Seller profile was not linking properly.
• FIXED: Threads are updating a seller's post count.
• FIXED: Buy Now button in threads was sometimes breaking.

Coming next:

• Improvements to the photo uploader to improve usability and to work properly on iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android devices.
• Big project that will take some time - the ability to create threads in different sub forums depending on the sub category selected by the seller.

Great idea but having to e-mail someone so that we can use it is a bit annoying, I like to download and install and move on.

Thanks for the feedback. We will move to self-service checkout at some point. Right now, we are making sure that we can provide superior support for the folks who install. Due to the fact the plugin includes a payment processing component, we also have to make sure that the community commerce is legal. We hope you chose to send us an email to request an activation key.

e-mail sent :) thanks for explaining

Major upgrade to the Enthusify classifieds plugin for vBulletin coming soon!!! Get ready for version 2.0.0. We keep shipping. The changelog tells the story.

As Madeleine Albright stated in her 2007 UNC commencement address, "Real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice. It comes from realizing that the time has come to move beyond waiting to doing."

That's right. It is time to install the Enthusify classifieds plugin. Version 2.0.1 is here and it is awesome.

New features include:

• When an item sells, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with a 'sold' status.
• When a seller edits a listing, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with the new information.
• A buyer's email receipt from a purchase now includes the seller's email address.
• There is now a point-and-click way to redirect the 'Post New Thread' button of any subforum to the plugin.
• The plugin can now route a listing to a designated subform based on the category the seller assigned to the listing.
• Significant 'under the hood' changes should eliminiate the need to update 'classifieds.php' in the future.
• An option to reorder categories.
• And more. Find more details in the changelog.

Can you release a light version that has no payment processing, just local stuff. like craigslist.

Enthusify allows a seller to opt out of payment processing. If all your sellers want to collect payment on their own, they can. Thus, the "full version" comes with the "light version" :-) Drop me an email if you want a marketplace id.
