Here's a question - does the system handle delivery (download) of digital products (PDFs, or the like)? Having users sell digital products to each other for real money sounds pretty awesome.

Yeah, I actually think it looks pretty interesting and I'd like to try it out. Maybe those using it now can let me know if it's possible to try out on a live site in a way that will be invisible to normal users? (It didn't seem to want to register properly on my dev server.)

Anyone go through the details of the privacy policy or terms of service? I'm curious how much information Panjo collects and keeps. For example, does Panjo keep all buyer and seller contact info? Would Panjo ever try to sell that info to a 3rd party or directly try to advertise to my members via email or otherwise?

Panjo asked for my email address when I first went to list an item (it didn't when I started to list a second item) and has a note saying it will only be used to notify you of activity on your listing, and will not be sold. It didn't ask for other info - address or anything - though it asked for a shipping country. So all it's got is an email addy and a description of an item, which seems fairly OK to me. If they start directly emailing my members other than that, I'll be surprised (and very pissed!)

(Oh, it asked for my PayPal account, too).

Not much else to report. Most folks selling stuff on my site simply link to eBay auctions, so I don't know if it'll get used.

One thing I don't like about it is that the page title is "Panjo Marketplace", not your own site's.

As far as I can see, listings don't get mirrored in the associated forum (using the 4.2.2 included installation).

We quickly learned that members often have old, bad, or unmonitored email addresses associated with their vBulletin forum credentials. As the marketplace was sending emails to sellers with information about their listing, like a question asked or the fact the listing sold, the sellers were not getting those emails. That is why we ask a seller for an email.

Hmmm... I think the way it should work is that the fields would pre-populate with the info, but give the user the opportunity to edit it. Perhaps with a message conveying the importance of a current email address. The next time the forum member uses the service, it would again pre-populate, but with the email address he used last time.

If that feature is not working for you, let us know.
