101-999 = 3.00
1000-up =10.00

It sounds like you are describing a listing fee. If I understand correctly, you want a seller to pay $1.50 for the first 100 items he sells and $3 for the next 999 items he sells... At this second, this plugin does not support listing fees. A listing fee feature is coming in about 4-6 weeks from today (2/18/13).

At this moment, the plugin supports final value fees that you can customize at the usergroup level. For example, if you have "new members" and "donating members," and if a new members sells an item for $100, you can optionally charge some % of the final sale price, like 1% or 0.5%. And if a "donating member" sells an item for $100, you can optionally charge a different % of the final sale price like 0% or 0.1%.

I see where you stated 3% later in page 8...
(but now I also see Shawn's reply...If they opt for pay pal it should bypass your system not be routed through it... I guess I will offer to buy a version as I described but AS I stated I want no outside anything...) I would prefer they be able to use pay pal...(I see that was mentioned as an option) So how are you making money for this if they do that?

Example... a seller sells an item for $100 on your site. The buyer pays with a credit card. The seller chooses to use Enthusify to collect, verify, and transfer the buyer's payment. The seller chooses to have the buyer's payment deposited to his PayPal account. Assume you choose collect a 0.5% final value fee on all successful sales. The seller will receive $96.50. Enthusify will collect $3 - most of which goes to credit card interchange fees. You will receive $0.50. The seller will NOT incur additional PayPal fees.

Within a few minutes.

At this time, for the reasons I mentioned in a post above... PCI compliance, SSL encryption, we are not working on a version that is standalone. The costs to develop such a system would be too great for most community owners.

Sorry - I am not sure what you are asking here.

Could I offer these features like , based on location broken down by states and have the item list a post in the proper states so users can narrow down items they could drive to and pick up in person?
Can they also narrow down a search to find the quickest delivery time / pricing like Ebay does? and Craigslist regional?

At this time we offer the following sorting and filtering options...
Filters:
Show "Active" listings
Show "Sold" listings
Show listings without images

Sorting options:
Date posted
Price
Item name

You can customize the categories to align with the organization needs of your marketplace. You can route the listings into designated subforums dependent on the category the seller assigns to the listing.
