Thanks for these great questions.

At present, the plugin supports a 'final value fee.' If you had a final value fee of 1% and a seller sold an item for $100, you would get $1. You can customize the final value fee on a usergroup by usergroup-basis. Support for optional listing fees and promotional fees is coming soon.

When a seller creates a listing using this vBulletin marketplace plugin, the plugin creates a thread post with the information. This has the following impacts:
1) Listings show up in today's posts
2) Search engines index the thread post
3) You have a local copy of the listing
4) The thread post is synchronized with the plugin. When the item sells, the listing updates to 'sold' status.
5) If you ever want to discontinue use of the plugin, you can do so while retaining the legacy content.
