First, it is important to note that to deliver the marketplace service, aspects of the marketplace are hosted. Due to the hosted nature of aspects of the service, buyers and sellers don't have to "create an account" so much as they have to "connect an account." Buyers and sellers don't need to create a new credential set. They simply need to connect their existing vBulletin account to the marketplace. Why? Here are two reasons...
1) The Panjo plugin helps facilitate the exchange of buyer and seller information in the case of a successful sale. Thus, buyers and sellers need to agree to terms and conditions related to the release of their contact information.
2) For sites using Panjo to generate revenue, the Panjo plugin is involved in the collection of fees. Sellers need to agree to terms related to fee collection.
