Is there a fix for this? It would really be a pain to have to keep re-listing my inventory every 3 months.

Thanks!

has anyone been able to figure out a way to resolve these bugs and integrate with paypal??

[indie2industry]

I have a few ideas. add the option to put cat is order. add the option to edit cat name. add the option to close for maintenance.

Thanks

This is so close to being exactly what we need for our forum. One thing I would like to see is the ability to limit the bidders by usergroup the same as you can with the sellers.

( The plan we'd like to implement is to allow everyone to view the auctions but make the ability to bid on the auction a premium feature for paying subscribers (along with the ability to sell).)

Also, the ability to have subcategories would be a nice addition as well. For example, we are a parenting board, so it would be nice for us to be able to have a Children's Clothes category with subcategories for specific name brands.

That, plus integrating the iTrader system would be awesome.

This is a good mod and with just a little tweaking it could be phenomenal. Thanks for working on it!!
