Oh...and one more thing...

Can someone recommend a seller rating mod that isn't in the modification graveyard?

Much appreciated...

Itrader is available ..i think..if not i have it

[Blaine0002]

It seems the person who took over itrader doesn't seem too understand what it means to release a free mod for vbulletin, and is now selling licenses for it. (doh) Since I want to make vbay and all its ties completely free (besides vbulletin ) and depending on if I can convince him to keep ITrader free, I might need to leave it out of VBay. Sorry guys!

[Saviour]

Actually...you have to purchase a membership in order to get user permissions to download iTrader from the developer's site. I needed it...so I paid the membership fee.

Thanks, for the offer, though, zombietom.

No worries, Blaine0002...

[Blaine0002]

i think its still unnecesary that you should need to pay to access free software. I will still include itrader in vbay, but i dont know how much it will be used.

[Digital Jedi]

If you can still integrate it for those of us who still have iTrader installed, it would be great.

As soon as I post a new auction is says the auction is Complete immediately. What gives? How do I fix this?

I'm using 3.8.2. That shouldn't effect it should it?

[Bounce]

Do'nt know if someone has posted this as cant be assed shifting throu 1400 posts lol but does this have the ability of charging the user a fee before listing his/her item, thanks

[Blaine0002]

make a sellers usergroup, then use the vbulletin payment gateway to give users access to that usergroup

[SledgeHead]

I've only been waiting half a week for an answer and then it's passed over. Nice.

As soon as I post a new auction it says the auction is Complete immediately. It never actually opens for bidders despite setting it for 14 days. I'm using 3.8.2. That shouldn't effect it should it?
