Would this apply to paypal? or cash as well?

Either one I suppose most of my members all use paypal. Just seems like a great alternative. I was going to make a membergroup and have a paid subscription but I cant figure out a fair price

Ok I added the code above over top my old vbay link then edited the phrase $vbphrase from vbay to the name of my new one ...

So it appears to be working w/o the enable link in nav bar turned on

I cant set my usergroups. It only allows me to use one number in the field. It is supposed to be like 2,5,6,7,8 right?

[DieselMinded]

You can only allow 1 user group to sell

[Revpolar]

Ohhh ok

I think it would be better if we could allow more than one.

[DieselMinded]

I made my Paid Members the Sellers and i added Sponsors to the Paid members As there secondary user group so sponsors could use it ,,

All members can bid and win tho

The newer versions use phrases, so if you have the phrases translated they shouldnt be overwritten when you upgrade.
