Maybe I should try a fresh install ?

[Blaine0002]

that mightbe an option if you have nothing to use (like a test site or something)

First tell me what versions of php or mysql you are running.
Are you running VB 3.6.8?

thnx for update

Hi, and can we (the website) make money from the Vbay transactions??? Or is it just buy/sell auction without any percentage coming to us?

Let me know how this could be used to make little bit of profit for the website that it is on. Because I need something to pay for my server costs!

I'm running mine free, I figure if it ever really takes off and people are using it like crazy...maybe start charging a fee then.

For now, the transaction between buyer and seller is conducted outside the vbay platform so I suppose you could simply tell people what the percentage was and try to collect it.

You may also consider a "membership fee" type thing where you only give access for people to sell on it if they give you a monthly bit.

Just suggestions though, hope that helps.

[Blaine0002]

If you just set something with a Buy It Now, do you have to put an end time?

And if you have more than one of the same item you want to sell, do you have to post twice or can you list it as more than one item in the same post?
