Hi Blaine,

I know your busy sorting out the fixes at the moment, but would it be possible to think about adding a "Wanted" part to the mod?

Auction
Buy It Now
Wanted

Item Name/ Item Description/Item Picture/ Payment Method

Then maybe a section underneath where the person with the item can add a description/picture/how much they want and postage.
You could have a button availble next to each persons reply called "Buy". when clicked by the original asking person it automatically puts it into a BIN auction and closes it with the requesting person being the winning buyer. At the same time it will also close the "Wanted" ad.

Totally understand. Was just a suggestion for the future

All the best

Blaine is there away to not require members to belong to the Vbay Seller Usergroup and just have access?
I feel there are a number of people that just do not want to go through the hassle of joining a group to see what is for sale.

Thanks, Dave

I have found a work around to create a promotion and have all the members added after 1 day to an additional user group.

It would be nice to be able just to add more then one user group to the list.

As far as I know, everyone can browse Vbay

Only sellers need to be in the Sellers group

From what I have seen it will not let you get into with out being subscribed to the group.
I added a test login and was not able to view.
But I have been wrong before.

this mod is great. i will love to actually use it when it gets paypal support

[Hengest]

Is there a way to change the default increment amount? I have had a couple of people forget to change it from zero and the price never goes up no matter how many people bid!

Hi, i've 2 question:

1. Is PPAL supported?
2. Can Vbay on my forum take a little percentual on Sales?

thanks for support
