Major Additions - vBulletin classifieds mod from Panjo

As of September 2015, the Panjo marketplace mod for vBulletin has been completely rearchitected.

You can learn more about the latest version of the mod on Panjo's vBulletin partner page.

This mod enables you to launch a peer-to-peer community marketplace that is integrated into your vBulletin forum.

Here is how it works:
1) Install the plugin.
2) Customize the categories you want in your marketplace.
3) Contact Chad at Panjo: chad@panjo.com to activate your marketplace.
4) When a seller goes to a new or old subforum dedicated to buying/selling/trading, and clicks on the "post new thread" button, the mod will load a listing creation form.
5) The seller will create a listing. The listing will appear in the marketplace. A synchronized copy of the listing will appear in the appropriate buy/sell/trade subforum.

Is this plugin free?
Yes, this plugin is free.

Can you make money with this plugin?
Yes, you can optionally use this plugin to generate marketplace transaction revenue.

How is it with mobile?
The marketplace loads with layouts that are optimized for high res desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Examples:
Porsche Marketplace <syncs with> Porsche classifieds subforum
BMW Marketplace <syncs with> BMW classifieds subforums
Audi Marketplace <syncs with> Audi classifieds subforums
Belly dancing marketplace <syncs with> Belly dancing classifieds subforums

What are the terms of revenue share? Are forums at the mercy of your servers being fast/reliable and up for years to come? How is the content presented to the browser -- as an iframe (bad for seo) or some other method?

Thanks for these great questions.

At present, the plugin supports a 'final value fee.' If you had a final value fee of 1% and a seller sold an item for $100, you would get $1. You can customize the final value fee on a usergroup by usergroup-basis. Support for optional listing fees and promotional fees is coming soon.

When a seller creates a listing using this vBulletin marketplace plugin, the plugin creates a thread post with the information. This has the following impacts:
1) Listings show up in today's posts
2) Search engines index the thread post
3) You have a local copy of the listing
4) The thread post is synchronized with the plugin. When the item sells, the listing updates to 'sold' status.
5) If you ever want to discontinue use of the plugin, you can do so while retaining the legacy content.

Which currency can this plugin support?

How much does Panjo charge the seller for each transaction?

How much can the forum gain for each transaction?

Are this classified database and images (uploaded by members) hosted by Panjo's server?

How heavy is this plugin adding to the server load?

How trustable is Panjo in handling the money paid by buyers and give to sellers? What if Panjo takes the money and run away, will the forum has to be responsible for such incident?

Which currency can this plugin support?

> As of today, just US dollars. ($) Support for more currencies is coming soon.

How much does Panjo charge the seller for each transaction?

> If a seller optionally chooses to use Panjo to collect, verify, and transfer the buyer's payment, Panjo charges a flat 3%.

How much can the forum gain for each transaction?

> The forum can set its own final value fee for each transaction on top of the flat 3%. That rate is up to the forum. The forum can charge different rates to different user groups.

Are this classified database and images (uploaded by members) hosted by Panjo's server?

> Panjo posts a thread for each listing into your forum so you have a local copy of the content.

How heavy is this plugin adding to the server load?

> Due to the cloud hosted nature of the transactional aspects of the plugin, there is effectively no server load burden.
