Integration with vBulletin - Integrated Classifieds Plugin - by 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

Yes - we are aware of sub optimal page load times. We are working on some performance enhancements. Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

For all intents and purposes, the escrow is until the buyer/seller confirm receipt. Following the completion of a successful sale, the buyer and seller receive emails reminding them to notify Enthusify when the transaction is complete in order to speed up the final transfer of funds. Anecdotally, well over half our buyers notify us to transfer their payment well before the 14 day mark.

Extra for listings that can show up on forum home, etc? Again, you wouldn't have to create any video upload/playing software, just allow customers to insert youtube embed links (nicely).

Cool thought. This wasn't on our product roadmap. I added it. The ideas you enumerate here would certainly be implemented as settings seeing as how many of our partners do not want to charge members listing fees of any kind. Other partners are interested in tools to implement and collect listing fees.

The categories are highly customizable. However, Enthusify has to administer them for the forum. Enthusify can update the categories remotely. Edits and updates can be implemented right away.

Enthusify just shipped a bunch of new features. No action is required to upgrade to these features. The new features automatically populated to live installations of the Enthusify classifieds software.

New features:

• Seller feedback system! (see screen shot below)
• Improved clarity around required fields.
• Updated various transaction emails to make them more clear.
• 14 day reminder to a seller that a listing is live. Reminder directs seller to update the listing if it has sold elsewhere.

Bug fixes:

• FIXED: In list view of search results, images were not centering in big monitors.
• FIXED: Seller profile pages images were not scaling properly.
• FIXED: Marketplace link in Seller profile was not linking properly.
• FIXED: Threads are updating a seller's post count.
• FIXED: Buy Now button in threads was sometimes breaking.

Coming next:

• Improvements to the photo uploader to improve usability and to work properly on iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android devices.
• Big project that will take some time - the ability to create threads in different sub forums depending on the sub category selected by the seller.

Question: Is it only feedback for sellers and not buyers?

At this second, that is correct. The feedback system just collects and records feedback for sellers. We will release a buyer feedback tool shortly.

Major upgrade to the Enthusify classifieds plugin for vBulletin coming soon!!! Get ready for version 2.0.0. We keep shipping. The changelog tells the story.

[Enthusify]

Today's release of the Enthusify vBulletin classifieds plugin version 2.0.1 reminds me of this quote:

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
- Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

New features include:

• When an item sells, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with a 'sold' status.
• When a seller edits a listing, the plugin updates the thread version of the listing with the new information.
• A buyer's email receipt from a purchase now includes the seller's email address.
• There is now a point-and-click way to redirect the 'Post New Thread' button of any subforum to the plugin.
• The plugin can now route a listing to a designated subform based on the category the seller assigned to the listing.
• Significant 'under the hood' changes should eliminiate the need to update 'classifieds.php' in the future.
• An option to reorder categories.
• And more. Find more details in the changelog.

What I've seen looks pretty good, but I need to know how much it is.
I want the system offered to my users for free. pretty much just a listing.
Can't find any prices anywhere.
