I want to charge a $10 fee per new thread in my classified section

[Make Money?]

Hi

Yep my sites clasifieds section is ROMPING along! :squareeyed:

Lots of commerce, :nervous:

Me and the webites co-owner not getting a SINGLE penny of it. :tired:

I dont want to get too deep into auction software (I would if I could co-opt out the auction admin work to a 3rd party that would handle security & dispute issues.. I dont want to carry THAT hot potato.. any suggestions?)

But I DO feel a charge of $10 per "thread start" in the classifieds would be totally fair...(course every one that enjoyed the free ride will go bananas for a while.. but they will settle down... the core activity is not the classifieds - so this wont kill the site off.. IMHO)

Folks are FREQUENTLY selling items worth over $2,000, I gotta be able to collect a FEW ten Dollars.....???

How can I do this please?

I am using VB3.0.7

Charge for thread creation in one designated forum? (all susequent posts on the thread are free / no charge)

PayPal = fine

(BTW If no provision exists for it at this time, could you point me in the direction of someone that could write a hack for a fee? What should that cost?)

Leftfield ideas welcome...

TIA
