If Oprah were here she would say, "You get a feature and you get a feature and you get a feature."

We are excited to announce more payment transfer options for sellers in the latest release of the Enthusify plugin. Now sellers can select between PayPal, Check, or Direct Deposit. Sellers can also bypass the plugin's embedded payment processing and protection service and chose to manage payment on his/her own.

Here is a screen shot of the choices a seller sees when he/she is creating a listing:

Enthusify has rolled out a lot of new features in the last few days we have more coming in the next few weeks. Have you seen the Enthusify classifieds mod for vBulletin lately? Take a look!

Here is an animated tour of Enthusify's vBulletin classifieds mod.

[Enthusify]

We are excited to announce a massive update:

User group access and fee customization!

• You can determine whether or not a usergroup can sell an item in the marketplace.
• You can specify the transaction fee you wish to retain keep from each transaction, per usergroup.

To take advantage of this feature:

1. Sign into the vBulletin admin control panel -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager
2. Click ?go? to edit the desired usergroup
3. The second section, Enthusify, has a toggle that controls whether or not that usergroup can sell.
4. There is also a field to enter a fee. Type in a number (max of two decimals) that represents the % fee you?d like to collect from each successful sale. Do NOT include the % sign.
5. Save.
6. Note: These fields will be applied according to the PRIMARY usergroup that each user belongs to. If a user?s primary usergroup cannot sell an item, but is a member of a usergroup that can sell, the fee from the secondary usergroup will apply.

New Or Best Offer (OBO) system!

• When creating a listing, a seller can indicate if he/she would like to accept best offers for the item.
• If a seller is accepting offers, buyers can submit an offer from the item?s info page.
• Using the messaging system, a seller can send a buyer a link to a unique checkout page that corresponds to a special price for the item.
• Sellers can cancel offers they?ve sent to buyers.

Usability enhancements!

• Improved email copy, layout, and design for sellers when their item sells.
• Improved email copy, layout, and design to notify a member that someone messaged them via the marketplace.

• The necessary files and instructions are included in the latest Enthusify zip package.
• Be an awesome member of the vBulletin community and click ?MARK AS INSTALLED? here to give JamesGunner credit for his plugin.

Postbit template

• You can optionally add a link to your member's postbit template that links to the member's items for sale in the marketplace.

New features:

• Seller rating system! (see screen shot below)
