Great hack, but I encountered an error while importing the product:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_user ADD COLUMN `vbayaddress` text NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'vbayaddress'
Error Number : 1060

I fixed mine by manually dropping vbayaddress. I'm posting this as a heads-up.

Another error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /vbay.php on line 205

This is present at vbay.php?do=post

Updated perfectly, thank you.

As far as the "options" template and adding some text there? What would be the easiest way?

I just basically want to put in a link to our privacy policy and a quick thing about how info will only be shown to the seller

[fox3nova]

bugs report:
If someone end of the bid and the seller or the buyer's pm contects their address,
but all info will put into the $street only ,the $city ,$stat ,$country ,$zip and the $XXXown will print not thing.

[DieselMinded]

Blain it still asks for

Contact Information:
Will be given out only to the buyer
Payment information, Phone numbers ECT.

This info should be put in automatically
