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

Are you saying your software supports such features as listing fees?

would like to know this as well.

My forums are setup with two separate for sale/classifieds sections. One is for members and the other is for paid listings and aren't usually selling one specific product to one person. The for sale forum is free for members.

Today, April 20, 2013, we do not have a listing fee feature. That feature should be live in a couple of weeks. It is a high priority on our product roadmap.

Today, the plugin supports the optional collection of a final value fee on successful sales. You can set the fee per user group. Thus, when user group A sells an item you get 2% of the sale and when user group B sells an item you get 0% of the sale. (or any fractional % you want)

Example: Seller sells an item for $100. Seller belongs to a user group with a 2% final value fee collected by the forum. The seller gets $95. Enthusify gets 3% ($3) to cover credit card interchange fees and its service. The forum gets 2% ($2). The seller gets $95.

This is something I definitely would use if:

-I pay for the mod and there are no final value fees for forum members to Enthusify. This is a total deal breaker, I won't even install as a demo if this isn't addressed.

-Integrated Paypal payment.

-I need to control the categories.

-We already have years of transactions - admin needs to be able to adjust feedback to reflect past transactions.

-Many of our transactions are pre-orders where the seller/artist needs the funds to create the items.

Thanks for the note. It looks like you are interested in the mod for sideshowcollectors.com? I see you are using iTrader. We can import legacy iTrader ratings for sellers.

You can add, edit, and delete categories, subcategories, and category attributes.

There are no problems using the system for pre-orders.

Sellers can use the mod 100% fee free.

Feel free to email me: chad@enthusify.com

Yes, it can be 100% fee free, which means the forum owner also collects nothing from the transaction. I want to be able to collect 1 or 2% from the transaction, but 10% is incredibly unreasonable and that scale of a fee is why sellers use my site rather than ebay.

It's great that you can import feedback from itrader- but we have feedback from before itrader I'd also like to incorporate.

Ah, maybe you read an old post or saw some old pricing. We don't charge a 10% final value fee. If you want to collect 1-2%, this plugin can do that for you. This plugin allows you to set a fee on a usergroup-by-usergroup basis.

We should be able to import feedback from other sources. So long as you can give us a spreadsheet with usernames and feedback, we should be able to import it.

The live demo doesn't seem to be working - I would like to try it.

Sorry about that. Yes, we are doing some upgrades today and the demo environment doubles as a test environment. Drop me an email and I can direct you to some sites to kick the tires. You can also install the plugin locally in "demo mode." chad@enthusify.com
