Now that I've sorted that problem LOL here is my next...

Where do you enter your paypal address that you want the buyer to send the money to?

Off to search the thread again LOL

lol, some work needed on this me thinks, here is the pm i got from my test purchase

Note that if this does not look correct, get in contact with me or an administrator before sending your goods. Thanks!

This was the BUYER that received this

yea some bugs in the current version , you are going to need to search your phrases for vbay, find the phrase and then edit it to your liking.
i think its called vbay_pm_buyer or similar.

Ye, once they are all sorted this will be a good one.

add paypal api is an important one IMHO, as soon as the auction ends they get a paypal bill or similiar and the addresses of users should not be sent to the buyers, they don't need to know the sellers address, keep up the good work thou

Hi everyone, sorry if this has already been mentioned here but does this work with 3.8? or is there another version of this that does.

Many thanks.

Does this turn the entire vbulletin into vBay or can you choose what area you want it to apply to?
