Fees

• Set main settings, including account type:-

ACCOUNT MODE FEATURES:-

• Users can build up a account which is paid off once a month.  The admin user can set the credit limit any user can go to.  Once the credit limit is reached the users account is blocked until they make payment.  The admin user can also send any invoice requesting payment.  You can also give any user free credit or debit their account.   This allows sellers to lists items without having to pay each time.  Overall it works like eBay.

PAY AS YOU GO FEATURES:-

• Users pay fees on demand.  For example when listing an auction the seller must pay their fees before the item is listed.  If you enable Pay As You Go the system will forward the seller to the relevant payment page and prompt them to pay the listing fees.  If the seller fails to pay the listing fee the auction isn't listed.  The end of auction fee works slightly differently.  When a sellers successfully sells an item the buyers contact details are withheld until they login into the members area and pay the end of auction fee.  Once it's paid the buyers details are forwarded to the seller.
