Classifieds System is an application that enables your members to list items for sale/trade, monetizing your community.
Requirement:
How does it work?
Admin can enable TRANSACTIONS, which will allow members to buy items directly from another member via app and the advertiser receives the amount paid via account credit. If TRANSACTIONS is disabled, things has to be done manually: member needs to contact the advertiser in ways he wants (he chooses when posting the advert), make the deal, then the advertiser will set the advert as PENDING DEAL. After the payment/deal is done, advertiser sets the advert as COMPLETED. In both cases, if the advert is a SALES advert type BIDS (offers) are allowed if the admin enables the setting and if the advertiser also enables it when posting the advert.
Changelog
I will no longer update version 2.3.
From now on I will only carry on with version 2.4 which is fully functional, there are only some features still under development, but they are new things like feedback and so you can safely use it.
