1. You could I suppose remove any currencies you do not want to show in the currency table in phpmyadmin.
2. Not sure what shipping options you refer to. One can enter a shipping price to pay a seller but this program is not really a shopping cart you do not pick shipping etc

4. The only vb4 plugin for classifieds I know of is the one I created
