PayPal buy it now options - remove

redmtnex · February 18th, 2007, 02:31 PM

During the place an ad process users have the option to turn on

"Allow Users to Buy your Ad via Paypal Immediately? Please note your email on the system here must match your paypal email account for you to enable this feature.:"

All fine and dandy but how do I as admin remove this feature from the post an ad page. I can not find it anywhere.
Also if a buyer does use that option and buy the product and pay for it thru paypal will the photopost classifieds system update the listing as sold?

Yes if the user users buy it now the system is properly updated

There is not an admin way to remove it cause it is not a admin feature but a user feature meaning buy it is not triggered unless a user sets it to yes and then only is it shown

You can alter your uploadproduct template and say remove this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

More questions about how this feature operates.

By "properly updated" I assume you mean the ad is marked sold?

If the "Buy it now" button sends the buyer to PayPal to pay the listing price of the item, what about the shipping charge?

If the ad is marked sold immediately when the "buy it now" button is pressed, what happens if the buyer doesn't complete the PayPal process? How does classifieds know the ad is really paid for?

If the PayPal payment fails or is not completed, how does the seller get the ad back online?

Thanks,

Damon

The ad is marked sold when the user is returned to your site after buying the ad and going through payment not when the button is priced

I think that answers your questions except shipping. There is no shipping set up so like most sellers when you post stuff on ebay etc you always want to adjust your price to include shipping costs as shipping is always included when you buy something from most ad sites.
