Setting up paypal to post classified ads

[Joe67]

I have been looking in my classified admin panel to setup my paypal settings. I have found Payment Options and entered my paypal email address and set the currency code.

I have not found an area to setup pricing or ad timing variables, can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, I would like ads to email sellers every 90 days and give them the option to renew for free or the ad will be removed. It looks like the CRON settings in this thread is the way to do that?
Why arent ads expiring?

Thanks

Yes the cron task is how you would send users a renew link or expire/remove ads.

Now to setup payment you need to select say paypal as your processor and enter your paypal address where asked in payment options. Next you go to Edit Usergroups in Admin and select which usergroups to allow payment etc. You can then in Edit Categories in Admin setup the price for placing an ad for payment in each category etc. Then when a user uploads an ad to that category belonging to the usergroups you specify they will be prompted for payment.

thanks Chuck.

I just found the edit usergroups feature and allowed registered users to make payments. I am now in the edit categories area, thanks for the help!

Not a problem glad to assist let me know if there is anything else we can assist with.

Looks like that part is good to go.

I'd like to add text on my main classifieds page, between the Welcome bar and the Category bar (see image attached)

Where would I do this?

Have you tried using the announcement box in Admin => Index Options?
