I currently run a vBulletin forum with 3500+members and a strong exchange section. I have been thinking of starting a classified site connected to the forum, so members could list their items. I was thinking of getting an ebay clone script to do this. From what I understand I would be able to collect a fee for members listing their products, and then they will pay the 3% paypal fee which will protect against any fraud? Can someone explain if this is true. I have thought of starting something like this for a while, but I often wondered about whether members would still be protected. But if all payments go through Paypal, then they should be protected correct? Also can someone recommend an auction site script? I want an easy to user admin panel and appealing user interface. I don't want it to look like ebay, I would prefer a unique look. I am looking to spend $100-$200 on this max, can anyone recommend a script? Any advice is appreciated! I have been looking at ebayclonescript . com has anyone ever use this before?
