Need help - a Classifieds Software

Classifieds software

[redraider]

Hi Friends,

This is my first post on webmasters world. I am building a website which allows users to post classifieds. I am trying to find a classifieds software which would allow me to charge a commission (2-5%) on each sale that someone's classified gets.

Is someone aware of any such softwares. Your response is greatly appreciated

Thanks

There are plenty of classified applications and scripts that may be had from various script archives but I don't think I've ever come across any with commission functionality.

You're best bet would probably be to pick one of the apps already available in your technology of choice and then modify it to perform the task(s) that you require.

For example, Hot Scripts has an entire section of Scripts and Programs for Classified Ads - http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Classified_Ads/index.html .

Yeah, sounds like it's going to require a customized solution. I developed one for a R.E. agent 5 years ago. The way he did it was that when a business lead comes in, it goes to him, then he emails an agreement to the contactee pending payment. Once he's paid he sends on the lead. Kind of an obtrusive system, there must be a better way.
