One Time Sale

customized products, onced sold want to be marked sold

[avermat]

Have a website, use paypal shopping cart. I am wondering how I could have a product (one of a kind product) where only one is avaible. So once somebody buys it, it is either removed or marked sold and no one else will be able to buy that item.

Anybody have any ideas on this?

You can use IPN to send a server post to your website, then you can use the data from the IPN to manage your inventory.

Your ideal solution is to use a database to manage your inventory. However, you will need to rewrite your pages with dynamic pages, and it may not always be feasible. For a quick fix, you can use the server.filesystem to remove the chunk of HTML code that display the Paypal button.

Either way, you must know a bit of ASP or PHP to be able to accomplish this.
