Hi everyone,

This is being released initially as a closed beta while we continue to add to the product. If you are planning to purchase DragonByte Classifieds and would like to join in on the closed beta, please PM myself and we'll see if we can get you involved.

DragonByte Classifieds allows your users to sell items in a feature rich Classifieds system that allows for Auctions as well as stock controlled Buy-it-Now listings.

Integrated into vBulletin, DragonByte Classifieds also allows users to see current listings, create their own postage and address options for use with their own listings and upload pictures to be displayed along with the listings.

With a permissions system, automated bidding on auctions, customizable feedback system, fees and fully customizable categories and specifications, DragonByte Classifieds caters for a wide range of requirements.

Major Features

Multiple Listing Types: Auction, Buy-it-Now (with stock support) and Wanted Items Listings Types to allow your users to sell and barter for items in a variety of ways.

AJAX Integration: We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads, including bidding, checking for new bids as well as other areas.
