Hi everyone,
DragonByte Classifieds v1.0.0 Beta 12 arrives with bug fixes, several changes and new features. Among the new features included this release are the additional Payment options (Payment Processors) for Cash on Collection, Cheque/Check and Bank Transfer. These new features are payment methods that Classifieds cannot track, so the system allows users to mark a purchase as 'Initiated' and informs the seller that they are ready to arrange the payment.
As a note regarding using Classifieds and these new methods of payment, we would recommend reminding your users that providing any sort of financial information through the Personal Messaging system is done so with no encryption, and so if users need to use PMs remind them to delete messages from their inbox and sent items boxes as soon as they have safely stored the data to process the transaction.
Remember, we have installed the latest Beta of Classifieds here on DBTech. We have created some 'fake' items and have left PayPal in Sandbox mode so that no real money changes hands allowing anyone to test how the system works. We look forward to your feedback. Go here for the latest listings: View Listings - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons.
To create a PayPal Sandbox account you need to head over to this page: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/accounts. Once you login with your regular PayPal account you can then create a sandbox testing account to use to 'purchase' the items on our Classifieds.
You can purchase DragonByte Classifieds here.
A special thanks to everyone who has provided feedback during the past week, especially the ever hard working beta testers. We are working hard to keep on top of all the bug reports and feature requests.
