[XFA] Forum Sales - XF2 3.0.1

Description
Have you ever searched for a simple sale/classifieds solution allowing your user to sell their stuff directly from the forums ?

Forum Sales is the solution ! Through a few additional fields to fill-in upon thread creation or edit, your users can start selling their stuff through threads. You can fine tune who and where sales are possible thanks to usergroup permission and nodes configuration.

Sales payment can be configured in two modes [NEW 2.1.0]:

• Individual: Users get paid directly either by PayPal or external means (eg. money, check, ..., if you authorize it as you wouldn't be able to get percentage on sales).
• Centralized: You get paid by PayPal for every sale of users items and you then manually transfer the money back to the seller. The buyer has the mean to confirm the effective reception of the item thus allowing you to only give money back for guaranteed sales.

This product is also for you a new source of revenue thanks to Paypal Adaptive payments implementation, allowing you to set a percentage you want to retain on user sales. The percentage amount is automatically processed during the payment and sent to your paypal account while the rest is sent to the seller account in individual mode.
In centralized mode, the amount is substracted from the owed amount.

In individual mode, you can also let your user decide wether they want to donate or not a percentage of the sale as a participation to your website cost, all through options.
