charge percentage on closing

[kevinnet]

i do not want to charge service seller monthly fee - i want to charge a percent of the amount on closing - like ebay ;)
is that possible?

Kevinnet,

That is all part of the current system. In creating a subscription plan, you can charge what ever you want for a daily, monthly or yearly subscription. Nothing ($0) if you choose. You also set the commission rate for each subscription, which is based on the accepted project bid. The system will even allow you to share or split the final commission between the buyer and the provider if you like. I believe that you can even charge the buyer a flat fee for posting a project. I'll have to go through the admincp and check on that. The system is very flexible and is getting better as we speak.

Yes, for services I assume you are speaking of :)

Basically, you can do it a number of ways. You can charge "award" fees basically for when the "buyer" finally awards the service provider. You could for example disable monthly subscription fees, disable commission fees and then only charge a fee (fixed for percentage) for the amount that the buyer had awarded.

As for product auction scenerio, I'd have to check. I think this is possible, but I'm not 100% sure.

BTW - I am referring to ILance 3.0.0 above .. not v2.5.0.

sorry peter, i edited the original question, i got new question :)
also under group permission, there are few items i dont understand:

1 - Total attachment storage space for any customer within this permission group (default value is 10000, is this megabytes? or number of attachment?)

2 - Maximum Profile Attachments
what is this for?

1 - Total attachment storage space for any customer within this permission group (default value is 10000, is this megabytes? or number of attachment?)

This is not for megabytes as this would be 10 gigabytes. However, I think this is for kilobytes which would be 10 megabytes

2 - Maximum Profile Attachments
what is this for?

This is the amount of attachment(s) that is allowed for an provider on your marketplace... IE: When a provider is creating a profile, how many attachments can he/she attach to this particular profile?
