We just had someone sell a $1000 piece of machinery in PM and avoid the fee.
So, the fee really needs to be deducted up front.
 
Code: 
Warning: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'require_once(PPConfiguration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory' in library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPBootStrap.php:8 Stack trace: #0 /home/unitedst/public_html/library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPBootStrap.php(8): XenForo_Application::handlePhpError(2, 'require_once(PP...', '/home/unitedst/...', 8, Array) #1 library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPBootStrap.php(8): require_once() #2 library/XFA/ForumSales/Extends/ControllerPublic/Thread.php(137): require_once('/home/unitedst/...') #3 library/XenForo/FrontController.php(351): XFA_ForumSales_Extends_ControllerPublic_Thread->actionXfaFssPurchase() #4 /home/unitedst/public_html/library/XenForo/FrontController.php(134): XenForo_FrontController->dispatch(Object(XenForo_RouteMatch)) #5 /home/unitedst/public_html/index.php(13): XenForo_FrontController->run() #6 {main} thrown in library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPBootStrap.php on line 8

tomorrows my bday and i'd much rather not have to deal with this or people on my forums trying to sell their items saying "you've got an error".

This is something you will need to most likely have to pay to have done as most won't want this feature. Requiring payment fee up front will cause a lot less people to list items due to them either not having the money yet to cover the fees until it sells or just simple fear it won't sell on the site. Also then you run into issues having to refund the fee if the member sells elsewhere or cancels the ad, wants to relist it etc.. This is a big can of worms your trying to open with this suggestion.

Have you guys renamed library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPConfiguration.php.txt into library/XFA/ThirdParty/Paypal/PPConfiguration.php ?

As of today I don't know if I'll indeed be adding that for that same reasons and moreover as this is not the aim of the product as it could be done eg. with the paying memberships coming with xF.
 
ok I have it all setup now and renamed the txt file to php but when the button is clicked I get this:

We couldn't initialize the communication with Paypal, please contact our staff.

what does this mean? how do i fix it?
 
I have a set of feature requests which may be outside the scope of this addon, but as the features needed are similar to this addon here goes:
Instead of selling and buying, allow members to sponsor a suggestion in a thread. For example:
  1. A member starts a thread to suggests feature X.
  2. The admin agrees with the suggestion and activates 'sponsor suggestion' function. The admin then enters how much funds are needed to make it happen. Lets say it costs $100. The funds go to the admins PayPal account.
  3. A button displays 'Sponsor now for $100 USD'
  4. Member A, and B both pay $50 to sponsor the suggestion and therefore the button turns grey with the text 'Sponsored for $100 USD'
Such function would increase the development funds of webmasters which in turn is good for XF developers.
 
Sorry guys for the late reply, had a busy week so couldn't connect.

It means there is something going wrong with the Paypal API.
Have you followed the configuration instructions for paypal ?

They are here:
http://www.xen-factory.com/index.php?documents/rm-marketplace-faq.20/

They are flagged for RM Marketplace but it's the same paypal API so you won't have issues following them.

We have clear instructions in the FAQ.
Paypal is complicated API so it's kinda normal that configuration is a bit complicated.

It's kinda similar with the fact that's it's paypal. But it's somehow pretty different in the functionality.
Might consider developing this as a separate add-on.

What if funds haven't reached the total amount ? (never)
 
It would be nice if a thumbnail of the product could show up in the thread list. For example, the first picture uploaded becomes the thread's thumbnail.
 
That's not a bad idea, I might see.

Have you suggested it in our suggestion forum ?
