Allow me to reintroduce you to one of our flagship plugins we like to call PBAY! While our other Store plugin focuses on Site-to-User sales, PBAY takes social e-commerce a step further to focus on User-to-User sales. PBAY allows Users (and Groups) to open their own stores, sell their own items, receive payments directly, manage their store-fronts, while you (the admin) get to stand out of their way and just earn money!

First, let's start with the more traditional ebay-esk model. As the admin of your site, you can run PBAY very much like ebay in that you can let your Users list items for BuyNow, Bidding Only, or both. They will be able to enter a length (in days) to list the item, upload photos, categorize, set the buynow price (and bidding reserve), enter item location, provide a description, and purchase listing enhancements like bold, italic, highlighted, and/or pay to feature their listing. Their item will be active until the time expires or until the quantity is sold out; whichever comes first. While the item is active, other site Users will be able to either bid on the item, or chose to simply 'buy it now' according to the seller's settings on the item. After a User has won the item(s) with bids, or when they are checking out with buyitnow, the Buyer will be asked for shipping information, any item configuration options, and directed to pay the seller. Payments are made directly to the seller. After a successful sale, and according to your admin settings, a sales commission invoice will be generated and sent to the seller of the item. For example, if you have set the sales commission at 10%, and the seller sells an item for $100, the seller will be billed $10 after a successful sale. Or, of course, you could opt to not charge commissions at all, and instead charge a pre-paid listing fee; the point is that as the admin it is your choice on how, or if, to monetize PBAY.

Second, I'll just describe briefly that as the admin, you can completely turn OFF the bidding features, the time expiration features, and listing enhancements features. With the bidding features and/or time expiration features turned OFF, this converts the business model away from 'virtual garage sale' where users are selling random items collecting dust in their basements, and more into a 'virtual mall' with various merchants, products, and store fronts. Each store has their own cart system, the ability to create their own coupons, and their own store front to list as many products that they want (or that you as the admin want to allow them)! Just like in the first example, you can charge your merchants sales commission, pre-paid listing fees, both, or none at all! Just for fun, we'll take the example of the Pizza Shop from our other Store plugin's description; well, just imagine taking that example of a singular pizza shop, and instead, with PBAY, open the flood gates to have unlimited pizza shops all selling their pizzas on your site! That's a lot of pizzas my friend.

Also, PBAY comes packaged with our Cart module which includes the ability for Users to earn affiliate commissions on referred sales and/or membership referrals, as well as the ability for you (the admin) to create invoices for Users on the fly.

Perhaps the best thing to do is play around with the live demo here:
