Module: Allow Users To Register/sell(Like Ebay)


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Is there anyone out there that knows of a module that "transforms" prestashop to a used marketplace. much like ebay.com and Finn.no

 

I want users to be able to register, pay a small fee(or for free) for listing their items on the website and allow them to add their phone number and all to be contacted. Really very much like ebay!=)

 

Thanks!

Hi MadSilence,

If you really want others to sell through your site, including payment handling etc. I don't believe this can be (easily) done. You might then want sort of sub-shops, each with own shop name etc, own carriers, etc. etc. I have never heard of anyone making a module like this, and honestly sounds horrific to make 'on top' of Prestashop. The very base should be different for this...

 

What you could try is a sort of message board, where people can add their 'advertisement' and contact link, but it's more like a notifications wall, no real shops... I can imaginge there are modules which allow this kind of things...

 

My 2 cents,

Pascal

Oh. But you are thinking way to big:) I don't need other shops and carriers at all! In fact I don't even need a cart. Or it will work a little bit different. The only product one can buy is an ad place on the site.

Let me illustrate:

You register at the site

Want to sell a guitar, starts a new add add pictures and all. When its ready you go to cart and buy a space on the site. So the guitar add will come up in your category and listed on the site. Lets say he paid 1 dollar for this add on my site:) someone else browses my site and finds the guitar to his liking. Contacts the customer and they sort out buying and all:)

 

Just like a buy sell in a forum. Just more good looking and no forum ish:)

Hi,

 

Sounds fun, your idea! Never heard of a module doing this though. (Maybe you have something unique here ;-) ) May doing something like allowing to upload a picture or so and then let them buy an advertisement item you offer on your site, say for a week, a month etc. It still needs manual handling to move the picture to the right category, etc. Also you need to make the link to their site etc. To automate this, I'm afraid you need to start programming yourself.

 

Anyone heard of similar functionality in a module??

Hmm I think im a little unclear still:D A link to their site?=) what site?

 

If you look at finn.no or craigslist.com- Here private persons can list what they want to sell. This is what I need=) a site for private persons to list items to sell=) the people pay for an item listing =)

 

Thanks!
