Hi Guys,

I am creating a trading/selling website. Something similar to ebay/adverts.ie (depending on the below!), though just within a certain market. Basically I want users to be able to sell items on the site.

I have got my hands on PHP Auction Enhanced 2.51 which includes the ability to charge the seller a commision based on what they sell the item for.

I now don't know if the auction site was a way to go, or if this one is the right one. I have noticed other sites like adverts.ie have forums to sell items as apposed to an auction. This still gives the buyers to place bids, but i would need control over collecting payments for the sold items. Whether or not there is a listing fee or sale commision would depends on the script. Maybe I am better off creating something like the sitepoint.com marketplace?

Any advice? Auction vs Forum based sales (so like ebay vs adverts.ie!)...

Thanks
