    Hei Folks.

    In case some members didnt know, il post this bit of info so that your site members can get a 'Buy Now' option on their SE Classifieds posting.

    I am in the uk for my paypal but US and other countries may have a similar system. But at least this give you an idea as to what to look for.

    Notice: regular members wishing to use this paypal payment, must have a valid paypal account. Also there is a limit upto 50 items at any one time.
    Business members or regular members with Ebay / Amazon stores will have a stores link anyway.

    Step 1; place a 'Website' question into your classifieds listing creation.
    In my site i have Questions:
    1, Price (currency)
    2, Location (location) ...Optional, this helps with search.
    3, Item is: (new or Pre-Owned) (required)
    4, Buy Now (website) (this is where the paypal buy now link goes)
    5, PayPal / Amazon Merchant I.D. Number. ...(required)

    Step 2;
    sign up or login to payapl. Validate your new account if needed.

    create your 'Buy Now' option. Follow the instructions as below.

    Step 3;

    Create your PayPal advert


    Step 4;

    create your SE Classifieds advert and post the paypal link code into the 'website question'
    when you post advert it should look like this.

    Step5;

    buyers then click on the website link and will be taken to the paypal payment page.

    Hope this help you.

    thanks
    mikel.
