can CMSB do basic classifieds

Hi steveo,

A basic classifieds system should be no problem for CMS Builder.

The membership plugin doesn't have any billing features, however, that doesn't mean that it won't help you simplify user management when you set up your own billing system.

I'm thinking that a simple system would be to set up one or more Paypal buttons, then wait for emails from Paypal and manually change a user's Section Access > Max Records to allow them to create a certain number of ads depending on how much they've paid. You could also add a list field for Price Plan.

Once you're sure you've got a good system working, the money is rolling in, and you're getting annoyed with the tedium of manually handling your Paypal emails, you can look into getting us to build you some custom software to automate your billing system.

If this is the case which is the best way for images to be uploaded? hopefully not through the WYSIWYG?

I would recommend using a separate upload field.

I hope this helps you get started. Please let us know if you have any questions.
