User Group Specific Pricing - Charge different fees to different user groups. You can separate users into groups when they register so that you can charge them differently.

Enhanced "Listing Extras" Fees - Enhanced options for you to charge users to be added to their listings:
Featured Listing Levels (5 levels) - Lets you charge based upon proximity (exposure) of the listing on your site. For example, if you were to place Featured Level 2 listings on the Front Page, you would charge users who select this option more than you would charge users for selecting Featured Level 3 listings that you place on a subcategory page. Charge more for better exposure. Attention Getters (Purchasable as an Addon for Basic and Premier Editions - Attention Getters Addon)
Account Balance System - Allows your users to have a running 'account balance' with your site, from which they can place, renew, and upgrade listings. Users can add money to their balance any time they wish through a link within their "My Account" section of your site. This feature saves your customers time from having to submit their payment details over and over each time they list an item on your site. It also saves you money because it reduces the number of merchant account transaction fees.
Invoice Balance System - Allows your users to accumulate charges which are kept in their account until you as the admin decide to send an invoice for their accumulated charges. This is basically a "put it on my tab" feature that keeps the user from having to submit payment through your merchant account every time they place a listing on your site. It also saves you money because it reduces the number of merchant account transaction fees.
Attention Getters - Charge users extra for using an "attention getter". You can use the default software attention getters or add your own.
Discount Codes - Ability to give users a special discount code that will give them a percentage discount off of the total listing cost during the listing process. You can create and issue as many discount codes as you like. (Purchasable as an Addon for Basic and Premier Editions - Discount Codes Addon)
Subscription Required to View Listings Option - This setting allows users to browse your site's categories but requires them to pay for a subscription in order to view listing details pages.
User Selected Price Plans - Based upon your permission settings, users can select their own pricing scheme when they go to place a listing on your site.
Final Fees - Upon successful completion of an auction, you can charge the 'seller' a percentage fee based upon the 'final' selling price of the item.
