The settings you make here will affect all users in this price plan or placing listing under the price plan when using the attached price plans feature. Within fee-based price plans you have the ability to set category specific price plans. The price plan wide settings you make on this page would have an affect within all categories that do not have a category specific price plan attached to that category or one of their parent categories. You can add, edit and delete category specific costs (not all editions) through the Cateogory Specific Costs admin tool below the Cost Specifics link when editing a fee-based price plan.

After making your changes within this admin tool click the save button at the bottom to save your changes. This will all of the changes you have made in all sections of this admin tool to the database for this price plan except for items in the Price Plan Items section of this page which have their own individual save setting button.

<tip c n>NOTE: If you add a category specific Price Plan to any Price Plan, then the option for the seller to change the category of their current listing will be disabled. This will stop abuse of this system if you happen to have significant differences in listing placement costs from one category to another. Meaning, a user will not be able to list an inexpensive category and then later edit their listing’s category to one with a much higher cost per listing placement.</tip>

This Listing Fee Assessment overrides the charge per listing fee you specified at the main Price Plan 'cost specifics' level.

This Renewal Fee Assessment overrides the listing renewal cost fee you specified at the main Price Plan 'cost specifics' level.

This setting allows you to set a incremental bracket system to determine the cost of a listing. The value entered into the price field of a listing will be compared to the bracket system you create here to determine the cost. These costs will affect listings placed in or under this price plan.

<tip c n>Note that once you begin creating a bracket system you will need to complete that bracket system before leaving that admin tool. If you do so you will leave an incomplete bracket system which will cause errors on the client side. You end a bracket system by choosing "and up" on your last bracket and entering.

There is no way to edit a bracket within a bracket system you have created. If you need to make a change to a bracket system you will need to recreate that whole bracket system as the first value of the next bracket system will delete the previous bracket system.</tip>

Charging by this way sets the charge for placement and renewal based on the durations you enter into this admin tool. The durations you enter here will be the only durations that client will get a choice from when placing a listing in this category and under this price plan. The choice the client makes as duration will determine the cost they have for placement or renewal of that listing. This feature will affect listings placed in or under this price plan.

Note that if you want price plan specific listing durations this is the feature that will accomplish that for you. You could enter all the durations you wish yet enter the same price for each duration.

The main costs for subscription based price plans will be in the subscription costs. Those will be determined in the Subscription Periods admin tool listed just below the Cost Specifics link. The subscription costs will cover the cost of the listing placement and renewal. The listing extras can still have charges if you wish which will be charged on a listing by listing basis when one is placed or renewed.

Choosing yes for this setting will force all of the clients currently live listings to expire when their subscription expires. This allows admins to only allow live listings on the site when a current subscription is active.

Otherwise the subscription price plan has many of the same price plan choices as the fee-based price plans explained above. Any Price Plan Item that has a listing/renewal fee attached will have no effect within subscription based price plans.

This is a setting that allows you to set the maximum number of currently live listings within the site that any user attached to this price plan can have on the site at one time. This only limits the number of live listings at any one time…not the number of listings a client can have on the site at one time. The client can have up to this limit in live listings but have many more that have expired.

This fee overrides the charge per picture fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

This number overrides the number of free pics fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

This setting allows you to charge a final fee to the seller of a successful auction. The amount of the final fee charged is a % of the final closing cost (winning bid) of the auction. This fee is charged for each winning bidder and based on the amount of the winning bid. Within a standard auction that fee is only charged once. For dutch auctions that fee is charged for each winning bidder and winning item. So if a total of 10 items were sold through a dutch auction the seller would be charged ten final fees based on the price paid for each of those items. If 10 items were sold through a standard auction there would still be only one final fee charged based on the winning bid because all 10 items of a standard auction are sold as one.

This setting controls when the above final fees are charged to the client. If you set this to "yes" the final fee charges will accumulate in the cart until the seller needs to pay for another feature on your site. This could be when the client places a new listing, renews a current listing, purchases a storefront subscription, purchases a site subscription or any other cost involved in using your site.

If you set this to "no" the final fee charges will accumulate for a seller until you as the admin run those transactions in the admin tool. The admin can then run these charges manually through the admin tool. But also note that you can only use the Authorize.net AIM payment gateway when this admin setting is set to "no". So when the client places an auction in your site they will be asked for their credit card information at the time of auction placement even if there is no actual placement cost charged or extra feature purchased. This is because the system needs that credit card information to charge the final fee in the clients absence from within the admin tool once the auction has closed. Also note that if there are no other extra features or placement fees at the time of auction placement the system will attempt a $1 transaction through the Authorize.net AIM payment gateway just to verify that the credit card information is good. This $1 fee is not captured so the card is not actually charged this fee but does generate a receipt by the system.

Note that this feature may change from version to version as new features in the cart are added.

Listing Extras allow you to charge the seller over and above the normal cost of the listing placement in order to receive higher exposure for their listing.

This fee overrides the featured listing price and levels fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

This fee overrides the bolding price fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

This fee overrides the better placement fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

This fee overrides the attention getters fee you specified at the main Price Plan cost specifics level.

Within this section are additional aspects of the price plan that can be determined within the category specific price plan. With almost all of these items you can choose which require admin approval before listings of that type or paid by that payment method before those transactions items are displayed or applied. Still other items in this list have specific configurations that can be exposed and edited by clicking the configure button next to it.

• Auction - You can choose to allow buy now auctions or set all auctions to buy now auctions with the auction price plan item configurations panel.
• Images - maximum number of files or images allowed to be attached to a listing
• Listing Renew/Upgrade - Choose to reset the start time of a listing if a listing is renewed. Choose to reset the start and end times when a listing is upgraded to allow those clients full use of an extra feature for the life of their listing.

Other price plans items may appear and be configurable if you have those specific features in your addition.
