Our software does not have purchasing ability for classifieds listings. We think Ebay defined the classified ad best on their site here:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/formats.html
The classified ad format is mainly to bring buyers and sellers together and the transaction is completed outside the software installation/site. There is functionality within the software that will duplicate this functionality and still provide more protection to the buyer and seller than the open classified format. We suggest using the auction format but use a buy now only auction. The auction listing will have the buy now (or buy me or buy this or get this…or however you want to label it) button and no make bid button. The first person willing to purchase at that one price will click the button and close the auction.
You have complete control of the text used within the system. This allows you to label the auctions buy now only feature as anything you wish. Just change the text where ever it appears to what you are naming your feature. Unless you want to allow classifieds also you only need any of the auction editions of the software to accomplish. After labeling changes if you want to make them there isn't much else to do.
Although it goes against how we define what a classified ad is, there are 3rd party created addons which do allow a classified ad to be purchased using Paypal. Browse the external developer addons site for that and other 3rd party addon functionality:
