Highlights of this feature:

• Surrounds the actual price value in the listing with a pre and post currency values like $-USD, ¥-yen, $-NZD, $-AUD, £-GBP, €-EUROS,…etc
• Can be multi-purposed to allow OBO, Call for Price, Make an Offer,….etc
• This features does no currency conversion from one currency to another
• But can provide some currency conversion for the buyer to seller Paypal gateway but this is less of a needed feature as Paypal accepts many more currencies than when this feature was first created.
• Displays where ever price displays
• The first currency that appears in the admin tool will be the "default currency". That means their listing will use that currency unless they manually select one of the others you allow.
• If there is only one currency that will be set by default in all listing placement processes.

Control the currency types that you want to appear in the dropdown selection for the seller to choose from during the listing placement process. This value represents the currency that the seller is willing to accept from the winning bidder of the listing. If there are no currency types entered into this form there will be no currency type displayed for the seller to choose from.

This feature can also be used to allow the seller to ask clients to "make an offer". Or let the seller declare "OBO" (or best offer). Options are limited to your sellers needs. You will add such "options" within the LISTING SETUP > CURRENCY TYPES admin tool. You would add another option within that tool giving it a "currency name", leave the pre-currency field blank, insert the "Call for price", "Make Offer", "OBO",…etc into the post currency field and set the display order value. This will make it an option for your clients to set. If they leave the price value as "0" and make a selection of "Make Offer" as the post currency value "Make Offer" will appear where ever the price is displayed within the system.

<tip c n>Do not confuse the functionality and intent of this section with that of Currency Designation.</tip>

Look within the following admin tool:

LISTING SETUP > CURRENCY TYPES

That admin tool looks like the following:

Within that screenshot you'll see:

1. The currency name as it appears in the admin tool only
2. the precurrency symbol that appears before the price where ever it is displayed
3. the postcurrency symbol/text that appears after the price where ever it is displayed
4. the conversion rate used to convert that currency if the "buyer to seller gateway" feature is used
5. the currency that is accepted at paypal if the one selected isn't.
6. the display order value that's used to determine the display order each currency has within the currency type selection on the client side
7. the delete button to remove that currency
8. the section at the bottom of the form that allows you to add your own currency choice.

The choice the client makes in this configuration affects the pre and post currency display of price all around the software as shown here:

For additional **price field configurations** look to the following support wiki page

If you are having trouble getting currency symbols to display properly on your site insert an html entity, decimal or hex code instead of the symbol directly within the admin tool. We've included a table of common values below but you can always do an Internet search "currency symbols" or "html entities for currency symbols" and you should find something that should work.

To provide an example of use all of these would display the euro symbol:

<p>I will display &euro;<p>
<p>I will display &#8364;<p>
<p>I will display &#x20AC;<p>

Like so:

I will display €

I will display €

I will display €

<tip c w>When experimenting with currency symbols and how they display on the client side you will need to place a new listing after each currency symbol change to see that changes effect or edit a current listing and change to the new currency symbol. When a currency symbol for a specific currency choice is changed in the admin tool that will not affect current listings in the software. When a currency symbol is chosen for a listing that choice is saved with the listing data and is not changed because there is a change to that currency in the admin tool.</tip>

• Make sure you get the proper ascii or html entity codes for the currencies you wish to use. There are a few examples by default in the software and examples at the bottom of the above admin tool
• The "currency choice" for a listing is saved to the listing at the time that listing is created. If you remove/change a currency in this admin tool that change will not be affected in current listings. That change will affect the currency choices for all new listing placements and listing edits made after the admin tool change. To affect a current listing in the system you'll need to edit that listing and save your new currency changes.
