I am not impressed with Hot Property or mosTree combined with MamboCharge Plus. MamboCharge is VERY cumbersome and not user-friendly. Oh - like users post an item and then have to leave the application, go back to their user menu, go to a MamboCharge screen and find that they owe something and then go pay for it? That's not user-friendly or intuitive. It's not even mildly logical. A customer expects to pay at the point of sale, otherwise you lose a lot of sales.

An open source paid classifieds component? Good luck! I can't even find one that I can buy! And I'm willing to spend a couple of hundred dollars for one.

I keep checking the websites for several professional PHP classifieds scripts and keep posting in their forums begging someone to write bridges that would at least allow their scripts to use the Mambo database and cookies.

This is just plain frustrating.
