2. Fee-Based Features
   • Flexibility to set up free or fee-based classified ads listings.
   • Administrator has option of whether to use credit card billing or postal billing.
   • An exclusive new Credit Check feature for optional fee-based classified ads systems. Unlike other programs that claim to be able to handle fee-based systems, Credit Check can accept credit card numbers, check them for validity, compare them against a list of stolen credit cards, and then include the credit card numbers in the registration notice that it sends to the administrator.
   • Exclusive ability to handle real-time credit card processing through six different vendors, including Authorize.Net, E-Commerce Exchange, ATS Bank, iBills "TP Basic" account type, PlugnPay, and Planet Payment (which allows customers from outside of the United States to use the Authorize.Net real-time credit card processing system, and which supports over 150 currencies). The system also supports Clickbank and most other vendors via an external form. The system can optionally create and require an access code, and it can optionally require a specific referring URL before it will create this access code. This allows you to earn money from your personals section each day without any manual processing of charges, as the ad fees are automatically deposited into your account.
   • Ability for fee-based systems to store credit card information online. If this is done, the card numbers can be stored either in an unencrypted format (not recommended) or in an encrypted format where they are automatically decrypted on the fly whenever the administrator needs to see this information.
   • Option of charging users for posting ads.
   • Option of charging users for renewing ads.

   • Option of charging users for replying to ads.
   • Support for charging different fees based on whether this is the first ad posted by this registered user, or a subsequent ad.
