That is why i'm asking if it possible to implement it.

If I have the time I probably can do it also, but it's easier if some else does it :-)

Maybe I'll take a look at it post it on this forum.
Maybe you can add a forumtopic with "Add-ons for JB" ??

yeah..i´m also very interested.. any sites which use the payment module?

I am currently integrating PayPal into jobberbase and will provide the code when finished.

Users please let me know what flow/methods you would like so I can evaluate the options.

Awesome stuff, payment method is the only thing I really need. It would be good to accept paypal and credit cards. And also have the option for several billing settings (Per job, per month, per year)

Cant wait to see what you come up with.

Small minded? I accepted your excuse on the other topic (which you removed for some reason?), but this is insulting. I assume these people have the ability to check for new posts on the forum every now and then, especially in the most common forum area where custom mods are added.

Obviously I wouldn't mind too much if a user would ask if he could get a paypal feature *after* you posted your mod, but these are mostly topics that have gathered dust for quite a while and had no need to be revived.

Since you're selling your 'button', it just makes you seem desperate for buyers, rather than trying to be helpful to the community.

Perhaps if it was a more isolated request, yes. I don't see the point of pasting the same reply on numerous posts, even topics that are months old. Besides that, there was already a more-or-less central topic where this 'upcoming' payment system was being discussed.

Maybe what this forum needs is some cleaning of the old and similar question topics, so there'd be a clean overview of all mods for x.x release in one part and a list of requests that aren't about the same item.

This was the more or less central topic regarding the entire issue, so yes the posting in here isn't a bad thing. That doesn't include all the individual 2-post topics which I'm actually talking about. No sense in bickering on about this stuff though, it'll only get more off-topic.

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion and in reality this forum is not for discussing issues of philosophy. However as you have opened the discussion a response is in order.

I explained quite clearly why I was charging - see the main post - users will be using the module to make money and it is fair to charge for it.

PS> Why use a programmer from and emerging country? Because they have lower standards of living and lower costs? On the basis of your reasoning of 'fairness' you should use them and pay them 1st world rates. If a 1st world programmer did this work from scratch and charged the right rate you would pay in the $100's.

Many leading open-source projects have developed and expanded with huge popularity based on combinations of free and paid components.

jobberbase is the best open-source job board available and will not die.

You all got to be kidding me..the original post started with a valid request which is in interest for all of us and ended up in a lot of BS and multiple replies about what you all think is the right thing to do.....are you serious?.....why not stick to the subject and whoever knows how to do this be so kind to post it and that's it!.
