Classified Ads
Offering your members the ability to buy and sell from each other makes your site truly interactive - especially if you'd like the option of receiving a transaction fee every time someone places an ad in the database!
netVillage classifieds are much more than line item ads in the newspaper. Members can attach multiple images, sounds, and video clips to each ad. Imagine reader response when they can view a digital video demo of a product, a walk-through of a home, or a sound-bite of a piece of music!
Be your own E-Bay! (and control all the transactions yourself!)

A user can maintain an electronic wallet (in the form of 'credits' applied to his account) and use this currency across all community services. In addition to providing the customer the convenience of not having to pull out a credit card for every transaction, it provides a powerful mechanism by which For-Profit systems can charge for additional or premium services.
