Classified Ads

Using PortalProdigy's Exchange feature you can offer your customers, community, members, staff, vendors, and others the opportunity to operate public or private exchanges for the purpose of selling products or services (classified ads), running speakers bureaus, file sharing, audio and video libraries, and other sharing networks. Create public participation exchanges such as resume and job posting boards, vendor operated catalogs, trainer or speakers bureaus, and other visitor operated organization sponsored bazaars or markets.

Define a virtually unlimited number of exchanges which can be public or private, free of charge or on a fee paid basis. Payment for participation can be accepted online using credit cards or other payment options.
