Payment process

The default process is designed for sign-up, listing, buyers' and seller fees if specified under the "Fees" section, to be paid by the buyer and seller to the admin through the admin's chosen payment gateway. The buyer pays the seller direct for the winning bid amount plus shipping costs. 

The "Superadmin Receives All Payments" option is designed for sign-up, listing fees and buyers' fees plus the value of the winning bid plus shipping to be paid to the admin through the admin specified payment gateway. The admin then pays the seller by bank transfer the value of the winning bid plus shipping, minus the Final Price Fee (if specified).

Allow Or Disallow Timezone Selection On User Registration Form. The options are to let users choose a timezone on the registration page. If you choose to hide the timezone selection, on registration the user will be assigned the default timezone  (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : London, Belfast. The timezone field can be changed by the user in the auction site > My Control Panel > Edit your personal profile.

There are further fields you may choose to display in the registration page which you can switch on or off. See Admin Portal > Users > User registration page.
