2BuxMall testing progress

The 2BuxMall has been in testing for about a month now. Store owners are able to set up links to websites and to items they have for sale. Store owners can put PayPal buttons on their Stores and money can also be transferred internally from one user to another. Store owners can customize the Background Image and Colors of their Store. Next week, we'll add the ability for Store owners to put any kind of ads on their Store. All proceeds from these ads will go directly to the Store owners.

The video auction system has been tested. Users have been able to upload videos and auction them off. Other users have been able to Bid on videos and watch them when and if they win the auction.

The ability to buy and sell MP3 songs has been tested. Users have been able to upload MP3s and provide a Title, Description and Price for each one. Other users have been able to buy and download MP3s.

Certain parts of the Level system are being tested. Internally, we are testing a new method to upload files that are larger than 4MB in size. Soon, we'll add the PayPal plumbing so users can get real money into and out of the system. After that is tested, we should be ready to open!

Huge thanks go out to all of our wonderful testers! I hope you all have a great holiday weekend!

What is 2BuxMall?

2BuxMall is a place for videomakers to show what they have for sale. It's a place for fans to support videomakers. Videomakers will make customized Stores where they can show what they have for sale - paintings, CDs, T-Sirts - even PayPal Donate buttons. Videomakers will also be able to sell exclusive videos through an eBay-like bidding system!

Click here to see a demo of what a Store could look like:

Almost everything you see on the page is customizable. You can customize:

  • The background picture

  • The color scheme

  • Whether to show a Module or not

  • Whether a Module is in the left or right column

  • All Module description text

  • All pictures



Here is a list of the Modules that you can put in YOUR Store:

  • About: With one picture and text about you and your store

  • PayPal: A PayPal button to your account with a text description

  • Links: A list of links to anything you want

  • VIDEO: One video (we can host it if you want) with text description, that tells about your store and what you're selling. Basically, it's like your own TV commercial for your own e-store.

  • Pictures: A list of pics of things you are selling, each with text description

  • Custom HTML: Anything you want. Put it in the left column, right column, or in the footer. I have put mine in the footer and have included Google and Amazon ads.



You can put any or all of the above Modules on your page. The only mandatory one is "About" which always goes in the upper left corner.
Soon, you will have a chance to create YOUR OWN store and customize it however you choose. There will be a "Mall Directory" page which will make it easy to find out who has stores in the Mall. Oh, and by the way, this Mall does not charge rent. :)
