Any advice for an expansion of a Blocs site of a Dutch author?
I like to have registered persons sell their books to others, and, for more expensive books, sell them in an auction. Because it is a foundation, preferably a free version.
Thanks!
Are these PDF or printed books?
Real printed books (and yes, I use Volt CMS)
Maybe https://www.ecwid.com
Problem: using Ecwid or PHP Jabbers (and other auction software) implies that the owners of the books cannot import their books themselves; so I would need a combination of a marketplace (like Fuugo, Markplaats, or Markt.de) and auction software. (like Auctionworks or BiddingOwl) Preferably within Blocs.
Did not find it yet. Hope for any experience here.
I wouldn’t recommend PHP Jabbers anymore - their scripts don’t run on the new php versions and support has stopped - that’s why they are free.

@Bill I saw today they are now free. I guess that explains why.
Well, free… of course I want developers earn money for their work, but f.i. > $ 600 a year (most programs) we cannot afford.
Probably I choose Molotok. What do you think?
I think the only way is to do a trial or give it a go, but I clicked on the demo and the link was dead so that is a worry!
Never heard of selling new books in an auction before but would be interesting to see!
I personally would just stick the books on an eBay page and let them bid there ! and if they want FREE then say you can try the PHP jabbers for now but warn them of the risks of no support and give it a go.
Good luck and please show us your results if you can!
