If you really looking forward get pay for developing please just leave a description and demo of plugin and purchase informations!

Unfortunately that doesn't work otherwise it would be the preferred method of requesting payments. Sadly many people choose not to follow the payment link (yet still use the plugin) which it quite irritating for developers and does (in my case anyway) deter me from wanting to make further plugins. I don't wish to rant, this isn't the point of my reply but in my opinion that is just seriously taking advantage of developers time and efforts.

Developers may not be staff members or professional programmers but if they go to the effort of writing a plugin for public use, which requires payment, then it is only common courtesy to make the payment, even if you can gain access to the plugin in advance.

As I personally didn't want to stop writing plugins then I decided to add code to my plugins to expire the plugin if payment wasn't made within x days. This essentially worked as a trial period and stopped my plugin being used for free without permission. This seemed to work well with MyLinks.

I'm still considering whether to have my plugins removed from the admin download for Links SQL/GForum....due to a few reasons really.
