Unrelated to the previous post, but still very much in line with the topic of 'Customizing the Payment Feature'.

We have now activated the payment system and it's working as it should... But we have one question related to the payment status of an ad.

When a user goes through the process of submitting an ad, and they then choose a payment method, on that first form, the link is then submitted as a paid link, but set to 'awaiting payment' until the postback is received from paypal and then becomes a true 'paid link'.

Our issue is that we have users who begin this process, select a payment type and proceed to the final page where they are to select their payment type, except they don't go through with it. This ends up creating listings that are set to 'awaiting payment', which then are displayed in the categories and give errors of not being paid when viewed.

Is there a way for us to change the way it works so that instead of there being three different payment checks (Free Link, Awaiting Payment, Paid Link), only have there being 2, Free link and Paid link. Essentially having it so that the link remains a free link until the postback from paypal is received.

I see there was another thread about this posted in the forums some years back but was never properly addressed in a way that resolved it: View The Other Thread Here
