A powerful and fully customizable marketplace solution for your web site. It has been written using PHP, and fully supports database engine built using MySQL.
What makes ILance Different?
ILance is the only enterprise ready marketplace solution that offers both service and product marketplace environments. You can launch a marketplace to let your members sell their products or let buyers post projects and let professionals bid on their requests. Whatever your members do, you will earn revenue no matter what. That's the beauty of running a marketplace.
ILance is the only marketplace solution that allows the site owner to enable or disable the integrated Escrow management functionality now available!
The programming code in ILance is PHP and offers an exclusive object oriented PHP framework built from the ground up that offers everything your developers will need to extend your marketplace (see our add-on products that were built on the ILance Framework here). We enjoy promoting a fully featured 100% template driven framework where the designer and programmer can work seamlessly together without affecting each others work or getting in each other's hair
ILance is the professional solution for small, medium and large web sites. It's great for internet startups also -- (see how ILance helped DoMyStuff.com gain attention from major media (Fox news). Watch YouTube Video

Thanks for your kind words. However where do you get that figure of $650? That's not the price. Here is our price list. Furthermore, from my post above we are also offering an additional 10% off to namepros members only. This offering is only posted on namepros. Nowhere else. If you are prepared to run a profitable business you will need to understand that it does take money to earn money. That is unless you have thousands of free hours to craft your own and don't need to work to earn a living.
ILance Add-ons are mini-products developed for the popular ILance framework and they are priced very low and competitively. The point here is that ILance offers PHP developers and designers the ability to integrate any form of add-on to the ILance framework via consistant platform as discussed in full here.
ILance offers everything you would need to successfully run an online marktetplace supporting any market niche (web design, arts and crafts, domain name marketplace, programming marketplace, product support similar to ebay, unique bidding, reverse auction, forward auction, digital download delivery of goods when your buyers request customization and active mediashare space so your buyers and sellers and easily communicate in private, private message boards, public message boards and so much more.
ILance has been in development since 2002 and we're very proud to announce it's immediate release with version 3.1.4 now available.
Having a solution pre-built or created from scratch is very unpractical. Something similar or even remotely close to something like ILance would cost you somewhere in the ten's of thousands of dollars easily. Simply put, this is a steal What is more - it's a supported solution. Meaning if you experience any issue you are able to report a bug and team ILance will prepare a patch or fix immediately (depending on the severity of the issue). Mind you we treat every issue with full review, and determine if it is in fact a bug or not. We handle all that for you, you simply run your online business.
PS - ILance was born in 2002. It isn't some script crafted in a few days or few months. This solution is supported and is not sold "As-is" like other competing solutions. We care about the product we are advertising and selling and have hundreds of customers that have purchased the ILance solution since 2002 and have many testimoinals for your review.
And with the exclusive namepros discount as mentioned above, you save even more. I've been a member at namepros for quite some time and this gives myself on behalf of ILance a chance to give back to the community in the form of a clear savings for this holiday season
If you have any concerns, questions, comments, please private message me or simply discuss your thoughts and I'll do my best to answer in full detail.
Here is a screenshot of what the main marketplace menu looks like once installed. Installation usually takes roughly 5-10 minutes and goes through a few questions to get your marketplace up and running very quickly:
Hi,
thanks for reply, i simply got the $650 from 1 x license of $497 plus 1 X license removal of $129.. its not exactly 650 i round it up which is not too far from 650, and that isfor basic 5000 user type.
again, i have seen the demo and not only it looks good, but nice script too.
We provide multiple tiers of product licensing which keeps the solution competitively priced. Over 6 years in the making with thousands of marketplace features, a regular cost for such a solution would easily cost you in excess of $50K. To enable more practical pricing to new businesses and Internet based startups, ILance is priced and built to sell.
If you noticed our starter package provides 5,000 users. That means once you accumulate these many clients you'll have no problem upgrading to the next tier.

And lastly - If you are interested in seeing the admin control panel demo of ILance then please enable your PM in this forum and I'll send you the user/pass and url of the admin section.
This upcoming feature will allow your members to drill down the results from your marketplace in greater detail -- side by side to get the most viewing information possible in your marketplace.
From a developer's point of view this API can be extended to support additional fields and of course more options within the pulldown like "Invite to Bid", "Add to Watchlist" and anything else like "Pre-Bid" etc.
Upcoming version of ILance now provids built-in Radius searching including distance calculation measurements. At present the logic works for USA, Canada and UK. All other countries are currently unsupported. Here's a demonstration of what it looks and feels like:
Sell Your Product - AJAX Category Selector Upgrade Implementation
Update -
We are currently in the process of upgrading the "Sell Your Item" page with an AJAX driven unlimited (nested) category map selector allowing users to quickly find the proper category for listing their auction within.
A demo of this upcoming feature will be available shortly. I will update this thread when further information becomes available!
Update - NamePros April 7th to May 1st exclusive promotion:
Today marks the day of a very large promotional offer we are providing new members. This promotion will be valid from April 7, 2008 to May 1, 2008. The promotion will provide all new NamePros customers only with a gracious 20% off discount on ILance software.
The catch?
There is none. It's just a promotion Just mention to Erin from Sales that you are a Namepros member.
Lock your cost in now. This offer will be ending soon!
If you have any questions feel free to ask here or PM. I will respond to you within 1 to 48 hours.
18 Days left for this promotion! Act fast before it's too late. 20% off the regular price is a HUGE saving. This offer is only valid for namepros members who have more than 20 posts under their account.
Yes there is. In fact, you would not be limited to Adbrite or Adsense, you could use any advertising component desired as all templates are 100% HTML which allows you to cut and paste your promotions in any template you feel necessary.
In terms of a "management" area for "Adbrite" or "Adsense" there is no "spot" in the Admin Control Panel to offer any "control" however as you will have 100% conrol in html templates.
If at some point you need to have PHP be used to perhaps rotate your adverts in ILance that's also possible. For example, ILance uses a template driven framework which html templates contain {tags}. We refer to these as "Template Variables". So it would be possible to create something like {adverts} in the index.html template and then have PHP output the desired javascript or HTML as you need like this:
$adverts = 'xxx';
index.html:
------------------
{adverts}
------------------
And your adverts show without issue. Easy peasy
If you would like more detailed instructions that's no problem. PM me and I'll take care of your requests (or at least advise on how to implement that feature).
One thing you'll enjoy when working with ILance (as a designer or developer) is the the fact that we do not embed PHP code within the HTML templates. We use a model-view-controller which uses a unique template framework (our own) and designers can design the CSS/HTML and the developers simply develop in PHP.
Furthermore, ILance has created a simple Advertising "Add-on" called "LanceAds". You can learn more about LanceAds here. This addon actually integrates itself into the Marketplace. If you review the demo you'll see the advertisement being displayed under the breadcrumb of the layout. These are displaying "LanceAds" adverts which the admin has enabled and the users have created their own campaigns.
An update is nearly complete for this add-on which will use the "Category" description keywords and other aspects of the meta tags and will spit out relevent ads based on region, keywords (tags) and descriptions. This product add-on is priced affordably, at $49. This would be a seperate fee not included in this promotional offer, but it's affordable to the point where if you need it... it's available as well
With only less than 1 week before the next main release of ILance 3.1.5, I would like to introduce a new feature that has been long awaited -- Revision Log.
A listing's revision log will now track any new or updated changes to the auction event listing. If an auction has been posted, and has no bids placed the owner of the auction may update various aspects about his/her listing. After a bid has been placed on the auction event, only limited fields when updating the auction is available.
This will make a big difference in terms of people changing their title's or listing description around and everything about the change will be tracked in the new Revision Log as shown below.
Team ILance and myself look forward to getting this release out to everyone! Thanks for your continued support.
Regards,
Peter
