This was in response to the "shop suggestion" for PBv5.


Me:
"14 - Shop/Store (Points System). Quite simple. Have some form of shop and/or points system where you can donate points to people, or from the shop you can purchase items that staff have added there, for example: formatted name (bold, italic, etc).. and much more stuff."


Patrick:
"We already have custom user storage that you can use for shops"


Smangii:
"Shops that include points?"

Me:
"What he said and so can we set it up so people can buy from the shop, donate points and so on?
I will say it just for better explanations: like the other hosts shops.. Anything as good?"


Patrick:
"I would have to speak with you guys some more in terms of *exactly* what you want to be able to do, but we do want to ensure that you can implement complex features like this."

So, in response to Patrick's last quote, what exactly do we want from a shop?
Obviously:


General Users / Staff:
- To be able to donate points.
- Buy items from the shop (bold names etc).
- Withdraw or Deposit to a bank.
- Unlock items by rank or post count.
- Sell items back for half the amount bought for.


Staff Only:

- Add new items.
- Disable items.
- Limit items.
- Change prices of items.
- Set interest rate per daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly basis.

Other:

- Auctions
-- Set minimum bid for item / Buy It Now price.
-- people can bid on auctions



Shop purchase would be automated, so you buy your item(s) and then you get it instantly or almost so. Staff wouldn't manually have to give each user their item(s).



Umm.. ??
