Hi All,

I hope i’m posting this in the right forum section.

I’m developing a site which needs to operate something along the lines of the 37Signals job board. (http://jobs.37signals.com).

I’m having a little difficulty working out the best way to allow users to submit to a channel. Ideally I would like them to create an advert, preview the advert, pay for it and then set it’s status to open or live etc.

But, I know EE requires users to login / register first so I can build that in no problem (although i’d rather not).

The problem is the payment, for now I will use PayPal, How can I get a user to confirm and pay before setting there entry to open?

Has anyone done anything similar?

I have been using the Membrr module but that requires payment before adding an entry.

I asked pretty much the same thing in this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/163048/

Changing the status with Simple Commerce seems to be the main stumbling block.
