Did you know that you can not only create a classifieds website and an auctions website with Ultimate Web Builder, but also a classifieds & auctions combo website? Your website can allow members to sell items for a set price or put them up for auction and let the highest bid – or lowest bid – win. Lowest bid for when the poster is looking to pay the bidder, for a gig or job for example.
You can build your own craigslist, or Angie’s List. but with even more features.
-Allow other people to sell stuff or just post ads
-Activate ads automatically, require member email activation, or admin approval, optionally basing it on whether the poster is a logged in member.
-Like eBay, you can even set a price for the ads, and a percentage transaction fee when the user makes a sale.
-Optionally charge for photos / videos (including YouTube) added to the ad, and setting the ad as “Featured”, highlighted, or bold – all to stick out the ad.
-Show featured, new, most popular, or highest rated ads in the top and/or footer rows.
-Choose the number of ad columns per row for the directory – you can make it look like a newspaper if you want.
-Members can find classified ads from each category index or the Classifieds Search / Advanced Search Tools.
-If you choose to use Location Menus field type for the states/cities, rather than the text field type, you can also include a Distance Search tool and customize the distance options, as well as whether to display it in km and/or miles.
-Include Social Share Buttons: Facebook Like and Twitter Share (Google+1 has discontinued its services).
-Organize ads into types, categories, and sub categories.
-Customize the ad fields for each ad type.

-Option to charge extra for posting Classified type Auction.
-Option to require credits in the user’s account when they are bidding with the user-to-user payment processing type “Credits”.
-Option to offer “Buy Now” button for posters, so that they can choose a price where the auction item becomes sold automatically.
=Option to use auto bidding, where users can choose a max bid when placing a bid, so that the system can bid automatically for them if their bid gets beat. Set the bid increments, or allow the poster to set it.
-Set the bid days for an auction, or allow the poster to set it.
-Choose to use a preview period, set the preview days, or allow the poster to set it.
