I'm asking for your perspective, as the community, regarding to how the classifieds ads website should operate the transactions between the buyer and seller.
Types:
qawzsx, I prefer the first option. I prefer to manage everything in real time.
Security is a must, but cannot limit the things we want.
Programmers must to do everything they knowledge can do, and users also.
I am coding a site like this for Pesetacoin.

My approach is:
- "Buy it now" sales, are processed immediately when buyer click on buy button.
- Auction sales have to be paid after the auction ends, and the buyer has to do it, but when done, the transfer is immediate.
I like things to be done quickly.
But the second approach is not that bad, is just another approach.
