One of the greatest features of this new plugin, is that you can set it up to either have the member receive paypal payments directly for the purchase, or you can set it so that the admin (you) collects all payments and give the author a cut of the sales. Either way, it's a 1-click setup! This can also be changed at any time from the admin settings.

I really like the idea behind this plugin and really was looking forward to using it.
Unfortunately, the thumbnail feature does not work, so your users will upload thumbnails for the items they want to sell, but nobody will be able to see those thumbnails.
Another more minor point is that only US Dollars are supported, so the users have to enter an amount that they want to sell their item for, and that amount must be in US Dollars. When the item is in their profile, it looks like this, for example: 5.00$
I would prefer if the users could choose a currency, and if, it were dollars, it would look like this: $5.00
Support had ups and downs - when I paid on paypal, my redirect link didn't work, but I sent an email about this to Angry Ninjas and they sent me the files very quickly.
Then when I had the problem with the thumbnails, and also a separate login problem that occurred after I installed this, I didn't receive a single response. I eventually solved the login problem myself, and did not receive any response to the thumbnail problem even after one week and after sending many mails to Angry Ninjas, both by email and by the site contact form. They do not have any support forum either.
On the bright side, they did refund my money because I was not satisfied with the product as it is and because of the thumbnail problem.
If they fix the thumbnail problem and add the ability to choose currencies and change the formatting of the currency, I would buy this again and use it, because the rest of the functionality, with linking to paypal to purchase the item, seemed to work okay, although I didn't get around to fully testing it out because of the other issues that I had to deal with first.

It does what it says for 1.5 (doesn't work in 1.0) except show pictures and has some minor styling issues.
It could use management features to manage individual access levels, set maximum storage limits and some other features, then I would say it is worth $15.00 or more, but for now - it is very simpleton.
Would love to see this feature develop more to include:
- Access Levels to adding content to store, not purchasing in store.
- Setting individual storage limits and upload limits
Plus, I could think of some more, but those two would make this rock.
As for it not working in Jomsocial like the previous reviewer stated - well, it doesn't work with Drupal either or any other software, but Community Builder, but then - umm, that is why it is called CB Store and not JomSocial Store.

I bought this for Jomsocial and it didn`t work. On Contacting the provider I was simply sent to the Faq, after asking if he could help further I got no responce. I think I am pretty easy going and understand the problems of developing software but for this guy his attitude is if it dose`nt work `hard shit`, I was left feeling ripped off! Not a guy Joomla should associate itself with.
