Hi everyone,

So for the fact that I could not find any viable solution other than coding from scratch, I'm bringing this question.

What are the best solutions for allowing registered users on a site upload and sell digital files after admins approval.

We would also like to add a store credit system where instead of just buying the product individually, each user has an account and a balance where they can deposit money via paypal, moneybookers or whatever.

I need to be able to fully manage the users, all files, how many times each files has sold, how much money is in each users account, etc etc.

Now for the solutions...

I have thought about using a prebuilt CMS/Admin Panel since this is such a large project that I thought it would be easier to just edit an existing one instead of create one from scratch.

Because we don't want to look like amateurs, which we are not and the main target audience will be other designers/developers, it would be best I think not to use a highly popular CMS such as Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal.

I gave some thought to using PyroCMS for its modular approach. Only problem is there aren't many plugs for it so that means extending the CMS with all the features we need would take a long time.

Ok I'll be quite now Any pointing me in the right direction would be awesome!

Thanks for the reference but this isn't really the format I'm looking for. I'm looking for more of a format similar to themeforest.net, buystockdesign.com or brandstack.com
