       Setting up Ad Seller Pro Quick Start
       This guide applies to the ultimate plan only. Since it includes
       ad placement management options.
       Step 1: Setup Paypal

       sure you have IPN enabled. You can do this by logging into

       If you already have a paypal url you do not need to overwrite
       it.
       Step 2. Enter your PayPal email in Ad Seller Pro Settings
       Log into your forum and go to the admin area. Click Ad Seller
       Pro then select the settings tab.
       Under the "PayPal email address" enter your paypal email address
       to receive payments.
       Then click Save Settings to save the settings
       Step 3. Enable Ad Locations and Membergroup Access
       By default with Ad Seller Pro the adlocations are disabled so
       they will need to be enabled.
       To enable them go to the Ad Seller Pro Locations tab
       Find a location that you want to enable for instance "Overall
       Footer" click on the edit link.
       This will take you to page to edit the location description and
       settings.
       You want to make sure under the Title that Enabled is set to
       enabled.
       The other important part on this page is "Membergroups"
       You want to make sure that all your membergroups that you want
       to see ads be checked.
       We would suggest to keep admin's showing the ads as well to see
       how the placements work the users
       The description is shown on the view ad package detail page for
       buyers. So this can be customized if you wish to better describe
       the ad location.
       Step 4. Add an Advertisement
       As an admin you can also add your own advertisements. In Ad
       Seller Pro click on the "Manage Ads" tab
       Then click on the "Add Ad" tab above the advertisement list.
       This will take you to a page that allows you to setup an
       advertisement.
       The ad type is important we have three ad types supported which
       are Text Ad's, Banner Ad's, Custom Code.
       Choose the type of Ad to setup and enter the ad details.
       Under Locations choose locations that are not disabled and your
       ad will be shown in them
       Click on Add Ad and your advertisement will now be added to Ad
       Seller Pro
       Step 5. Setting up Ad Packages
       If you want to offer people visiting your site an option to buy
       ad space. You will need to setup an ad package.
       Next click on the "Ad Packages" tab inside Ad Seller Pro.
       Then click on the "Add Package" option
       Enter a title for the package, a price, and any package limits
       such as impressions etc, expire days.
       After you have the settings picked out choose which ad locations
       you want to be part of this ad package and click "Add Package"
       The package will then be added and can be accessed either via
       the Advertise link in the menu if enabled or by the Advertise
       Here link in the location if enabled.
