The script doesn't maintain what you would call balances. The user places an ad and pays for it at the same time. Therefore no balance is retained. However, there are coupons that can be created on a per user basis which could represent a balance or just a flat rate discount. The draw back to using this is the need to input a coupon code with every listing they place. If you utilize the discount, it is shared across an entire usergroup. The only other alternative would be to use the membership system. With this you can create a membership that they can buy, or you can create on for them for free. Then they can place up to a pre-specified amount of listings with extras like bold/highlight/featured until the membership runs out of listings or expires.

Default coupon's balance

if the user use the coupon at the checkout of the ads ... is there any way for the user or the admin to know how much left as balance in his coupon ... or it is just finished once he used the coupon regardless if there is any balance left in his coupon or not ????
Thanks

your best bet would be to log into the test site and create some coupons/memberships so you can see first hand exactly how it works.
