When you create a package you have to set the package to allow featured ads. Then when the user places an ad they are given the option to make it featured.

You want to give them the option to buy the featured aspect after they have an ad placed? That would involve a bunch of custom code to run them through the checkout again and bill for it.

@Larry
He is saying he wants all the ads to automatically be featured

@ombre
Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of having an ad be featured? I don't understand the logic or the goal here. A featured ad is an option available to allow an ad to stand out from the other ads. If all ads are to be featured, then what is the point of having the option?

He could have a package that is standard, one with highlighted and bold, and one that has all the options. It makes perfect sense, makes it easier for the user, especially if they are new with computers.
