382114 Gumtree ad submission service

Project Brief - The purpose of this online service is to keep ads on top of the Gumtree listings and stay within the Gumtree rules at [login to view URL] - The online service allows subscribers to automatically resubmit their ads on [login to view URL] in any of Gumtree's supported countries and cities - The online service will download an existing ad or several ads (selected by Gumtree reference number) and store it in a database ready for resubmission. - When resubmitting using the service, the following happens: - The subscriber chooses the ad in the database (Premium subscribers only) - The selected ad(s) are deleted (manual or scheduled) from Gumtree - A new, identical ad with a new Gumtree reference number is created - That ad is stored in the database, ready for the next resubmission - The service thus ensures that ads are not duplicated - Non-paying subscribers: - Only allowed one ad - Need to manually log to do their ad resubmission - Can only resubmit an ad once every 2 days - Standard paying subscribers: - Only allowed one ad - Can specify what time of day their ad is resubmitted - Choose what date the ad is resubmitted for the first time - Choose what date the ad is resubmitted for the last time - Only allowed one ad resubmission a day - Premium paying subscribers: - Allowed unlimited ads - Can specify 10 different times per day their chosen ad is resubmitted - Choose what date their chosen ad is resubmitted for the first time - Choose what date their chosen ad is resubmitted for the last time - Allowed 10 resubmissions per day per ad - Non-paying subscribers can be flagged by a system adminstrator: - The flag has 3 states: - Non paying subscriber (default) - Standard subscriber (with expiry date) - Premium subscriber (with expiry date) - On expiry, the subscriber is reverted back to non-paying status - The subscriber's timezone is used, so expiry happens at their 0:00 - Recurring payments to subscribe to this service need to be taken monthly automatically via PayPal after subscription. - User defined subscription fees for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. - This service will need ongoing support and modifications as Gumtree makes changes to their website. This is to be quoted separately to this project. - A downloadable log of all user activity is created. A new log is created on the first of each month. - All intellectual property and code becomes the ownership of Human Touch I.T. and is to be made available to Human Touch I.T. on final payment.
