After reading your comment .. I did the educated consumer thing and that is research!, I found myself upon a site the contradicts your comments;

Please understand I was/am looking for a classifieds program [free] to start however scalable. I am not a PHP expert like the others have could or may learn over time.
The application I am looking for must have the ability for links
With that said I am embarrassed to say i started with Noah Classifieds v8. I am by no means endorsing this program because I have received comments about the issues with this program and would NOT recommend this program.
Please elaborate with your evaluation of both auction / classified software?
