I did receive the module from openbay pro to install on 2.3.0.2 as OpenBay Pro.
Now here the case: The originally included module in 2.3.0.2 named Ebay Listings, says that it is used to see you Listings on ebay to be displayed in you OC shop. Meaning exactly the opposite function of OpenBay Pro modul. Just to make clear for the following issue
Even it says that the openbay pro module is included in the Oc 2.3.0.2. If you take this literally, than it is wrong, there is NO Oenbay Pro named module and even more no one even indicating the function of openbay pro....OC listings to be displayed on EBay. If you install now the attached module, which is just a normal procedure if you get it sent by the developer, you ending up with 2!!! installations of the same module. Which, if i am not mistaken, usually should not be possible if the developer is taking care about the version and naming of it.
Anyway, even if you try to uninstall one of it, both get disabled but not removed. so no way out of the problem.
Only naturally that i did approach the support of OpenBay Pro called Welford Media Limited.
And here the icing on the cake:

From what I understand with regards to the issues, you're currently running an OpenCart 2.0 store which has OpenBay Pro installed and installed it manually again, which caused 2 to appear. This is a common issue we've seen with version 2.0 versions of OpenCart, I understand as well that you've removed the second installation and the issue is still appearing.
Now if this is a common problem, why does the developer not take any step to fix the bug or issue.... maybe because he can make extra money with it???!
We are at open source development and one of the rules is fair play.... Is this playing by the rules... i don't think so.
I am aware that i am losing more money with each day the installation is not working and i see many issues with openbay Pro when going through the forum.
however is looks that OpenBay Pro is having a MONOPOLY with this module!
Now I have the choice to pay the 60$ or lose even more...
or is there any professional in the community which can fix the problem for a fair price and/or even develop a competing, even more reliable module with the function of OpenBay Pro.
i don't like to ripped off, just because I have no alternative to go for.
Your comments are welcome... but please no Shitstorm otherwise they might even increase their charges :-(
Thank you for looking into the matter
