Where These Features Stand in Yclas Today (2026)
Two things in this 2022 post no longer apply. Yclas does not offer native Android or iOS apps. Instead, every site is built for phones on the Nova theme, and visitors can add it to their home screen and use it like an app (features page). The free plan is also gone. New sites start with a 15-day free trial, then move to Starter ($69/month, or $19/month for the first 6 months on new sites), Professional ($99/month) or Enterprise ($299/month), as listed on the pricing page.
Everything else announced here is still part of the platform:
| Announced in 2022 | Status in 2026 |
|---|---|
| Internal messaging | Still built in. Buyers and sellers talk on your site without sharing email addresses. |
| Shipping custom field | Still available. Sellers can set a shipping price and also offer local pickup. |
| PayPal email for sellers | Still available, and now one of three ways for sellers to get paid directly. The other two are Stripe Connect and Escrow.com, which holds the buyer's money until the deal is complete. |
| Admin can change a user's password | Still available to admins in the admin panel. |
| Single-ad stats for admins and moderators | Part of the built-in stats, which work alongside the Google Analytics integration. |
| Not in this post | Added since: two-step login (Google Authenticator or SMS) and spam protection with reCAPTCHA, Akismet, blocklists and blocked email domains (features page). |
What PayPal costs your sellers today
If your sellers get paid through PayPal, the fees come out of their sale, not your site's revenue. According to PayPal's US business fee page (last updated 1 October 2026), a domestic PayPal Checkout payment costs 3.49% + $0.49, and "Send/Receive Money for Goods and Services" costs 2.99%. On a $100 item paid through PayPal Checkout, the seller receives about $96.02. Explain this in your site's FAQ so sellers can price for it. Also remind buyers to pay with "Goods & Services" rather than "Friends and Family", because only Goods & Services payments are covered by PayPal's Purchase Protection.
