paypal and ecommerce

[Ralph Guzman]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't quite understand what you mean by this:

"The problem is, when we allow anyone to post items, you
may go to the site, chose five items to buy but they are all from
different
people. How do you handle the check out?"

Can you rephrase? Are you talking about having an affiliate program?

Looking for opinions as to the best way to handle this.

I am using a php ecommerce product(osCommerce) to create an 'online
yardsale'. This will not be an auction site but items for sale at a
straight price. Currently the site is set up so the user can place
several
things in their basket, check out and the website owner is credited (via
paypal accounts). The problem is, when we allow anyone to post items,
you
may go to the site, chose five items to buy but they are all from
different
people. How do you handle the check out? We don't want them to have to
check out five times so all of the five sellers can have their accounts
credited.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eddie

Hi,

It kind of looks to me that each seller will be paid directly, with no
money being processed by his web site. Like eBay does.. However, you'll be
able to buy 2+ items at one time.

Do you want suggestions on how to set it up for one checkout process, and
several payment destinations?

Sorry I didn't do a better job of describing the situation..

>>It kind of looks to me that each seller will be paid directly, with no
>>money being processed by his web site. Like eBay does.. However, you'll

be

>>able to buy 2+ items at one time.

Yes, the theory would be that we would sit back and let the people get paid
directly but not sure how to handle this. We did suggest, as Mark did, of
having our company get the money and then nightly or so transferring the
money from our account to the sellers' accounts but we would rather have it
work where money goes directly from the buyer to the seller through paypal.

>>Do you want suggestions on how to set it up for one checkout process, and
>>several payment destinations?

Yes! Utilizing what osCommerce already has, we would like to tweak it to
make this possible.

Thanks,
Eddie
