Question on money exchange

by solomos
4 replies
Hi
i m creating a website that will host freelancers that will provide their services to potential customers. Now i m looking for a solution on how i will be able to get a commission out of the transaction between a client and a freelancer service provider. Think something like fiverr does that takes a commission of 1$ every 5$.
What i m looking for is if there is a service that already does this for me automatically, like paypal or moneybookers etc and if there is anything else i should be aware about it. If not how can i do it?

Any advice/help appreciate it

    For me I would set up a deal with the freelancer to post hhis offer, and you can make a simple paypal button to complete the transaction on your end and then pay the rest of the money to the freelancer. But to make it really easy, get a web designer to make a back office that can automatically distribute the money through a merchant service and set up the purchase account for each freelancer automatically. I am not into programming so this is way beyond my expertise.

      Great idea!

    Set a percentage for your self and charge the service fees to the freelancers/customers. This can be done automatically through programming.

    You're talking about sites like oDesk/Elance...?

    You may have to pay some money to get a developer to do this for you. Sounds like a pretty complicated website you're developing!
