Splitting up payments to third parties

I'm working on a website that will sell digital downloads from third parties. What I would like to do is have a Paypal "Buy Now" button for each product sold. Clicking this would bring the user through the usual Paypal checkout process. But either as part of that "Buy Now" transaction or later on after our website is notified of the payment by Paypal then a portion of it needs to be sent to the third party seller of that product's Paypal account.

 

So, just to be clear, it would go something like:

 

1. User buys a product for $100

2. 10% goes into my Paypal account.

3. The rest gets delivered to the third party product ownder's Paypal account.

 

I've searched through the documentation and it has all be a bit unclear to me. Any direction you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated!

What you have in mind is not really possible with Website Payments Standard.   The work around would be that all transactions would have to go through your PayPal Account first, then you could use PayPal's Mass Pay feature to send the transaction balance to your 3rd party clients.
