I need to implement a pretty basic marketplace (users transfer money to other users and a fee is collected with every transaction), i've notice that "adaptive payments" is deprecated. What services should I use? Should I implement a managed on-boarding? Should I use adaptive payments? Any other service?

Hi, we're not closing Adaptive Payments completely in the short term, this will take time, but it is going in that direction. At the moment its in limited release, you can still apply for all the Adaptive Payments features and you may get enabled depending on what you need. We will continue to support the product until an alternative is ready.
For some use cases there are alternatives available already e.g. PayOuts API or Express Checkout Parallel Payments, or Reference Transactions/Recurring Payments.
Here some reference, also consider that all of these options, except Parallel Payments, need to be approved before using them:
- Payouts: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/payouts/
- Parallel Payments: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECParallelPayments/?mar...
- Reference Transactions: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECReferenceTxns/?mark=r...
- Recurring Payments: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECRecurringPayments/
