how to act as the middle man without incurring the fees?

is this possible?

 

we want to offer a variety of services and products from our clients to the public - and charge them a flat £1 fee for each transaction

 

for example - 50 products at £25 - we charge £1 per product sold

 

100 x service A  at £89 - we charge a £1 per service sold

 

now what we are concerned about is the fees paypal would take on each sale (100 x £89 - £8900)

 

when actually we are sending it right to the client minus a £1 fee.

 

is there anyway around this?

 

thanks

You are selling a "service" so you have to pay a fee.

Hi,

 

If you're an advanced coder you could try Adaptive Payments, Chained Payment:

Here is the scenario where the fees are transferred over to the primary receiver.
