PHP Shopping Cart Question

The upstart business we are dev'ing a site for wants to set up individual seller accounts and have the money diverted to the individual sellers, and at the same time be able to draw their 10% listing fee to go into their general member fund. Much along the lines of E-Bay.

So far my husband and I (being noobs to the PHP Nuke arena) have only figured out how to have one conglomerated store, and to divert funds through the acting treasurer.

My question is, is there a way to give them what they want in Nuke, or will they eventually have to upgrade to PERL to get all of the functionality they're asking for? I'm clueless... please help if you can.

Thanks,

So what you are saying is, you want individuals to be able to create a 'seller' account.
When they sell something, they get paid for the item less a 10% fee to you for allowing them to have the 'listing'.
It can be done would you would need to hire a developer to do it for you.

Some other scripts (not nuke) work in a similar fashin, such as 'freelancer' type scripts where the webmaster takes a commsion from sales on the site.

An alternative would be to 'sell' each listing so you get paid your fee seperately.

Thank you for responding, gentlemen! I will run this by my husband and he'll research these options further, and I'll let you know how it works out for us!
