  2. Freelancer where clients can post requests for custom work and freelancers can bid on them. Freelancer can set who will pays the sites fees (if any) and also create milestones for payments.
  3. Classifieds for selling licenses, domain name, websites. Again the money and depending on the usergroup permissions can go to admin or directly to seller.
  4. Disputes. Maybe selfish, but I believe that is much better than PayPal resolution center.
  5. Wallet: A separate section holding all Credit/Debits for Users/Freelancers

It lacks a thing for me if I want to earn money from resell products from different websites.

If possible, you should add this module

allow create product categories and product details in each one.

Allow hide real url from the author and mask URL with your own domain (URL), when clicking on the URL, it will redirect to real URL that included referral member id on it, so forum admins can earn money from commissions when someone buy the products.

So, we can resell many products from different websites that they are offering commissions from selling their products.

Thank you for your feedback but seems that you misunderstood the operation way. My Marketplace will not be a products directory/listing or affiliate portal. All products must upload to my site and all payments will goes to site and then sellers can request withdrawals. Something like the way that Envato works. That's why the existment of Disputes section. Also (in case that I'll activate my Helpdesk addon), support will be given to my site (each author will has it's own staff account).

Sure I know that Envato had its own affiliate links but they keep a big percentage of the sales (25%-50% plus a fixed amount) while my income from each sale will be very low (let's say 10%) so I don't have the ability to give commisions to affiliates.

The only doubt that I've is to have the client's payments go directly to seller's PayPal accounts but this way I must disable the disputes section.

It's a complicated site and totally different than other informative marketplacse like (the very nice) yours. To make it easier understandable I'll not have any active forum. Only Threads connected to each product/project/classified etc.

And you run that as a single person? I don't want to give insult, but you expect people to put that much trust in you? What happens if you have an accident? And hopefully you have good lawyers, because you'll be the one that has to decide claims and disputes, because you have the money and have to decide what to do with it.

No... no..., don't worry. You don't insult me at all. Actually this is my main doubt.
Yesterday I've wrote to my best client with whom we're friends now:

Your suggestion on how to operate the marketplace. Currently it works like all other similar sites (eg Envato for selling scripts/themes, Freelance for hiring freelancers etc).
This means that all money goes to admin and freelancers request withdraws over a minimum amount.
Even if it has been tested and works fine, I’ve doubts on using it this way. The reason is simple. Do you think that freelancers will trust a site owner to control their money?
So I’m thinking to modify it (it’s some days work only) and all payments willl goes directly to freelancers’ PayPal.
This is the point that I've stucked and that's why I post a request at TAZ looking for partners. It's not only that I'm a single person. Worst of all 2 months ago I found that I've cancer, so my future is not the best. But I want to operate a site like this. It's a dream of 3 years now when I registerd the domain adminkiosk.com. Unfortunately I lost the renewal as I was hospitalization at that days.

I really hope you can make your dream come true, pal - and sorry to hear about your cancer. I'd just advise not to burden you with the tedious task of clearing payments, especially in your situation. Offer the platform, but let the money flow directly. I just don't have any bright ideas on how to ensure people don't scam you off your share :(
