about the mV edition; If you could please help me to understand the payment aspect a little more I would be appreciative. Lets say I have a vendor who sells ammunition, the price of this ammunition is $10 per box, Lets say I have a 10% commision set up, and the vendor has 200 boxes in stock. So to list the ammo box, vendor pays me a dollar, and then he can list product, what happens when that product is sold, does vendor need to re-pay commision for the other 199 boxes, or better yet, what if a customer buys more than 1 box? Does the vendor need to pay commision on all his inventory upfront, so for his entire stock of 200 boxes, he would have to pay me $200? Its hard for me to see how this can work, obviously not everyone can be made happy, but these are some scenarios I have pondered in my head. I will likely have just 3 or 4 vendors, each with millions of dollars in inventory, (Hell yeah! pay me that commision up front!) and the purpose (at least to me) of having a "mV" edition is so I dont have to do the leg work of listing thousands of products, My "vendors" do that for me, whats more is not only do they do the listing of products, but they handle stocking and shipping, Im just a gateway who receives a percentage commission, also to take it even a step further, having man hours invested in adding products to my store, my vendors will have a vested interest in the success of my store, and will "advertise" my site for me a little on their end, So if I can get this whole commision thing set up correctly, its a win win. I know you are working your fingers to the bone for this, and I love your product, its a virtual dream come true. Have you considered giving you customers (us) an option of different vendor payment methods, and they could choose which one would suit them best? For instance 1 customer may like a subscription option where they pay so much monthly to list whatever products they wish, while another customer pays a set commision for each product before being able to add that product, while a third type can list whatever products they wish, the entire payment goes to the site owner (vB owner, microcart operator, "your" customers) and then we pay the vendors, (which is obviously the option I would choose- ((My vendor lists ammo boxes for $10 and pays me nothing up front, when ammo boxes sell, entire payment including shipping and taxes goes to MY paypal account, I then pay the vendor $9 "and keep my $1 commision" plus shipping and taxes, and they send the ammo box to "My websites customer"))) what do you think?
God you have given alot for me to think about here lol

as it stands with the one im making at the moment it will be a one time fee for adding the product to your store like ebay does.
ebay only charges you to list the product not per product as people would not list there products if they had to pay for per each item within the one product.

lets say i have product 1 and i have 100 to sell the price im selling it for would be $20 each to list my product with ebay would be a one time fee for that one item not for the hole lot and thats how this multi vender system will work.
as its only taking up one space on your store not 200 spaces.
maybe i can add an option that they pay alittle extra to have that item listed on the front page of the store or within the side blocks.
so if i added a new front page block called featured block for paying venders to place there items for an extra cost.
