>>>
1.Payment Collection Options for Sellers
a- PayPal, fully integrated via PayPal chained payments API
b- Collect payment on own
c- Local pickup only

For 1.a. i know that way i can get my 2-4%,
but for 1.b and 1.c , how exactly are we getting our %? as if they choose
to collect payment on their own ,they can contact each other and do the transaction outside of the forum ,and then i louse ,no $ for me...they only using the market place to list.
That is correct. The term for this is leakage. It exists in all online marketplaces. It behooves us and you to do all we can from a feature and service perspective to maximize the value, benefits, and protections a buyer and seller receive via choice 1.a. in order to maximize your transaction fee revenue.

Additionally, you might consider charging listings fees in order to generate revenue from transactions that complete via options 1.b. and 1.c.

Also for 2.a , 2.c , looks like will get the %,
but for 2.d,2.e,2-f how we will get the %,as i don't think i want anyone to
post anything in the market place without paying a % fee to create a listing....
Again, absent a listing fee, you won't generate direct revenue from transaction types d, e, and f. However, you indirectly generate revenue by giving your members a good place for all transaction types and the browsing and buying that occurs as a ancillary result.

Right now, Panjo automatically defaults all listings over $3,000 USD to the seller collecting payment on his/her own. Sellers won't purchase a $20k car via their credit card or PayPal balance. Again, listing fees are the best way to monetize high ticket items. And again, quality high ticket items encourage traffic and browsing that leads to purchases downstream. Panjo does see sellers occasionally list a high ticket item and use the system to collect a down payment of some kind.

Thanks for all these great questions. Given the nature of your questions, you might like to see the way Panjo is configured here:
