Yeah, the shipping issue I hadn't taken into consideration, mainly because what we're allowing our users to sell are digital files, nothing physical, at least for the foreseeable future. But I think it'd be relatively easy to patch in the seller's email address, for something like PayPal - since that's pretty much the only way they identify you. There is nothing like a "Merchant ID" like what authorize.net uses.. although that would be ideal.

But the solution I'm working on will allow users to track their sales, and to map how much they have made for a time period. I haven't spent that much time on that aspect yet; whether it should just be a running total of sales for the particular month, resetting at the end of each; that's probably how I'll do it in the end.

But right now, our main goal is to get these digital products setup in a way that allows users to simply enter the information for the node, upload their files, and start selling. Going to try and keep it pretty simple so we don't have to hold hands, although there will be from the start, I'm sure - at least a little bit...
