Different sellers for different products (paypal accounts)

Hi,

I'm hosting a site where my friends can sell their stuff.
It is very frustrating to transfer the payments from my paypal account to theirs, so I figured that it would be much more easier if I could set the payments to go to their paypal accounts instead of mine.
So the money from my products would go to my paypal, and the money from Friend1's products would go to his paypal account and so on.

Is this already possible or is there a module for doing this?

Re: Different sellers for different products (paypal accounts)

Doesnt looks like a straighforward change to me
You might have to make a table which will relate each product to the paypal email id so at the confirmation page, the paypal email would be read depending on the product(s) selected
But what about the fact that the customer choosing two product one email belonging to you and another to your friend>?

Re: Different sellers for different products (paypal accounts)

Well, and then which screen to show first for paying paypal? or show both the screens in different windows? So you mean create two split orders?
PS: Can you see the complexities?

Re: Different sellers for different products (paypal accounts)

Yes I see. I think best way to solve that would be to create two split orders.

Re: Different sellers for different products (paypal accounts)

You pay royalties to them.

Well it does require some coding aswell it seems, but thats best succestion I could think off right now.
