Hello MCM,

I have a pretty crazy idea that I believe could come true at some point after extensive development.

I want to create a service that allows the website to act as the middleman. So, for example, person 1 sends $50 to the websites. Somehow, the website holds the money (but also takes a 7% charge or some sort of fee) and keeps it ready for the money to be transferred to person 2. Person 2 uploads their files. The website analyzes what the file is, determining the size, filetype, contents overview and then shares this information with person 1. Although this doesn't fully cover the concept of a middleman, it's about as close as you can get. After person 1 confirms that it seems like the file, they money is transferred into person 2's account (not their personal paypal, but their account on the website). They cannot touch this money until person 1 has confirmed that the file is the correct file (or correct username & password, etc). Person 1 has the ability to deny that the files were not the correct or didn't work. Then, a moderator will download the files, inspect them, test them, and then determine if person 1 is not lying. There will hopefully be multiple moderators online at all times if this service jumps off and gains lots of popularity. If anyone has any ideas that could potentially make this a better idea, feel free to PM me or Skype me :)

That's what I've been thinking, but I think it would work if I worked with the right developer(s). Thanks though!

Same, I agree it is an awesome idea, But is impossible(Almost).
Thanks! Hopefully I can get in with the right people :) Know any good devs??

LOL, what if the person just sends a different account. Like the other person think there getting a name like Bob, and in reality gets a name like xxSwagScopee69x. -1 (sorry)
That's why they have the ability to check it and if it doesn't work, the moderator will check them. If it's not the correct account the account will be denied, as well as any funds transferred.

Should definitely be possible, but a large task indeed. For now we have middleman services here on mc-market I guess.

Thanks for believing in the idea!

Glad you think it's interesting. If you wouldn't mind contacting me, maybe we could work out a deal to get this up and running sooner (i.e. I pay you lol).
This is possible for anybody saying that it isn't, it's just a large task but very interesting idea.
Thanks man!
