Shopping Mall Software - more than a single seller

Shopping Mall Software, more than a single seller

I would love to integrate a shopping cart to a creative community web site. There are multiple vendors. For example, some guy sells his framed photos, another person sells furniture. I would like to give administrative access to approved new comers and let them put up products. Then, when the products sell, it would pay the seller (maybe each with a paypal account or something), and give us a percentage of the sale to us. Does that make sense? There must be other people doing similar things right. It's essentially like a mall. We give them the tools and the space and create a central spot. They come in and sell their products. Any advice on what software out there we can use? Thanks much.

I'm not sure you'll find a package that takes a percentage off the top. You'll probably have to write one to do that. There are packages that will allow you to be a consignment seller - you take the money and then cut the store owners a check later (typically a month).
