Clasifieds section busy.. how to earn from it?

I run a forum Vbulletin 3.0.7

It has progressed from a 'hobby site" - to making money from banner ads..

We are noticing that there is a LOT of commerce going on in our classifieds forum.

How can we earn from all those sales but AVOID the hassle of middle-man-ing financial disputes?

Is there a 3rd party that can ADMINISTER the financial / legal / fraud / problems for us...(obviously for a commission..)

I have enough to do to keep the forums civil, without acting cop / fraud detective.. and am happy to pay a 3rd party a 'cut' to take care of that for me..

I have found software available - but no 'service' that "polices" or runs it for you..

Am I asking for something that doesnt exist? (if so, please excuse my ignorance...)

Thanks in advance..

I had thought - if we cant find a service to run the auctions - instead we could charge a FLAT FEE of $10 via PayPal for every new THREAD in the classifieds section. Does anyone know if that is possible? - or know someone that could do a HACK for us to do it?

A hearty POST "NUMERO UNO" THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!! :wave:

Decided it would really p*** people off if I started charging!
