I'm going to try and have a peer to peer selling site built that is much like Ebay, where users can post a product on the site and buyers can buy the product by clicking on something I like to call a "buy it now button". Once a seller clicks on the buy it now button they have to enter their credit card info and then are charged a percentage of the fee of the product that was bought.

Can Miva incorporate a method such as this? Or is some other software better suited. The reason I ask is that this is not the standard "add item to shopping cart and continue shopping and later going to checkout page" that these shopping cart packages come with.
Any ideas, opinions?
 
Miva Merchant does have a "Buy One Now" button option. Normally, there are two buttons: Add to Basket and Buy It Now. With some tweaking, you can remove the Add To Basket button.

The Buy It Now button effectively adds one to the basket then takes the shopper to the first checkout screen.
