I still don't see the big problem. If a person would go to your site and order something, you will have to create, ship and support the product. Just like you have to do when they go to someone elses site. Of course, if you don't want to create, ship and support a product, why do you have it?

I do assume you are getting paid for creating, shipping and supporting the product. If not, and it's a burden to you, perhaps you should stop. ;-)

What interests me is how they manage to get in the middle when it comes to paying. How are they getting their share? If they take a credit card number, take their share from the account, then pass the number to you so you take your part, the customers will frown, and someone will think "fraud".
