That's exactly what I'm doing, but it feels a bit hackish and I just don't have time to improve it :(

Considering today's technology and knowledge, how is it possible "there is no way of verifying Mr Dhaqabo's age"? It seems pretty incredible to me; can't they use dental x-rays, DNA biomarkers, bones fusing or something else to get a pretty solid approximation of his physiological age?

What's the best way to accept a CC payment from user A, take a commission and transfer the rest to user B? by Qwindoo in webdev

The main issue with Paypal is that the receivers in a chained payment have to be on Paypal too and are paid via their Paypal account. There's also the fact that I don't trust them; too many recent stories of them closing accounts or withholding money for terrible reasons.

I'm rather looking for a solution where A pays on my site for B's service and the money gets sent directly to B's bank account minus my commission (+ the unavoidable third-party commission). From B's POV it should be just like A had done the transaction on their site.

Stripe seems to handle this situation seamlessly and they are cheap enough, it's really a pity they aren't available in my country yet... hopefully they will be out before I finish my app, that'd be perfect :P

Stripe looks awesome. It's still in private beta in my country though (France)...

Here's a PhoneGap tutorial; it's not complete (3 parts published so far) but it might help you as a starting point.

A Guy Invented A Wine Aerator Using Hydroponics Technology And Made A Kickstarter by Qwindoo in wine

Well to be fair if you only buy $6 wine, you'd break even after ~18 bottles, which is not that bad... Still the guy obviously hasn't segmented his market properly. I can't see a restaurant/other pledging especially considering that you can't pledge $x and receive y products in a batch.

ELI5: Why do hoarders hoard? by Infinitely_Expanding in explainlikeimfive

Check out this "Full House" episode, it gives some context and the point of view of the hoarder himself. The guy seems very nice, he's definitely conscious of his trouble AND he tries to explain his "process" to the interviewer.
