  1. Name-your-own-price:

Cu’s decide how much they are willing to pay, an Intermediary tries to match a provider (I.e Buy T - shirt at your own chosen price, pther website finds best price for you?)

Vendors ask partners to place Logis (or banners) on Partner’s site

If Cu click on logo, go to vendor’s site + make a purchase, vend pays commisions to partners (I.e. Quizlet allowing ass for Dubizzle on their website)
