I guess you could think of it in similar terms to a classified ads type site that would charge a user to place an item on the site something like eBay..

Anyone have any suggestions as to which modules or combinations of modules would create this functionality?

Thanks..

I strongly suggest using a high-quality and reliable commercial Drupal solution that will save you lots of time and effort, as it has for me. See https://www.moneyscripts.net/.

I have no affiliation with the vendor.

Thanks..

..for both suggestions..

With the price of the moneyscripts options its not worth trying to recreate the same functionality and it looks like its actively being improved which is great.. So I think that might try them first..
