Congratulations on your launch. I like the design and concept. Who is paying for the paypal transaction fees? Does it get added on to buyers total? Good luck and Keep it up.

Thank you!

The PayPal transaction fees are paid by the owner of the video. It usually about 2.9% + $0.30.

So if they are charging only $1 for a video, then they will only get about .68 cents.

This is the beta launch of my latest project, an online marketplace for videos.

It is currently free to use while in Beta. After beta, we are planning on charging a 5%-10% transaction fee per sale.

The current feature set is all the basics to get started: people can upload videos, set a price and then get paid directly to their PayPal account.

In the future, we are working on supporting Stripe and Merchant accounts.

Additionally, coming soon we will have video "channels" which visitors can purchase access to on a recurring basis, allowing people to produce and sell online television shows.

We also just had our first independent feature film uploaded today. Very exciting!

Is Viidya supposed to stand for knowledge (as in Sanskrit) or is it just a play on words video-ya?

Originally it was just a play on "video" but when I saw that it also had this meaning I knew it was the perfect name.
