So now there are 5 players in this space (that I know of).

Ordered by the launch date of their marketplace offering: WePay, Balanced Payments, Stripe, Paymill, Braintree.

Edit: Added WePay.

Elliott from WePay here - don't mean to turn these comments into a corporate stick-measuring contest, but our API has been able to support this use case since August of 2011.

Sorry Elliot I did not know that. I added WePay to the list.

Just to keep it historically accurate, PayPal's Adaptive Payments API supported marketplace use case since mid 2010.

Disclaimer: I used to work on it in my past life.

To keep this historical accuracy trend going: Balanced has been doing marketplace payment for the likes of Zaarly since early 2011.

But congrats to Braintree on the launch!

(Disclosure: I'm a co-founder of Balanced)

Sorry, I googled your launch date, saw some TC posts from 2012 and didn't know you guys were doing beta before that.

Can't edit it anymore...
