The Parties.
You could require that some, or all, of the parties have a "verified PayPal account" to insure that the parties are using their true identities.
Additionally, you could have consumers, and/or credit cardholders, register with you and verify (in the "terms of use") that they are using their true name, date of birth, address, etc., and that they agree to use the service only for lawful purposes, etc..
You may need a license to transmit funds. However, these services could be outsourced (e.g. be paid peer-to-peer with PayPal, Stripe, etc.).
1.Consumer wants to buy a ring from the merchant for $1,000.00.
2. Consumer has $1,000.00 available to purchase the ring with an electronic funds transfer (EFT), online checking, or PayPal account.
3. Consumer wants to get the ring at a discount.

Credit cardholders bid.
AlternativelyOne or more credit cardholders can leave credit card information with you with standing orders.
For example: The credit cardholder may submit "For the next 24 hours, I allow my credit card to be used for any purchase of up to $500.00. I will accept a 10% discount."
So, in this case, any incoming consumer order that matches that range can be filled immediately.
Likewise, a consumer with a reoccurring bill (car payment) can place a standing order and discount amount (e.g. I will pay $775.00 for an $800.00 payment).
