    What is the best way to direct customers to a seller and get commision for your lead. Also, if the customer is going to continue buying a product, what is the best way to keep getting commision per lead.

    I am referring to a random seller, not affiliate or anything.
    Is there any better way than to offer a higher price, ask them to pay you, then pay the seller the lower prices, and deal with shipping and all your self? Is there any way of doing this w.o being the middle man and delaying shipping time?

    If the seller agress to ship to other addresses, is there any way to confirm the integrity of the items he ships?

    Please help.

    you can get in touch with the seller and ask for this.
    most probably, he will agree to do this.

    regarding the integrity, that you can ask the client after he received.

    Set up your own ecommerce site, and each time a sale is made, send a copy of the order to your seller. This way you collect the money and they send out the product. Then, you simply have to forward the money to the seller.

    what stops the seller from taking over the customer when they want the next purchase. The seller can then easily slip in thier contact information to take over the lead?

    Yes, and that's why trust is very important when doing business with someone. You need to come up with an agreement with your seller.

    that is normal in business. if you get a customer directly are you going to advertise your products anywhere ? if you don't have product tracking /selling with you then you can't control future sales with them

    It is better to not letting the customer to interact with the sellers and more over it is advisable you to do the shipping.

    For such kind thing,I think it would be better for you to negotiate with the seller himself.You can make a contract to agree on.
    Then do it according to the agreement,or it may hardly for both of you to get a satisfied consistent.

    Agreed. This is how most affiliate/advertiser relationship works. You usually only get paid for the 1st order. Then after that, the customers go direct to the advertiser/merchant site.

    So, if you want future commissions from your customers, then you need to come up with some kind of solution that works for both you and the seller.
