The present invention provides an electronically accessible site that
lists a product and associated distributors that distribute the product
to customers. A customer purchases a product from the electronically
accessible site, and during the purchasing process, the customer selects
the distributor he wants to receive the product from. The order is
received by an agent, and transmitted to the selected distributor for
eventual distribution of the product to the customer. In response to the
purchase, the agent and electronically accessible site receive
compensation based on the amount of the purchase.
