Cashing in on open source projects the eBay way

The newly launched SourceForge.Net Marketplace promises to provide a familiar environment in which technology professionals can buy and sell support and service for open source software. Familiar because it follows an eBay-alike concept, with sellers being able to set their own pricing levels, determine their own support levels and define their own service types. To further add a little eBay sprinkle into the marketplace mix, there is also a reputation system which gives buyers and sellers the ability to rate the transaction after each and every sale. Interested buyers can even pay the seller by PayPal.
