Ask HN: Payments for marketplace: which platform to choose?

Hi! I'm building an MVP of a marketplace and need to setup payments between users real quick. What should I use? Stripe? PayPal?

PayPal. It's global and optimized for marketplaces (eBay). Don't become the merchant of record, which creates liability. Let your buyer and seller transact with each other directly.

But how do I make a cut then?
