They do offer an example demo checkout form on the homepage. Not sure if that's what you're looking for though.

I think the point is that it's way easier to use this than something like braintree or stripe that require coding skills. Did you think helium or spacebox were just wacky adverts too?

Agree. Interchange is generally around 1.8% for US merchants, but I agree with tesmar2 that 2.9% will seem a bit high to many merchants.

Braintree seems to offer a good combination of lower prices and a modern API, since you can negotiate the processing rates directly with the banks. But here's the catch: their merchant underwriting process isn't as nice as Stripe's.

No. Using Balanced, the marketplace isn't responsible for submitting any 1099 forms; Balanced is. So if the merchant hasn't hit the $20K/200 trnxs threshold they simply won't receive a 1099 from either the marketplace or Balanced.

Specifically, I'm curious how online marketplaces like Etsy, Taskrabbit, and Airbnb handle this problem.

I believe you can send money to someone using Stripe Connect, but that would require them setting up a separate Stripe account.
