Recently, I've put an item in the auction and made the "Mudcut" 70%...

How does payment work in such cases? Does the winning bidder pay the total to Max, and Max sends me a check for 30% of that?

Or does the winner send one check to me, and another to Max?

A couple of people had asked, and I'd been assuming that the first scenerio is correct. But then I thought it best not to assume anything, and ask...

Thanks in advance!
