A method for on-line commercial transactions (i.e., "electronic commerce" or "e-commerce") creates a community in which the on-line commercial transactions are conducted among registered members. In one embodiment, a new member may be referred by an existing member, and the existing member's account is credited an amount which equals a predetermined percentage of the value of each on-line commercial transaction brought by the new member. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the existing member may cash out his credited earnings, donate the earnings to his designated charity, or instruction disposition by a combination of both. The on-line commercial transaction may be, for example, an on-line auction.
