Allow Merchant accounts to spend their credits before payout #702

Using the Rent My Bike example

Lets say Alice lists a bike for $100 and Bob rents the bike. My listing fee is 10% so $90 needs to be credited to Alice. In this scenario Alice is the Seller and Bob is the Customer.

What if Alice also wanted to be a Customer? Before Alice credits the $90 to her bank account can she spend the money renting a bike?

Based on a conversation on irc

<@ras__>     using orders, which you need to use, confines you to paying out only to the merchants bank account
<@ras__>     We are looking into making those sorts of transfers possible yes

+1, it would be great if this is possible.
