Unknown price amount at order creation

hi all, i'm creating a platform where a service provider can be paid via paypal. however, the transaction amount is unknown until the service has been provided. I'm trying to avoid scammers who receive the service and then just never pay , or authorize the payment, which would leave me unable to capture the funds. How am i able to get the authorization and then update the amount and capture the payment after the service is provided? 

 

I'm starting to think it's not possible with the API so i'm wondering how others have handled similar scenarios.
