halacha - Receiving financial benefit to give maaser money



Is there any problem with receiving money in exchange for giving maaser or tzedeka to a particular person.


For example Reuvan has 1000 maaser and Shimon comes to him and says "give the money to levy and I'll give you a 100"


Or if levy himself comes and says "give me the 1000 and I'll give you 100".


Is it permitted to accept the money?


Even further may a person advertise himself that he has a 1000 of maaser to give away and he'll "sell it" to anyone for 100.
