Ive seen a premium theme that lets you users create a store within a store.

So each user can have their own marketplace.

Not sure if that is what you are after.

Hi,
first time post here.
Just wondering if anyone here has built, or knows of examples
of peer to peer /marketplaces/ built on the WP platform.
I'm aware of scribu's Posts to Posts plugin, which apparently
can create many-to-many relationships between users, but
obviously that hasn't got e-commerce functionality built in.
So would need extending to work as an e-commerce platform.
I've also searched WooCommerce for plugins which will create
a p2p marketplace, but no results there.
Another avenue I've searched is buddypress, but can't see any
plugin examples of e-commerce functionality.
I'm trying to find existing functionality, because I don't
want to attempt to build it from scratch ( not sure I could ).
thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply Chris,

but this is not what I'm after. I'm after something
which will let users 'buy' direct from other users.
When a 'sale' occurs, the seller's account is debited.

Something like one of the links on this page;

http://p2pmarketplaces.wordpress.com/

e.g. http://www.9flats.com/

except the above doesn't use WP.

There is the Product Vendors extension for WooCommerce:
http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-vendors/ and I'm pretty sure
there are similar extensions for the other eCommerce plugins out there.

Thanks Chris and Coen for your replies.

I hadn't been aware of the product vendors extension before.

From further discussions with the site owner it looks as if
they /do/ want to go down the route of store within a store.

A similar extension, Frontend Submissions, is available for Easy
Digital Downloads, where the main difference from Woo's Product
Vendors, is that in EDD's version vendors do everything on the
frontend, and don't need to see or access the backend.
