I want users to be able to register and sell their products on my website, i was looking for something like e-bay.

The products will be posted by users and other users will be able to buy them and their contact info will be shared so they can meet up.

I'm sure there must be plenty of PHP scripts that do this for free but I'm wondering if you have tried any of them and how good/bad they are and if you could recommend a specially good one that worked really nice.

Thanks for helping me out, I really don't want to start writing thousands of lines of code and waste weeks on this script if i can get my hands on something already working, tweak it a lil bit and save up some time

  • From a business perspective, you want a site like eBay - where people will create listings.

    My question is, how will this differentiate you from other sites that do the same thing? Bonanza, ebids, quibids, beezid, etc?

    Do you have something insanely magical that people will flock to your site? It can't be 'lower fees' because that's already done.

    Just curious. I would like to see everyone, including you, succeed.

    eBay generate $550,000 revenue per employee, Magento CE if you get it exactly right (which no-one does) tops out at $220,000. Even if you had access to the technology, which you won't, IT is only 5% of business revenue, you would be lost on the other 95%.
