Bringing buyers and sellers together?

My wife has a hobby in which she goes to a website that is specialized for that hobby where buyers and sellers come together. Sellers post items, buyers buy items (via Paypal), and the site is setup on a yearly membership basis for those who wish to sell. Because the site has issues and constantly goes down, my thought is in creating a similar site but charging a per item posting fee.
Is Zencart able to do this?

Re: Bringing buyers and sellers together?

ZenCart is not designed by default to allow others to post items

There is a 3rd party add on for auction that I have not used so am not fully aware of its function that might be sufficient

Re: Bringing buyers and sellers together?

Thank you for replying so quickly!!!
Would you be aware of any other ecommerce platforms that would allow sellers to post (once registered) and buyers to buy?

Kobra, thank you. I'm assuming this would also allow set prices as well as an auction format?
