  Hi everyone,

  I’m wondering if any wordpress theme will allow one user to post an item for sale and another user can purchase it. The website will get a commission during the transaction. This idea is pretty much like Ebay. Thanks any help will be appreciated!

  You can’t build a site like that on WordPress.com but you could do it at wordpress.ORG. There are auction and estore themes aplenty.

  WordPress.com supports basic PayPal “buy now” buttons, as well as the Ecwid and Shopify options available through the Business plan:

  Sell Online on WordPress.com

  More complicated ecommerce sites like what you’re describing are better suited for a self-hosted WordPress installation, as raincoaster suggested. You can learn more here about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted sites:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Good luck!
