  Hi Raymond,

  golfbuysellmy.com was created using WordPress.org software and is hosted by Bluehost rather than WordPress.com:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Is this the site you wish to create a marketplace on? Or do you want to create a new site hosted on WordPress.com instead?

  Just let me know and we can go from there.

  Hi Raymond,

  We cannot advise you on specific plugins to use here – this forum is for free users on WordPress.com who cannot use plugins on their sites at all, so neither the users in this forum nor those of us on staff have sufficient experience with different plugins to make those types of recommendations.

  The only plugin we can recommend in this case is the one our company makes – the WooCommerce ecommerce plugin, which also includes an add-on you can buy to turn an online store into a vendor marketplace instead.

  Product Vendors

  Please ask in the self-hosted WordPress forums instead – the users there work with the open source version of WordPress daily, and many of them actually develop or contribute to plugins, so if you want different plugin recommendations, that is the best place to go.

  Hi there, please refer to the previous links and information sent by staff in this thread. This isn’t something we can help you with here as your blog is not hosted with WordPress.com.

  Best of luck finding a solution.

  Hi golfbuysellmy,

  The Product Vendors extension @kokkieh mentioned would be your best bet for WooCommerce:

  Product Vendors

  If that doesn’t do what you are looking for, please post to the WordPress.org support forums for more advice about suitable plugins:
