  Hi

  Can anyone tell me if there are any widgets or code that can be implemented into my e commerce site relatively easily to allow registered users to sell some of their own products on my site?

  Thanks for any help in advance

  No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/ The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

  Posting of some affiliate links is possible, provided the blog is an actual blog and not just a storefront. Please read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/ closely.

  WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

  The only blogs that can be equipped for ecommerce are those with the $299. per year business upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/ Otherwise you cannot sell anything you do not personally make or any service you do not personally provide.

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.

  See here for Business Plan details WordPress.com Business and here for Ecommerce details http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  As WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

  A self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
