Focus on the sellers. Customers have no choice but to shop where the vendors are comfortable selling, so your job is to make your site the best way to sell. Inventory management and updates should be smooth and painless, offer statistical information on views and sales, shipping options, payment processing, and customer service, make the direct contact between sellers and customers easy and incentivize them to close the sale using your platform by making that the easist way to proceed. If both sides are determined to work around you, it's just a losing proposition, so get the one with something to lose on your side!
