Important caution
 
I would not start with a broad “classifieds” model. That creates moderation problems: scams, illegal goods, disputes, refunds, false claims, unsafe items, and customer complaints.
 
Instead, start with managed sales pages where you approve the content and the seller handles payment directly.
 
Use language like:WikiDemocracy.US provides the web page and hosting. Sellers are responsible for the accuracy of listings, payment processing, delivery, taxes, refunds, and compliance with applicable laws.

Yes, it can work, but make it a supporting service, not the main brand. Your main brand should stay civic/community/public-interest. The strongest sales-page niches are:
Artist sales pages
Fundraising pages
Nonprofit merchandise pages
Local history book/photo sales
Community project support pages
Small business service pages
