Here are the main open source marketplace solutions:
- Sharetribe: the most well-known open source solution for marketplaces. Built on Ruby, has a strong community. Perfectly adapted for MVPs and proof-of-concept projects. Can handle sales and services/rentals. Notable platforms using this technology: The Quiver & Studiotime

Demo - Cocorico: specially designed for service & rental platforms, possibly the most powerful solution in that field. Large community for a new project (2nd largest). Built on PHP (Symfony). Perfectly adapted to service & rental marketplaces (AirBNB, BlaBlaCar, Drivy…). Notable platforms using this technology: Find your coach - Koach & WeFarmUp.com

Demo - Mayocat (discounted): specialized in marketplaces that sell goods. Unfortunately the project has been discontinued - they’re looking for anyone that would like to continue working on the project. Built using Java/Angular. Notable projects using this technology: Doble Skateboards & Doolittle
Source code here
No demo found - CloudCommerceFactory: specialized in marketplaces that sell goods. Cannot find where to download the source code (nothing on Github, seemingly no links on their site). Apparently built using ASP.Net. Notable projects using this technology: Mon Garde Manger & MyCréateur
No source code available (if you find it, put it in the comments and I’ll edit my answer)
No public demo available (you must request access) - BeYourMarket (discontinued?): Very promising marketplace solution that handles sales & services/rentals. Apparently discontinued (although there has been a little activity recently on Github). Built using ASP.NET. Haven’t found any platforms using BeYourMarket (not sure the project is complete).

Demo
There are also combinations of Wordpress/Drupal + Plugins that I won’t go into as it can be difficult to know what the licencing terms of the plugins are (the plugins make the marketplace and I’m only listing that which is open source).
