Is there a way to have a Members list? So that Buyers/Webmasters can search through Sellers/Designers to invite specific ones?

Not exactly.

You wouldn't want any or all members showing on a list simply due to the other variables that make up the 'search engine' of ILance.

For example, you have a total of 50 providers. What if 20 of those providers had inactive subscriptions (your marketplace would still allow inactive non-members being able to become invited to open auctions which without an active subscription, cannot bid anyways (waste of time), what if you had another 10 members that have not created their online default profile yet, the buyer wouldn't know anything about that provider, thus most likely not wanting to invite them to their auction.

Few other elements also become clearly visable which really defeats the smart purpose of a solid search engine via ILance specificially the "Search Providers" feature.

However, this is entirely my own thoughts, you might have your own idea in mind (which includes a basic list of names and rating maybe), that others can just invite as they see fit.

This would require custom modification, and can be done, but is not recommended. Simply submit new support ticket and ask a programmer everything you need. We will work with you, and take it from that point on.

Alternatively, you are free to post in the Paid Requests area of the forum, which you might find easier (and most likely more cost effective).
