Does any one know a online shop script ( php - mysql) which support multi providers? I want to run a shop and some providers can login and manage their own products / sales and admin can manage all of them. Providers may create / delete edit own products and can't access to other provider information.

One possibility is to build the site in Magento, which is Open Source and can be installed for free, then create an external application which uses the Magento API, through which each vendor can control his/her own products, stock, orders, etc. The Magento API uses SOAP. Your external application would be built around a SOAP client and would use SOAP calls to perform its various actions. I strongly recommend building this external application in PHP as the native SoapClient will work pretty much seamlessly with Magento SOAP server. |

Ubercart is based on Drupal and it's all permission based and you can fine grain as per your requirement. It is powerful but ligher weight than Magento however learning curve is steep. But I'm not sure whether this type of requirement was kept in mind by the designers of Ubercart. |

Actually CS-Cart Multi Vendor is built for this exact purpose so that you can allow vendors to login and sell their own products similar to a market place like Envato and you charge if you want a small fee for each item sold http://www.cs-cart.com/multivendor.html
