Eco Lifestyle - Why can't I use the entrepreneur table at the community marketplace?

I voted in the marketplace community lot so I can use the entrepreneur tables to sell my items. Whenever I click the tables the only option available is to view inventory. I can't transfer any items from my sim's inventory to the table inventory, and I can't stock the table since it doesn't have anything in its inventory. The NPCs can use these tables just fine. I know I can get my own table and bring it to this lot, but to me that defeats the purpose of having them available on the marketplace lot type. I've tested this with the selling tables from other packs, as well as the selling painting board from City Living, and they all won't let me interact with them since I don't own the item.
