Q&A: How do i create a auction website like ebay?

Question by Danny T: How do i create a auction website like ebay?
I want to open a website where people can buy and sell their used or new products like amazon or ebay. I don’t really understand how to do this. Something about scripts and web hosting. I don’t understand what those mean. Can someone please explain to me how to make this type of website? I’ve tried a few sites like webs.com or wix.com but you can only make normal websites there. They don’t offer to have people buy and sell their goods. Please help! I don’t know how to do this!

The amount of capital you would need to do this is substantial. You need to hire web developers, secure web hosting and comply with a host of regulations. It would be quite expensive to get off the ground.
