To run a big one, such as Ebay for example (Just using the top dog as an example here), you need to be liscensed, as well as have some sort of insurance for big bids (I'd say over 150 bucks). Also, you'll need proof that your auction is legit, which means you may have to get it registered as a buisness. As far as web design goes, if you want a big one, you'll need to purchase a domain name (example: www.indianebay.com), if your not really good with web design, you'll need to get that way, or pay someone to do it professionally. You'll have to have unlimited Bandwith on your site no doubt, my guess would be around 30 dollars a month or so to get the domain, unlimited bandwith, and such. Then, you'll have to keep a close eye on it, make sure no one is trying to sell anything that shouldn't be sold. Find sites that will sponsor your link/banner (I could do a banner for you if ya wanted, I'm good with Photoshop), Cause without clients, you have no auction site.
Now for just a small one, my advice would be.
www.angelfire.com (with popup killer code)
You'll have to find a free code, probally java which will work auctions and such, or you could even do auctions over a message board, but that would be real sloppy, and hard to manage.
You still need a banner/link on several websites in the topic, which in this case would be indian sites, Powwows.com, etc. That way people know about you, and start comming there, and you build yourself a little cult community so to speak.
It would be hard, but possible.
