Vincent I have to agree with Trina about wanting to do a website for free... You really do pay for what you get and if you want to be 'effective' you really will need a 'lot' more then 'just a website' :) Here is what I have found to be an effective way of building a website that actually provides most of the tools you will need for a 'very reasonable fee' http://hardgoods.sitesell.com/mumprenuer.html No one can garantee 'your success' however you can certainly follow a step by step guide that will lead you down the right path. Enjoy your journey Delmae

If you want to set up your own auction site, you are going to have to get a web host that has a reliable server, and can handle bandwidth. I recommend HostForWeb.com. They are very affordable, and run a server that can accommedate your needs. You will also need to find the scripts to make your site run. I strongly suggest hiring a professional to install these scripts and databases for you, if you are not sure about what you are doing. It can be very frustrating and time consuming to try and do this type of thing when you're not experienced. A lesson I learned the hard way. You will need a good payment processor and a shopping cart too. You most definitely will not be able to run this type of site from a free hosting provider. They do not allow this type of site. Too much bandwidth. I wish you the best of luck with your venture. Have an awesome day! Trina
