    If you have no skills or experience to apply to the project there's little chance of succeeding competing with the thousands of others experienced with the process.

    It's difficult to get such a marketplace site started ,you need lots of seller offerings to attract buyers, but no one wants to advertise on a site with no buyers. Big successful sites have invested a lot of money into advertising.

    Simpler web projects to start with would include magazine like content sites with articles on subject you have a passion for, that eventually can earn some ad revenue. Wordpress is the industry standard blog platform with lots of customization add-ons available. Google's Blogger.com allows revenue generating ads on their totally free blogs.

    Creating a forum site, perhaps on a free host is a more complicated thing, but member generated content can generate traffic with you just doing administrator work.

    little confused as to why you think the web needs another buying and selling site

    the likes of ebay, gumtree and craigslist amongst others have a decent profile and presence already

    in addition I am aware from my dodgy corner of the world of dozens that have attempted to set up and compete during the last decade - since disappeared

    if you dont have a revolutionary idea that will change the game perhaps youll be best to use your energies elsewhere
