Creating website something like ebay?

12 years ago

Don't take this the wrong way but your question is like asking " Can someone show me how to build a space ship" ?

ebay is a large company with an army of engineers and developers. Unless you have similar resources you can not duplicate what eBay has.

A more realistic goal might be setting up a basic eCommerce site with auction functionality. There are several auction extensions for Magento and other platforms. Google this "auction software" and you will see lots of options.

Thanks

Just google "ebay clone script" and you will be able to find a general auction based website script you can use.

It won't be near as advanced or customized as ebay but it will give you the ability to set up an out of the box auction website with similarities to ebays functionality.

If you are setting up a serious auction website, you meed to contact an agency that builds websites, and the cost depends on how serious you are grom thousands to millions, so its really not easy to advise you on this without knowing the extent that you want.

But, keep in mind, one dude made ebay at its start, so anything is possible

Hi, you are serious about building a business like eBay. Your best path would be creating a prototype website and writing a business plan. Learn how to write code. There are many online resources. Please note that large website founders and co-founders are good programmers. No company in this earth can give you a bullet proof plan or technology that you can build million dollar business. So, you are dam serious, first devote yourself a few years how to program a website. Only self learning can give you insight how to build a business like eBay does. Read a lots of business books. Go to MIT opencoursewire's business section or similar places. You have to work very hard. It is very daunting task but achievable. Good luck.

Thanks

Sounds like you need professional advice, it is easy to find internet designers but you may want to run your business plan past someone who can guide you.

Thats my advice before looking for a web designer

Thanks

How would your "ebay" differentiate from the real one? What would make people leave the established, trusty website and prefer yours?
These are the questions you should answer first.

Thanks

I can help you. I own a web design and hosting company. I have coders on staff.
I will tell you, you are looking at a pretty big amount of money on a unique, coded website with similar functions to ebay. To have it done right, it could be as much as $25-$50K.

You could go with an existing script, and have it customized to your needs and your unique design for a lot less. - $2k-$5k.

Let me know if I can help.
