Ok, so I'm teaching myself how to build a website because I'm starting my own business. I want to create a much smaller version of ebay. My question is, being a beginner, is it insane to even think I can build of website like this? I am on a very tight budget and want to save my money for advertising, etc. Any input would be appreciated.

It is not insane to think you can build a site like this. It is, however, insane to think you can do this quickly. You'll need more than just basic design knowledge to get into ecommerce, especially if you're going to handle bidding instead of just regular buying.

Like CaldwellYSR has said, it is doable for a beginner. But it is going to take you a while to get to grips with how to build and manage a site like this.
There is some good free online auction scripts out there which require no development knowledge, but you are still going to have a task getting the usability and functionality right!
