why would you start coding from scratch when there are a lot of ready to use scripts. Try opencart, xcart, magento. They are simple to use and you can always find a nice template to use with those scripts.

Well I already know the basics of html and css. An I have used google there are no good tuts on it, so I asked here. I'm still learning though.
Sorry if I sounded harsh.
You will not be able to code a marketplace using HTML and CSS alone, unless you want it to look and operate like it was 1995 again.
Please let me know an example for a website you are trying to accomplish and i will direct you to a script that you can use....

I am new to BHW & IM in General, but well versed in web dev. I say this b/c I do not know EXACTLY what you mean by marketplace website. If you mean an e-commerce site, the wordpress & woocommerce is the easiest to setup & manage. There are several plugins that extend/customize woocommerce & a few free themes that work with it. You have the best chance of finding a dev that can do more customization (if marketplace site refers to special functionality) by using the wordpress platform. The woocommerce forums are full of devs.

i've built a marketplace site
you need:
html
css
ajax
php
mysql database
sphinxd (recommended)
paypal and amazon payments have a marketplace type function in their APIs
its pretty time consuming and difficult. in addition to the site itself, the users need an admin section, you will need to make yourself an admin section too. you need to sanitize all inputs into the database, tweak and tune the search functionality, category hierarchy and calls to action. then, at the end of all that, you had better have some big bucks to spend on advertising to get it off the ground.
