  Go to popular auction sites such as Ebay Motors, Auction Fire or Car Auction Bid. Sign up for the site that interests you. Log in and research tutorials on how to set up an auction.

  Go to a classified site like Craigslist, Oodle or Classfieds for Free. Sign up for an account by entering your name and contact information on the registration page. Put up an ad describing your car-listing service in the service section of the classified site.
  
  Include the price of your service. Let the customer know that for the car to get listed, he has to send you details about the car such as the year, make, model, color, ViIN number and mileage. You'll also need digital pictures of the car to put in the auction description. Put your contact information in the ad. Click "Submit" to make the advertisement go live.

  Market your service further by telling your friends and family that you have a car-listing service. Build a one page website for your service using Microsoft Front Page, Dreamweaver or Wordpress. Make your page live on the net by getting free or paid Web hosting. If you have difficulty building the website yourself hire someone to do it from the sites Elance.com or Rentacoder.com.

  Respond to people promptly when they answer your ad. Put up the auction for them and invite them back for more service in the future.
