If this is in fact a legitimate question and not just an attempt to get
traffic on your site (which doesn't work by the way)...
May I recommend:
1) Google.
2) Make it look like a legitimate question.
3) Post your question in a forum more related to your question.

This not something you can get an answer for here, as its just too complex
for anyone to type a response. If you are tryting to design a site just
like that, and asking those type of questions below then you probably need
to learn some of the basics of web site design. Buy a book on asp.net web
development for beginners.
Alibaba and sites like that are nothing but categorised contact lists with
search and a facility for account management. The actual site design is
really fairly simplistic, and you could probably hire someone to build you
this very cheaply, or if you are a competent web developer build this type
of site quite easily.

A web development tool. A specification. The ability to write websites
would be a big plus too.

At the beginning.

Depends on what you develop it with.

Wear a condom whilst developing the site.
