1. "RE: ssl certificate"
 
   the problem is that, usually, there is no cgi-bin section unter https://, therefore, an auction can be called trough both http:// and https://

Even if you start under

https://www.yourdomain.com/

as soon as the visitor is relinked to the auction script, he is actually been rerouted out of https://

What you could do is to write and place "statis" html pages such as contact, registering, and so on, under https:// in order to make data transaction secure. But all things the auction script will produce itself are not secure.

You could create an I-Frame setup by creating a 100% size I-Frame into a regular html-page, and display all auction stuff within this I-Frame. But this could also be relatively easy hacked.

SSL is usually good for everything related to sensitive data-transfer. But with high data volume, Server Speed under https:// will dramatically be reduced. For this reason, not even EBAY uses https:// exept for sensitive Sections.
