Wanting to sell from a Website - Could I do it? How?

I am new to internet marketing and as yet have sold nothing. I am in the research stage.
One of my thoughts would involve selling from a web site. I do not have the skills to make a web site, although I would not be opposed to a program that would allow me to do it myself. One criteria would have to be that I could modify and update the site myself.
My questions are:
Should I do it myself and if so; what are the best tools?
Should I hire it done and if so; by who and how much will it cost?
How much does it cost to maintain a web site?
Any other advise is welcome.

Thanks

start selling stuff you don't use around your house in eBay or other auction sites at not monthly cost, so you can learn how to deal with sales and customers.

Go little by little...

Here are some sites that I would suggest for a beginner :
