Welcome to the "Web Projects" forums. Before you post, make sure you've selected the correct category based on the size of your project (in US dollars), or whether it is a partnership or "looking for work" request instead. Observe the guidelines for this section:
To all thread starters, check your "pm" box for responses, as that's how bidders will be communicating with you mainly using. You can turn on new pm notification by going to "User CP"-> "Edit Options"-> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages".
To respondents, avoid replying to a thread with a short generic response like "pm sent" as much as possible. It is pointless and clutters up the screen.
To respondents, don't reply to a work request with a summary of your resume. If you're not willing to spend the time to at least read the request and respond specifically to the request, then don't reply. The Web Projects forum isn't a place to get your resume/ portfolio posted on as many threads as possible, it's for the direct, human interaction between coder and client. Members who blanket the forums with their resume replies will be treated as spammers and banned.
To all thread starters, please update your thread's prefix to "resolved", when you've found a coder for your project or partnership (or wish to terminate the request). This is so coders don't waste time bidding on an invalid project. To do this, click on the "Edit" button under the first post of the thread, then the "Go Advanced" button. You have 14 days to update your thread's title.
In regards to your request, you would need to be more specific in regards to how dynamic you need this phpBB addon to be, in order to be given a roughly fair estimate or quote.
"An e-bay like system" is a little vague, and can be interpreted different ways.

I think what A.J.'s was trying to make clear to you is that it would probably be easier to just build forum-like features into the custom-made auction site, rather than have to bend an already-made forum around a bunch of auction site features. phpbb was designed to do one thing, and do it well-- the effort it would require to modify and deal with phpbb probably would be more expensive in the long run.
I'd estimate this kind of job (depending on how fancy you wanted it of course) to be anywhere from $1000 to $2000.
@MoganK: I edited the first post to show you a little on what I want. LMK if you are still not understanding.
@Fumigator: Well, I don't know how to make a forum or an auction site so whatever is easier for you guys to code. And cheaper since I don't think the admin can afford it for $1000.
I just realized that you did update it. Sorry for the confusion.
I personally am not a PHP Developer, but for a system similar to what you're asking for, you'd be given rough estimates of a low $XXX to a mid $XXX range for a less dynamic piece, and a high $XXX to a mid $XXXX range for a more optimal and dynamic piece.
