Can I get your feedback on the best tools to build an auction website with the following features:

The site takes a commission (like 5%) on each transaction
Each user can assign a rating (like 4.5 stars) to his completed transaction,
and comment on the seller's profile.
Accept payments in paypal and credit card

I've been looking into Joomla! and JomSocial but they haven't convinced me much so far.

I have some programming experience in C, Python and Java. If no CMS tools are of use I'd appreaciate if you could tell the best route to take in programming to get the auction site done.
