What is the best way to get the word out about a website promotion?

Question

I own an auction website but it has very few members an absolutely no auctions running. There are people looking at it but nobody is signing up because there aren't any listings. And nobody is posting auctions because there are very few members. So I decided to do a promotion where if your auction(s) don't make a profit, you get your listing fees back. What is the best way to get the word out about the promotion?
