What Is An Online Auction

Online auctions are a great way to sell items quickly and easily. In this guide, we'll give you everything you need to know about online auctions.

A digital auction  is a bidding and buying process conducted over the internet. Auctions are conducted through an online auction site, which acts as a middleman between buyers and sellers. Auctions can be open to anyone with an internet connection, regardless of location. There are several different types of auctions, which will be covered in more detail below.

The most common type of auction is the live auction. In a live auction, the item being auctioned off is still available for purchase during the proceedings. The time period during which the item is available for purchase is called the "live bidding." The live bidding process begins immediately after the start of the auction and continues until either a bid is placed or the timer runs out. Once live bidding has ended, the winning bidder is announced and given 30 minutes to make payment. If payment isn't made within 30 minutes, then ownership of the item passes to the next highest bidder. 

Auction sites also offer pre-auction bidding, in which bidders are allowed to place bids before an item becomes available for sale. This allows bidders to have a better idea of what they're bidding on and gives them more control over their spending habits. Pre-auction bidding can also help sellers reach their desired price range for an item.
