What is an Online Auction?
Online auctions are a type of auction that takes
place on the internet. They are typically
conducted by an auctioneer who is either an
individual or a company, and they offer items to
be sold to the highest bidder. The bidding
process can vary significantly depending on the
type of auction being conducted. For example, in
some cases, bidders may bid openly against one
another, while in others they may bid
privately. The first online auction was held in
1992 by Sotheby's to provide more access to
buyers and sellers around the world.
