What is an Online Auction? An online auction is
a type of fundraising event that has been around
for many years. It is a form of the silent
auction, where people bid on items using an
online bidding platform. A virtual auction allows
people to donate items and bid on them from the
comfort of their own homes. The primary goal of
an online auction is to raise money for
nonprofits, schools, churches, or other
charitable organizations. Auction websites such
as iConnectX offer free listings for nonprofit
auctions. This allows the nonprofit to post its
event information and photos without paying any
listing fees.
