E-commerce services represent a constantly growing market, they are a resource and an excellent opportunity for companies that have something valuable to offer to the market. Online auctions are a typology among e-commerce services defined as Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C), that is, regarding commercial transactions between end-users, in which the exchange of only one item at a time generally takes place.
An online auction site is a space where secure and certified commercial transactions take place. Upside-down online auction sites are web spaces, within which users gather to sell and buy products according to the traditional auction model. An item is put up for sale by a user by placing an auction base and more people compete, offering an increasingly high selling price. As in traditional auctions, also in online auction sites, there is, for each item, a deadline for submitting the offer (deadline), at the end of which the user who offered the largest sum wins the item.
Online auctions are really profitable because:
- exploit the flexibility offered by the internet, which increases the opportunities to participate in the auction thanks to the constant operation of the site (24 hours a day);
- extend the pool of potential buyers around the world, exceeding the geographical limits of traditional auctions.
Online auctions are one of the most important e-commerce activities at the moment, also thanks to the high savings margins it offers to the buyer. Starting an online auction business is therefore an investment of safe returns, also because more and more users use online auction sites to make their purchases.
