Normal Auctions

The normal auction are the similar kind of auction that u have seen so far on the ebay other well known portals. Where bidders try to bid out other bidders with more and bigger bids and win the product. The normal auction portal owner charges some nominal fees and commission on all auction placed by sellers.. It is best place for people selling off new – old and refurbished goods. Our auction portal comes with one more auction attached to normal auction

Fixed Price ('Buy it Now') Auctions.

Buy it Now auctions can work in one of two ways. You can add a Buy it Now button to a normal auction, meaning that buyers can choose either to bid normally or to simply pay the asking price and avoid the whole bidding process. Some sellers, though, now cut out the auction process altogether and simply list all their items at fixed price. This lets you avoid all the complications of the auction format and simply list your items for how much you want them to sell for. Along with this normal auction comes a feature of making offer... With this feature - buyers can make negotiating offers to sellers and can purchase products at cheaper rates...

Penny Auctions

A bidding fee auction, also called a penny auction, is a type of all-pay auction in which participants must pay a non-refundable fee to place a small incremental bid. When time expires, the last participant to have placed a bid wins the item and also pays the final bid price, which is usually significantly lower than the retail price of the item.

How it works
Participants pay a non-refundable fee to purchase bids. Bidding on an auction raises the cost of the item by a fixed amount and typically also extends the deadline of the auction. The game is a brinkmanship game: each successive bid lowers the value of the reward, and the last player to decide to place a bid and lower the value of the reward wins that reward.

Once the auction is over, the auctioneer collects the final cost of the item in addition to the monies already collected by selling bids.

Bids typically cost between 0.10 USD and 1.50 GBP depending on the web site and the number of bids one purchases at a time. Each bid increases the price of the item by 0.01 USD (1¢) or 0.01 GBP (1p), and extends the time of the auction by a few seconds.
