The purpose of an online auction is not to sell, but to bring buyers and sellers together. Online auctions provide a convenient sales channel for individual traders and small companies. Large companies also use auctions to quickly sell goods accumulated in warehouses. Online auctions can be used for test sales to determine initial demand and market price for a new product

Usually, when talking about online auctions, they mean private Internet trading, designated as C2C - Customer-to-Customer, but if the seller is a company, they also use the designation B2C - Business-to-Customer. The seller at an online auction can also be the government (G2C Government-to-Customer model), for example, the US Department of the Treasury sold government bonds at an online auction.

The largest trading platform in the world. eBay was founded on September 4, 1995 in San Jose (California) by programmer Pierre Omidyar.

The main idea of ​​eBay is to provide sellers with an online platform to sell any product. eBay itself acts only as an intermediary in concluding a sales contract between the seller and the buyer. Payment for the goods and their shipment occurs without the participation of eBay. Sellers pay a fee to use the platform, usually consisting of a listing fee and a percentage of the sale price. eBay is free for buyers to use.

Since eBay's profit directly depends on the volume of sales made using this platform, it has fairly liberal conditions. Any goods and services that do not violate the laws of the country in which the corresponding eBay branch is registered and are not blacklisted by eBay are permitted for sale.

The popularity of online auctions is due to several factors:
– the opportunity to buy goods, the variety of which is not limited to the assortment of the retail chain;
- enough low prices compared to the cost of a similar product in stores;
- the opportunity to purchase rare and exclusive goods;
- excitement and satisfaction from concluding a deal.

Among the registered users of online auctions there are not only professional sellers, but also those for whom selling or buying goods on the Internet is analogous to going to commission shop. Russian users give preference to both foreign and domestic online auctions.

The advantage of working with foreign sites is a larger number of participants, and Russian auctions are attractive due to their clear interface and low delivery costs due to the absence of customs expenses.

The most popular foreign online auctions

The most popular platform for buying and selling goods on the Internet is Ebay.com. This is not only the first site of its kind in the world, but also one that currently has the largest audience. In many countries, including Russia, the company has representative websites where you can read translated product descriptions.

Also, one of the oldest and most popular online auctions is the Amazon.com website, where purchases can be made both directly and through intermediaries. The site combines the properties of an auction and a classic online store.

Online auctions specializing in sales are no less successful among Russians. Chinese goods. The most popular Chinese auction site is Taobao.com, which allows you to purchase goods good quality at domestic Chinese prices.

Since the registration process on Taobao.com requires the presence of a number from one of the Chinese mobile operators, and descriptions can only be read with the help of an online translator, a problem arose a large number of intermediary sites.

The most popular Russian online auctions

The leader of the Russian segment of online sales is the Molotok.ru auction. Although the number of registered users is significantly inferior to giants like Ebay, this site in most cases allows you to successfully find the right product by reasonable price, or act as a seller yourself.

In addition to the leading auction, domestic users use the services of such sites as Meshok.ru, Astra24 and 24au.ru. Despite their less popularity, you can find quite exclusive lots on these sites.

Auctions have become widespread in modern world and Russia in this case was no exception. Therefore, in addition to the opportunity to trade at auctions of global significance, you can also choose to trade at local auctions in Russia. This is also a very good opportunity for both beginners and those who want to expand their existing business.

Today, Russian auctions are increasing in number every year. And even if one auction closes, several arise in its place. Therefore, understanding all this diversity is not so easy.
