Online auctions are pretty much just what they sound like. A means of bidding on certain items over the Internet. Auctions bid from site to site. Each site does their auctions a little differently. Some sites have no time limit, some have no money limit, some only sell to certain regions, some are worldwide, etc. There are many different types. This is a great way to find cheap items to buy and sell. You can make lots of money from online auctions. There are also many sites you can go on that do online auctions. Most instead of charging initially will take a little bit out of every business transaction you have for using their site.
You can profit in a few different ways from online auctions. Say you bought a collectible item in the 1970s. It is worth much money today if it is in good condition, and at an online auction you will find thousands of people interested in your item. You can make lots of money this way. Another way you could profit is from buying something for cheap of one site and then selling it for more money than you bought it on another site. Yet another way is to buy something cheaply at a store and then sell it for higher than its original price at an online auction. You wouldn't believe the things that some people buy and the prices they buy them at. But hey, that just means more money for you!
The way most online auctions work is that you would get an account on a certain site. You can watch auctions or jump in to bid on them. There is usually a time limit and if you win the auction from the highest bid, you get the product and you pay the party selling it to you through some kind of Internet pay site, check or money order. If you're the one selling the item, the item will go to the auction's highest bidder. Most sites will allow you a time limit, anda base price. Say you have an item that you don't want to sell for less than twenty dollars: most sites will let you set a base of twenty dollars, meaning that bidders cannot bid under this amount. Sometimes you can also set a bid increment. If your bid increment is five dollars and your base bid is twenty, a bidder cannot bid under five dollars more than your base price or under five dollars more than the highest bid.
Online auctions can be a great way to make some fast money. It's almost like gambling, and when you practice and learn the tricks of the trade, you can soon become very successful at winning auctions and making lots of money with online auctions!
