An online auction works on the same principle as a regular auction. Sellers display the goods, indicating its nominal value, as a rule, not very high; buyers, competing for the right to purchase the goods, offer their price for which they are ready to buy it. The winner of the auction is the one who offered the most money. Anyone can participate in the online auction.
