Electronic auctions take place on the web servers on the same principles as traditional auctions.
There are many types of e-auctions. They can be distinguished according to whether the initiator of the buying auction - then call them buying or selling - then they are selling an e-auction (similar to the art of auctioneering). There are also auction sites that allow trading in the auction by offering to anyone who wants to sell or buy something (like Exchange). Examples of such traditional auction site, thus the virtual stock exchange, the operator of the largest auction site in the world, the company eBay Inc.
An important aspect of e-auctions, whether they are public or private.
- Public e-auctions can participate, anyone who pre-register and undertake to comply with rules of the game on the auction site. These rules are written into the server operator terms and conditions. All virtual stock exchanges are public. Even the traditional stock exchange, which is now largely a virtual one is actually the public - anyone who has money and undertakes to comply with the terms and conditions exchange can trade on it. Either directly or through an intermediary broker. This applies generally to both eBay and the Prague Stock Exchange or NYSE.
- By contrast, sales and purchase auctions in particular organized at the initiative of one particular organization, business or office, therefore, not in practice or mostly non-public. They are only for selected participants to examine and agree on the initiator of the auction. These participants are then invited to e-auction, which takes place "behind closed doors". The auction server can be in those auctions only on the basis of the invitation and assigned access codes.
The above shows that to certain degree, and also a very significant, may differ aplikace that use conventional auctioneers provozovatelé sites such as eBay and their local clones and applications designed for "closed" buying and selling e-auctions. The basic difference lies in the fact that the classical auction sites are aimed at attracting more participants in the auction - offering forward knows who "the" auction will actually participate and be a suitable way to present bids in an auction to take a random site visitors. Conversely, the operator closed the auction system should place greater emphasis on ensuring a secure and trusted environment for participants in these auctions, which is mostly a commercial transaction several higher-order and a much tighter trading conditions.
