Online auctions provide a means
in which buyers and sellers can conduct business transactions that would otherwise be impossible, due to geographical factors,
language barriers, and other such problems associated with physical business locations. They allow people to sell things in
smaller quantities, to sell items that are unavailable in store location, and also to reach target markets that would otherwise
be unavailable to them.
Each type of business transaction
can be done through the use of an online auction, business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and consumer-to-consumer
(C2C). This allows more transactions between buyer and seller in a global market and this increase in transactions stimulates
the economies of both the buyer and the seller. While more sellers are able to reach more buyers, and more buyers are able
to search for what they want, there is more consumer satisfaction
