AUCTIONING

1. OVERVIEW OF AUCTIONING The application called AUCTIONNING means a way of selling the products it means “sale in which products are sold to the highest bidder”. This application is developed for the customers for online bidding and purchasing of the products. This site also acts as an open forum where buyers and sellers can come together and exchange their products. The site makes sure that the sellers get a fair deal and buyers get a genuine product Common name for several types of sales where the price is neither set nor arrived at by negotiation, but is discovered through the process of competitive and open bidding. The two major types of auction are (1) Forward auction in which several buyers bid for one seller's good(s). (2) Reverse auction in which several sellers bid for one buyer's order. An auction is complete (and a binding contract is created) when a bid is accepted by the seller or the buyer (as the case may be). The internet age has transformed auction into a truly open process in which thousands of goods (from books to ships) and services (from air travel to legal advice) may be offered for bidding by anyone from anywhere and at any time on websites such as eBay.com. Internet auctions are an important aspect of electronic commerce. The project contains the following main modules 1. Product management. 2. Customer management. 3. management. 4. Bidding process and details. RIIIT Mysore

EXISTING SYSTEM  The Existing system works manually.  Process is too lengthy.  In an existing system customers have to go to the particular place for bidding which leads to high transaction and transportation.  Personal influences are involved.  There may be chances of misplacing the data.

PROPOSED SYSTEM  It is fully automated and online.  It reduces the manual work considerably.  Within a fraction of seconds customer can bid for any product online.  Auctioneer or the bidder gets benefited by this process.  It further can be a new way of importing and exporting.

Auctioning has come up with the feature such as paperless bidding system; it’s accessible to everyone, at any time no matter where they are Reliable validation & checking, Easy online settlement, Can further become a way of import and export.
