Traditional auctioneers are skilled salespeople and must usually use a gavel and their vocal talents to close a sale in front of a live crowd. Online auctioneers rely more on web graphics and text descriptions, along with the auction site's proxy bidding system to sell their items. Live auctioneers ordinarily sell goods on behalf of other people, whereas online auctioneers normally sell their own own goods. However, eBay auctioneers known as trading assistants have routinely been selling goods on commission for other people for a few years now. Also, independent auction brokers are now auctioning off goods in brick and mortar stores or privately for third parties, but using eBay and other sites to do so.

Consumers place orders over the web, for products and services that are described in a catalog or article on the website, using text and graphics. Customers pay for goods using credit cards through a payment site like PayPal, or StormPay. Or the website processes the credit card purchase directly if they have their own merchant account. E-commerce sites are usually not auction based, but some websites have mixed formats between auction sales and traditional fixed-price selling. The trend in recent years was for established e-commerce sites like Amazon to add auction services to increase their profits, but eBay launched its eBay stores a few years ago, which offered auctioneers an opportunity to sell items with a set price, in an e-commerce store environment. epier (no listing fees, seller pays final value fee) C2C, B2B, B2C enhance interactive (PPC Search Engine Ads - Bid Per Click through, .03 min) B2C, B2B G Government-Auctions-Guide.com (Wholesale, Government, State, Seizure Auctions) B2B, B2C H Half.com (sell by ISBN #, auto image & descriptions, fixed price, no bids) C2C, B2B L Liquidation.com (wholesale & surplus) B2B some C2C ((read our review) M Merchant Account Merchant accounts enable businesses to accept credit cards directly from customers.

The maximum bid is only known to the bidder, and a bidder wins if they have the high bid at the auction end. If a bidder's high bid does not beat all other bids, they don't win the item.
