An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange.

There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price.

What is the best way to find police and foreclosure auctions online?
Q. I'm getting my licenses in about 2-3 three weeks and would like to see what options I have. I want a decent car but most dealerships and private sellers around here are a little to expensive. I have heard a lot about these auctions and the deals people get, but I have been unsuccessful finding info about them online. If anyone knows of a site that would have info about the auctions and cars being sold in and around Atlanta, Georgia let me know.

How are fees charged by ebay and paypal for penny auctions?
Q. Ebay normally takes something like a 9% final value fee and I think paypal takes 3%-4% of whatever goes into your paypal account. How do they handle penny auctions? Do you get like 0.4 cents or how does that work?
Asked by Chicagodudeman Chicago - Sun May 23 23:07:55 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Are you doing it as an auction or a Buy It Now? Also, some listing fees vary by category. eBay Final Value Fees do not kick in until the price is at $0.06. So if it is an auction you will not be charged anything by eBay. PayPal will only charge the $0.30 transaction fee, which will be implemented against your PayPal account once the buyer has remitted payment (the 2.9% additional charge by PayPal would not apply in this case). The $0.29 you then owe PayPal (because you only received $0.01 from the buyer and PayPal charges $0.30) will then be taken by PayPal from whatever backup funding source you have associated with your PayPal account (i.e. bank account, credit card). If it is a Buy It Now, eBay will charge you $0.50 for listing and… [cont.]
