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 do you have to do to get a license to attend car auctions in florida?
Q. I see that there is a car dealer license that you need in florida to sell cars. But is that what you need to go to the car auctions? Or is a separate license needed?
Asked by Julie C - Mon Oct 27 10:10:07 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Julie C, I found a review of several auto auction and government seized web sites. These sites probabaly have a FAQ page to help you. However they cost a small fee to join, but I couldn't find any free resources online. Since the inventory is always changing, your signup fee is probably used to keep the site up to date.

When did the new final value fees for fixed price auctions on eBay come into effect?
Q. I just found out that eBay is now charging different final value fees for fixed price auctions. In the past, these FVFs were the same, regardless of the auction format - fixed price or not. Does anyone know when these changes come into effect? That is very important for me to know. Thanks. It can't be last year in August, because I sold a fixed price item in January, and I was charged the old fee.

A. I think that they came into effect last year in August. There were several horrible changes to ebay at various times in the past year.
