A simple auction is a process wherein buyers compete to purchase an item from the seller. Sellers put up a product or service for sale, and multiple buyers bid for the item. The bidder with the highest bid usually is the winner who gets the item.

A reverse auction is the exact opposite of a simple auction.Typically, a reverse auction has one buyer and many sellers,who compete with each other, to get the buyer to purchase their product. Usually, the sellers underbid each other to woo the buyer and the lowest bid wins.

Proxy bidding needs limited manual intervention.The system automatically bids on behalf of the bidder to the maximum bid amount set by the bidder. The maximum bid does not mean the current bid.

Auction sniping is a practice in a timed online auction. A bidder in a timed online auction waits till the end time before entering a bid. The other bidders do not have enough time to counter-bid, allowing the sniper to win the auction, by sneaking in a high bid at the last moment

The anti-sniping feature forbids a bidder from trying to place a high bid towards the end of the auction, so as to ensure that all the bidders get a fair chance and adequate time to bid.

When an individual places a bid at the last minute while the auction is ending, soft close prevents such individuals from entering bidding at the last moment. Let’s say if an auction item ends the bidding process at 9.10 PM, if the bidder bids during the last 2 minutes, the auction item will be extended by 2 minutes 9.12 PM end-time. This bidding process will continue until there is no bid at the last minute, signifying that all bidders have completed, and the auction ends.
