What is an auction website?
An auction website, is a website that sells something (usually some items, or goods) in a way where the buyers can compete in buying that item. Meaning the potential buyers will place offers or bids, and whoever puts the highest offer for that particular item, gets to buy the item at that price. The idea is very similar to eBay, the most popular auction website.
