Auction software

Auction software is application software, that can either be deployed on a desktop, on a web server[1][2] or as a smart contract[3] on a blockchain virtual machine. This software is used by auctioneers and participants of online auctions such as eBay. Smart contracts replace an auctioneer's server, if the auctioneer is not trusted.[4]

Online Auction companies have opened up their applications to third party application developers to extend the capabilities and increase revenue. API interfaces were developed using XML which enable third party developers to build applications that use the back-end of the online auction.

Auction websites

Auction websites reside in three categories according to the business model. These are B2B (Business to Business), B2C (Business to Customer), and C2C (Customer to Customer).[5] eBay website serves all three business models.[6][7] SAP Ariba website is dedicated to B2B.[8][9][10]

Auction sniping software

Auction sniping can be done by software on the bidder's computer,[11] or by an online sniping service.[12][13] eBay Germany banned automated sniping services in 2002,[14] but the ban was declared illegal by Berlin's County Court, and revoked.[15]
