As the name suggests, net auctions are auctions that are conducted over the
Internet. These auctions are places where you sell items to the highest bidder. It
works just as a real auction. A product is showcased to the audience and its
features and benefits are spelled out. Then a minimum bid is marked. People who
are desirous of laying their hands on this product are supposed to bid at an
amount higher than this minimum bid. The auction then sells over the product to
the highest bidder when the bidding time is over.
You could very well become a member of an auction site and buy and sell
products for a profit. The profit comes in as the bidders will bid for sums higher
than what you bought the product for. Here you need to have a discerning eye. If
you are discerning about the product you purchase, you will have bought a
product that has a good selling potential, which means you will be able to turn it
over for a good profit.
There are many online auction sites nowadays because this genre of home
business has become really popular. eBay (http://www.ebay.com/) can be
classified as one too. Some other popular auction sites are:-
WeBidz (http://www.webidz.com/)
EBid (http://www.ebid.net/)
uBid (http://www.uBid.com/)
CQout (http://www.cqout.com/)
Shop Goodwill (http://www.shopgoodwill.com/)
Note that some of these sites cater to particular niches of products or are
available only in a particular geographical area. Do some research on the sites
before you decide which of them you want to go ahead with.
The online auction sites are highly secure sites and they might need approval
before allowing you to join as a member. But this is a good thing because you can
be sure your interests won‟t be compromised on the site too. The payment is
usually prompt, but some might pay at the end of the month for the products
sold, subtracting their cut from the sale.
