There is a number of ways auctions are operated. The most common is where you bid for an item (say a house) and the highest bidder wins and gets the item for the amount of money they have bid, if the money is more than the reserve price.There is an auctioner who usually conducts or controls the sale system.
The next type of auction is the reverse auction where you pay to look at the current price of an item. You can then decide to purchase that item if you decide that this is the price you will buy for. The person who is controlling the process sets the initial starting price and how much it will cost to look at the current price. You will have to pay each time you ask to look at the price and then a proportion of you your bid value will be taken off the price of the item until it is either bought or the last person to bid gets the item for $0.00.
One of the most popular at present is a timed auction where you bid for an item inside a time set out by the auctioner. The highest bid at the close of the auction wins the item.
