An online auction is an auction that takes place over the internet. Online auctions come in many different formats, but the most popular are upward English auctions, downwardly priced Dutch auctions, first-price Vickrey auctions, Vickrey auctions or even a combination of multiple auctions, taking elements of one and forging them with another. The scope and scope of these auctions have been driven by the Internet at a level beyond what initial vendors had anticipated. This is mainly because online auctions break and eliminate the physical limitations of traditional auctions, such as geography, presence, time, space and a small target audience. This influx of accessibility has also facilitated the commission of illegal actions within an auction. In 2002, online auctions were projected to account for 30% of all e-commerce online due to the rapidly expanding popularity of e-commerce form.
Online auctions were conducted even before the launch of the first personal computer web browser, NCSA Mosaic. Instead of users selling items via the Web, instead, they exchanged text-based newsgroups and discussion lists via email. However, the first commercial activity based on the Web in relation to the online auctions that made significant sales began in May of 1995 with the company Onsale. In September of that same year eBay also began to negotiate. Both companies used the upstream offer. The Web offers new advantages such as the use of automated offers through electronic forms, a search engine to quickly find articles and the ability to allow users to view articles by categories.

In the current web environment there are hundreds, if not thousands, of websites dedicated to online auction practices.
