  1. A Guide to the Functioning of Free Online Auction Sites Auctions are always a fun and exciting affair with people milling around coveted items in a hall and vying with one another to pick up the best ones on display. There is always pressure on the participants to drive forward to win an item. But sadly, this traditional form of auctions is now on a decline, what with the Covid-19 pandemic keeping people locked down. Charities and organizations that depend on auctions for fundraising to keep their projects going have now found an alternative and effective route to move on. For them, the rise of free online auction sites has come as a blessing in disguise.

  2. In keeping with the times, free online auction sites harness the power of the Internet to carry out the complete auction process. Participants visit the sites, check the items on display, and place their bids from any Internet-enabled device at their own leisure and convenience. Bidding in auctions cannot get easier than this. • What then are the benefits of free online auction sites and what do these sites bring to the table. • Affordable process: For charity fundraisers, the lesser the costs of conducting an auction, the more will be their access to much-needed funds. Holding a regular auction comes with a host of expenses that are not applicable on free online auction sites.

  3. Displaying items on the site are not charged from the organizers. The only payment to be made is the fees charged by third-party service providers like payment gateways and costs of transportation of the items to the winning bidders. • Wide and unlimited reach: The Internet goes far beyond geographical borders as participants regardless of their location can place their bids. This enables fundraising on a larger scale than traditional auctions where the bidding is generally limited to people physically present in the premises. However, many organizers choose to keep the bidding restricted to those within the country as international shipping can be quite tricky with many inter-border restrictions on the movement of goods.

  4. No physical movement of goods: Items put up for auction on free online auction sites are all seen on the website without any physical movement. Photographs, often multiple ones for a single item, are on display at the sites and participants can study them at leisure. The goods are kept with the sponsoring and donating merchants and the relevant sources and after the winning bids are finalized, they are directly shipped to the winners.

  5. Time-saving: Auctions on free online auction sites have caught on in a big way, not only because of the lockdown restrictions but also because it saves a lot of time for the participants who do not have to physically commute to the auction halls. This is very convenient too. • These are some of the reasons why free online auction sites have caught on in a big way.
