Trading in Auction 
Auction is the process of buying and selling goods by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the winning bidder. On ePtoP.com platform, an auction item owner can set a starting price, and specify a given bidding period for buyers to bid. The bidding price always goes bottom-up. Basically, a simple bidding rule is that a buyer with a higher bidding price will become the auction item winner. When the bidding time is end, the winner and the seller will get an email of trade notification. Seller and buyer can communicate with each other, and exchange the auction product and payment.
