And one more format is Dutch Auctions. It allows the seller to offer two or more identical items in the same auction. Bidders can bid for any number from one item up to the total number offered.

In this type of Auctions contains only “adult” items for sale. You must be above 18 years to access this Auctions. It is restricted for children which prevent them from seeing this kind of products.

To bid on these items, the buyer must be fulfilling the following criteria.

$ The buyer must be 18 years old.

$ The buyer must provide the credit card information to eBay. The reason behind this is that anyone who is less than 18 years old can’t get the credit card. So, the restricted all 18 years below from accessing these sections.

$ The buyer must agree that he is accessing restricted access auctions.

On eBay, the restricted auctions are excluded from the main pages. So, if you are a seller using this format then your listing will be harder to find.

It is just like a common auction but the difference is that, in this auctions the details of the bidders are kept secret. Only the seller has right to know the bidders identifications. Following are the reasons behind hiding the bidder identification.


$ To hide the cost of the product, generally many buyers don’t want to show their financial status.
