INTRODUCTION
An online auction project that holds online auctions of various products on a
website and serves sellers and bidders accordingly.
The system is designed to allow users to set up their products for auctions and
bidders to register and bid for various products available for bidding.
Online Auction or the e-auction system project consists of the following parts:
Bidder/ Seller Login: Here the buyer or the product bidder can see a list of
products up for bidding and place his/her bid on the product. This is the seller
module where the seller posts a product up for auctions.
Admin Login: This module is for the administrator who may delete fake or
unwanted ads.
Report generation: Admin gets a report whenever wanted stating various
products up for bidding and various users registered on the website.
However, E-Auction this website is inefficient in a way that the seller doesnt have
all the rights to post any of his/her products for auction. The product must be first
authenticated by the Admin and then passed for Auctioning, This requires
involvement of admin and availability of admin all the time which is nearly
impossible. This process may take some days.

E-Auction
There is always a room for improvement in any software, however efficient the
system may be. The important thing is that the system should be flexible enough
for future modifications. The system has been factored into different modules to
make system adapt to the further changes. Every effort has been made to cover all
user requirements and make it user friendly.
User friendliness: Though the most part of the system is supposed to act in
the background, efforts have been made to make the foreground interaction with
user(owner) as smooth as possible. Also the integration of the existing system with
the project has been kept in mind throughout the development phase.
