online auction
Internet bidding event
An online auction is a sale conducted over the internet where bidders compete by submitting progressively higher offers until time expires or no one bids higher.
Sites like eBay popularized the format for consumer goods, while specialized platforms handle art, real estate, and industrial equipment.
I found a vintage guitar at an online auction.
