online bid

Internet auction entry

An online bid is an offer to purchase something through an internet platform, typically in an auction or competitive purchasing context.

The term covers everything from eBay auctions to government contract proposals submitted electronically: I placed an online bid for the vintage guitar.

Online bidding allows participation without physical presence, often with automated maximum-bid features.
