- Abstract
Online auctions have seen a tremendous transformation as online functions developed over the past decades. This paper aims to explore the background, state quo, and current problems of online auctions through a deep analysis of literature reviews and case studies. Using the examples of Mobile Internet in China and Sotheby’s and Christie’s, we provide insights about online action nowadays and further highlight problems such as incomplete information and low buyer trust. The paper focuses on how to use the anchoring effect to solve the problem of online auctions. We put forward two hypotheses, (1) a Low starting price boosts popularity, and (2) a Reasonable online auction process raises the final transaction price. We discuss the implications of this research with respect to our understanding of the key determinants of consumer behavior and the stakeholders in this increasingly important arena of purchase decisions.
