Abstract:
The system AuctionsOnline provides a venue for people to transact business over the
internet. It allows users to sell their products by putting them up for auction so that other
users can bid for them. In addition, the system has an SMS feature which automatically
sends text messages to alert users at appropriate instances.
Registered users can either sell products or bid for them. As a seller, the user is
allowed to put a product up for auction and keep track of products he/she is currently
selling, products he/she has sold, and products he/she has not sold. As a bidder, the user
may search for products, bid, and keep track of products he/she is currently bidding on and
products he/she has won. A user may also give feedback to another user, provided that a
transaction between them occurred. The site also maintains a wishlist, which is a list of
products bidders would like to see in the site.
The system administrator may view past transactions and search through them. The
system administrator also has the ability to modify categories and subcategories.
