Title of project

Over the years, online auction websites are gaining immense popularity. Online auctions present great opportunities to entrepreneurs and shoppers alike. They offer a common platform where buyers and sellers can bid or sell just about anything. Bidding on the auction websites is convenient and highly cost-effective. Most of the auction portals present automated bidding with a multitude of listing categories and subcategories. They enable buyers and sellers to make transactions in real time. Auction portals are developed on an advanced software solution that makes the e-marketplace secure for bidders and sellers. Moreover, good online auction websites always maintain focus on ease of navigation to maintain optimum website usability. Auction 4 U is committed to making your trading experience safe and fun. Whether you are a buyer or seller, you can rely on this Websites advice and guidelines to help you make informed decisions with confidence and trust. Auction 4 U is a marketplace - a platform where sellers and buyers can meet and trade. Auction 4 U never sees, takes possession of, inspects, or authenticates any of the goods for sale. As a seller, you can make sales quickly in a highly competitive market. Sellers have complete control over their products that are on auction including display of products under specific categories and listings. You can also disclose important product details to ensure transparency and build trust among buyers.

4.OUTPUT OF PROJECT

Electronic payment
Electronic money (also known as e-currency, e-money, electronic cash, electronic currency, digital money, digital cash, digital currency, cyber currency) is money or scrip that is only exchanged electronically. Typically, this involves the use of computer networks, the internet and digital stored value systems. electronic funds transfer (EFT), direct deposit, digital gold currency and virtual currency are all examples of electronic money. Also, it is a collective term for financial cryptography and technologies enabling it.

Physical transfer of Goods

Person to person transfer of Goods or By Courier.

5. PROCESS LOGIC
5.1 DESIGN OVERVIEW: The most creative and challenging phase of the software development is the system design. Design concentrates on the user requirements that we have gathered from previous phases. An analyst must have creativity with experience to develop a proper design to achieve the level of abstraction needed by the user. This phase gives the solution for how the problem should be solved. Design mainly includes the operational and functional behavior of the full-fledged software. Analysis and design are two related phases which works parallel to generate the complete model of the software. After this phase a general agreement is made between the user and developers, which forms the basis of the software development.

5.2 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

A Data flow diagram shows the logical flow of the system. For a system it describes the input (source), output (destination), database (data stores) and procedures (data flows) all in a format that meets the users requirement.

The activities following logical design are the procedure followed in the physical design e.g. producing programs, software, file and a working system. Design specifications instruct the user about what the system should do. To construct data flow diagram, we use: Arrows: an arrow identifies data flow, data in motion. It is a pipeline through which information flows. Circle: circle stands for a process that converts data.

Rounded Rectangle Box: It represents data stores. Square: A square defines a source or destination of the system data.

5.3 DATABASE DESIGN

Database
A database is a collection of inter-related data stored with a minimum of redundancy to server many applications.

Database design objectives

The primary objectives of database design are fast response time to enquire, more information at low cost, control of redundancy, clarity and ease of use, accuracy and fast recovery. The organization of data in a database aims to achieve three major objectives, they are data integration, data integrity and data independence. During the design of the database at most care has been taken to keep up the objectives of the database design.

6. TOOLS/PLATFORMS
An important issue for the development of a project is the selection of suitable front-end and back-end. When we decided to develop the project we went through an extensive study to determine the most suitable platform that suits the needs of the organization as well as
11

helps in development of the project. The aspects of our study included the following factors-

Front-end selection:
1. It must have a graphical user interface that assists employees that are not from IT

background. 2. Scalability and extensibility. 3. Flexibility. 4. Robustness. 5. According to the organization requirement and the culture. 6. Must provide excellent reporting features with good printing support. 7. Platform independent. 8. Easy to debug and maintain. 9. Event driven programming facility. 10. Front end must support some popular back end like SQL Server. According to the above stated features we have selected ASP.NET using C# as the frontend for developing our project.

Back-end Selection:
1. Multiple user support.

2. Efficient data handling. 3. Provide inherent features for security.

12

4. Efficient data retrieval and maintenance. 5. Stored procedures. 6. Popularity. 7. Operating System compatible. 8. Easy to install. 9. Various drivers must be available. 10. Easy to implant with the Front-end. According to above stated features we have selected SQL Server 2005 as the backend. The technical feasibility is frequently the most difficult area encountered at this stage. It is essential that the process of analysis and definition be conducted in parallel with an assessment to technical feasibility. It centers on the existing computer system (hardware, software etc.) and to what extent it can support the proposed system.

7. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH MEMBER

8.LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

Many members have limits placed on their account or on certain categories and items until they confirm certain information or establish
14

a positive selling history. These limits help you become a successful seller, in addition to ensuring a safer experience for all eBay customers. We have 3 types of limits: Account limits

Category limits Item limits

Read below to find out how these limits are applied, how to increase your limits, and how to improve your selling performance. There may be other limits that may apply to your account. Also, keep in mind that registering new accounts or buying and selling with other existing accounts to avoid buying and selling limits or other policy consequences is a violation of Auction 4 u polices. Learn more about the proper use of multiple accounts. Account limits Account limits allow us to review account activity and confirm certain information from the seller. These limits vary by seller and may be increased based on your overall selling activity. How overall account limits work You have a limit on sold items, gross merchandise volume, and active items for sale. If an item sells, it counts toward the limit, but if a listing ends without any sold items, it no longer counts against the limit. You may be able to request a higher account limit by confirming your information, linking your new account to an established account, or contacting us. When you reach a selling limit you'll be given the option to request a limit increase. We may also evaluate your selling activity on a monthly basis and grant a new limit on your account if you qualify. You may also review our seller performance standards. These standards provide sellers an opportunity to examine their selling practices to focus on improving performance. How to find your limits
15

You'll be able to view most of your account-based limits in My Auction 4 u. Click My Auction 4 u at the top of most Auction 4 u pages, sign in to your account, then select the All Selling option in the Sell section on the left side of the page (or in the Selling Manager Summary). The Monthly selling limits section shows your current selling activity relative to your monthly limits. You'll see a red alert once you've reached a limit, letting you know you won't be able to sell more items in the current month. You always have the option to request higher selling limits. Limits placed on an account for failing to meet the minimum performance standards will also be shown in your Seller Dashboard. This module only appears if your account is Below Standard. You'll see your category and item limits when you list using the Sell Your Item form. Category limits How limits on certain categories work In certain categories, for certain sellers, we limit the number of items that can be listed in a calendar month. These limits may apply to your account if: You registered your account less than 90 days ago

You haven't sold multiple items in this category before You haven't sold in this category in over a year You have had Auction 4 u Buyer Protection cases opened for more than 3% of your total transactions in the last year

You need to establish a positive selling history in the category you're listing in and show that you're able to meet the needs of your customers before you are permitted to list higher quantities. You may also be required to confirm your personal information. Once you've reached the selling limit for an item with limits, you'll get a message explaining that you'll need to wait a calendar month to list that item. There are limits on the number of items you can list in some categories:
16

Make sure your listing follows these guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. Item limits For a safer buying and selling experience on Auction 4 u, some items may be subject to additional limits. For example, we don't allow listings for counterfeit items, fakes, replicas, or unauthorized copies. Such items may infringe on someone's copyright or trademark and are harmful to legitimate sellers, buyers, and eBay. Some of these limits will be lifted after you've established a good selling history, but other types of limits will always remain in place. Sellers who have good detailed seller ratings and are confident in the authenticity and origin of their items may be eligible to have the selling limit increased. Increasing your limits When you list an item, you may see a message letting you know that you have met, or are close to, one of your monthly account limits. If you can't wait until the next month to continue listing, you can click the link in the message to request higher selling limits. Some sellers may also find this link in the All Selling section of My Auction 4 u in the Monthly selling limits section. From time to time, we ask members to verify contact information and business practices before they're allowed to list more items on our website. We also sometimes ask members to confirm some information. If you already have an established seller account You may be able to increase the limits on your account if you have another, more established seller account on Auction 4 u. Your other account needs to meet all of these conditions: 1. You've been a registered seller for at least 90 days..

17

If your account meets all of these conditions, follow the instructions on the Request higher selling limits page to confirm that you already have an established seller account. If you have a history of selling authentic items Sellers who have been a seller for at least 90 days with good detailed seller ratings and are confident in the authenticity and origin of their items may be eligible to have their selling limit increased. We'll consider the following when we determine whether to change selling limits: Positive buyer Feedback

No unresolved Auction 4 u Buyer Protection cases with buyers Selling history (minimum 3 months) and activity as a seller on the site Absence of Feedback questioning the authenticity of the item(s) PayPal verification History of following Auction 4 u policies General good standing of the account

If you don't qualify to have these limits increased at this time, please check back in 30 days. You may be able to list more items of this category or type at that time. These selling limits only apply to certain categories or types of items, so you can usually continue listing other types of items as long as they also follow our policies

9. FUTURE SCOPE
