Since the 1990s, online auctions, as well as e-commerce in general, has boomed. The COVID-19 pandemic this year has further led to an increase in online transactions, making the topic of online auctions as current as ever. This paper summarizes and compares existing research on the strategies for bidders and sellers in online auctions to conclude that sniping could be an optimal strategy for bidders to employ and that sellers must take a more strategic approach in selecting discretionary attributes in their auction listings to maximize profits.
