Abstract :

The Web-Based Online Auction System is a digital platform designed to facilitate secure and real-time online bidding for products. Traditional auction systems suffer from limitations such as geographical constraints, lack of transparency, and security vulnerabilities. This project aims to overcome these issues by developing a scalable and user-friendly auction system. The objective of the project is to enable buyers and sellers to participate in auctions seamlessly through real-time bidding. The system is developed using the MERN stack comprising MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. Web Socket technology is used to support live bidding updates. Secure authentication, encrypted transactions, and fraud prevention mechanisms are incorporated to enhance trust and reliability. The proposed system improves accessibility, efficiency, and transparency in online auctions.
