In a regular auction, purchasers are allowed to place a bid on an item, which is the amount they are willing to pay in order
to buy the item. The person who places the highest bid usually ends up with the item.
With a reverse auction, however, the opposite is true. More specifically, buyers outbid each other by placing bids for the
lowest amount they are willing to pay for a specific service or item. Generally, the buyer who places the lowest bid will
secure the item.
During the bidding process, each Bidder is required to pay an Administration Fee (herein known as "bid cost",
in form of bid points) in order to place a bid. If your bid is not duplicated with others, and is the lowest among them, you
would be a successful bidder.
This is best illustrated with the following example:
