| Most people are probably aware by now
that shopping on the Internet has become a part of our society that is here to stay.
Retailers who had online storefronts during the last holiday season found that their
holiday sales through their Websites far exceeded their expectations. Shoppers found the
convenience of shopping from home, possibly in nothing more than their underwear in front
of the TV, to be incredibly simple. VISA and MasterCard are developing new standards to
make online shopping safer and to keep private information more secure. Selling by online auction has become one of the most popular ways to buy
and sell, with every major Web portal offering some form of an online auction. However,
many of these auction sites have become popular places for scam artists to con customers
out of their money. It is a virtually unregulated industry without many safeguards to
protect the consumer. At most sites, buyers are deluged with disclaimers because the sites
maintain no level of quality control over what is sold and offer no guarantees on the
products they sell.
Founded in January 1999, ProAuction.net is different, and
it is positioned to become a leader in Internet sales of merchandise by online auctions. |
ProAuction.net was founded by
trained, bonded, professional auctioneers to raise the standards in online auctions.Our
sellers are all legitimate businesses with storefronts and/or warehouses that customers
can visit. The Code of Ethics for our sellers requires full disclosure about the products
they sell. ProAuction.net protects the customers money in a fully
secure trust account until they are satisfied with their purchases. Sellers do not release
their goods until the buyers funds have been secured, thus ensuring that payment
definitely can be made. Other steps have been taken to help deter artificial price
inflation and other unethical practices. ALL items for sale include an image (photograph
or video clip) so the buyers can see what they are buying. Sellers are given assistance in
setting-up and maintaining their businesses home page on our site. As ProAuction.net grows, it will begin offering several types of

site caters to the professional buyer and the professional seller. ProAuction.net
provides quality in the products sold, integrity in its practices, and professionalism in
its actions.
