# Auction Types Overview

In the context of auctions, the main difference between a reverse auction and a regular (or forward) auction lies in the roles of buyers and sellers, and the direction in which the price moves:

### Regular (Forward) Auction:

<div bis_skin_checked="1" class="flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full" id="bkmrk-role-of-participants"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="891cb9df-87e9-40f1-a397-f46ccf1b9d5a" dir="auto"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark">1. **Role of Participants**: Sellers offer goods or services, and buyers place bids to purchase them.
2. **Price Movement**: The price typically starts low and increases as buyers compete by placing higher bids. The item is sold to the highest bidder.
3. **Objective**: Buyers aim to outbid each other to win the item or service being auctioned.

</div></div></div></div>**Example**: An art auction where various bidders compete to buy a painting, with the highest bid winning the item.

### Reverse Auction:

<div bis_skin_checked="1" class="flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full" id="bkmrk-role-of-participants-1"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&]:mt-5 juice:w-full juice:items-end overflow-x-auto gap-2" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="891cb9df-87e9-40f1-a397-f46ccf1b9d5a" dir="auto"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 juice:empty:hidden juice:first:pt-[3px]"><div bis_skin_checked="1" class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark">1. **Role of Participants**: Buyers post their requirements for goods or services, and sellers place bids to offer the goods or services.
2. **Price Movement**: Sellers decreases price compete by offering lower bids. The buyer selects the lowest bid or the best offer.
3. **Objective**: Sellers aim to underbid each other to win the contract or sale.

</div></div></div></div>**Example**: A company needs a bulk supply of office chairs and invites suppliers to bid. Suppliers compete by offering lower prices, and the company chooses the supplier with the most competitive offer.

In summary, the key difference is that in a regular auction, buyers compete to purchase from sellers, driving the price up. In a reverse auction, sellers compete to fulfill a buyer's need, driving the price down.

# Dashboard

</div>#### Understanding the Location area in Edit listing tab

Let us understand how to provide the address and Street/House No for providing the exact locations on the map. When you provide the address, street and House No. in the backend when creating listings, the location position automatically. If the House No. is not provided, additional location fields needs to be used.

##### Mapping using longitudes and latitudes

If you provide the latitudes and longitudes, and the Maps Search setting is left blank, the location mapping is done based on these parameters as shown in the following image.

[![obraz.png](https://wiki.comdev.eu/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/scaled-1680-/e1Dobraz.png)](https://wiki.comdev.eu/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/e1Dobraz.png)**![](https://wiki.comdev.eu/download/attachments/8585295/jomoff_adminguide_33.jpg?version=2&modificationDateamp;api=v2)**

**Screen 3: Map using longitudes and latitudes values**

##### Mapping with Map Search values 

If the Map Search field has a value provided to it, it takes precedence as shown in the following image. If the Map Search field value is given as “London”, the location will map to this location.

# Work Type
