Current price is decremented by the Reverse Auction system from its first maximum bid price, based on the number of bids that this Reverse Auction item received. 

The Reverse Auction starting date and ending date are counted by the system when a requester posted this item as Reverse Auction. The requester indicated the duration period inside the Reverse Auction posting form. 

Location is the physical location of the Reverse Auction item that will be shipped to. This will allow the potential bidders to estimate the cost of delivery and shipping days from its physical location to the requester or buyer’s location. 

Requester’s name will be displayed at the Reverse Auction page, and the potential bidders will be able to check his past online trading experiences with other members through the Buyer’s Rating system. Higher number of rating (could be negative, depending on the user’s creditability and reliability) on the past trading history will improve bidder’s confidence on dealing with the requester. 

Payment type, shipping methods and shipping regions are displayed accordingly in order to allow bidders to understand more about this request-for-bid item before placing their bids on it. 

Current highest bidder’s name will be displayed at the same Reverse Auction page, with his number of rating displayed beneath the user name.
