The present invention relates to an auction method in which bidders may submit bids for a product which range from a lower limit price submitted by a seller to a higher limit price of the product, thus enabling the seller and the bidders to determine the price of the product autonomously, and in which the bid price of the successful bidders who submit the lowest bid may be applied as the selling price for all bidders, thereby providing profits both to the seller and to the successful bidders. The present invention also relates to an auction server. The auction method according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step in which an auction server maintains a database including the upper limit price, the lower limit price submitted by a seller, and a bid success rate of a certain product; a step in which the auction server receives, from the bidders, bidding information including the bid price for said product which ranges from the lower limit price to the higher limit price during a preset time period; a step in which the auction server selects the successful bidders who submit the lowest price from among the bidders in consideration of the bid success rate and the bidding information after a preset bidding time period has elapsed; and a step in which the auction server applies the bid price of the successful bidders who submit the lowest price as a selling price to all bidders and requests payment from all successful bidders based on the bidding information of the successful bidders who submit the lowest price. |
