The present invention enables users to participate in an auction process for a specific good to be auctioned by means of increasing the bid amount during an auction participation period, and allocates an additional period to each participant in accordance with the order of participation upon the expiration of the auction participation period, such that each participant can further participate in the relevant auction process during the additional period allocated thereto. The allocation is performed in such a manner that the additional period of the participant ranked earlier expires later than the additional period of the participant ranked later. Therefore, the bidder having participated in the auction earlier may determine whether to keep or abandon the auction after checking the bid amounts of other participants ranked later. Users may quickly participate in the auction in which they are interested to achieve such an advantageous position, and the seller may quickly judge whether or not the auction conditions offered thereby is reasonable even before the expiration of the auction participation period, such that the seller may actively respond to the progress of the auction by changing the lowest bid amount or taking other steps. |
