As an online merchant, you are probably well aware of the multiple benefits of hosting an auction, from heightening a potential customer's interest in your product or service to pushing customers to a decision point wherein they have to act now or lose the opportunity to purchase. You are also aware that the price you get at an auction can far exceed the price of a negotiated sale. In short, by hosting an auction, you can boost sales and increase your online conversion rate in a short period of time. The only drawback to holding an online auction on eBay or any other third-party auction website is how to issue invoices and collect payments from the winning bidders.

Whether you are hosting an auction on eBay, baazee.com or any other auction website, with the Auction Payment Collection facility, you can email invoices to winning bidders and collect payments for auctioned items easily and instantly.
