Overview

BuyMe is a comprehensive web application for online auctions using Java, JSX, Servlets, SQL that replicates eBay's functionality, enabling users to buy and sell items online. Sellers can create auctions, set item characteristics, closing dates, and hidden minimum prices (reserves).

Buyers can place bids, including automatic bids with secret upper limits, and receive alerts about higher bids and exceeded limits. The system determines and notifies auction winners based on reserve prices and highest bids. Users can browse items, sort them by criteria, search by various factors, view bid histories, and see past similar auctions. Alerts notify users when items of interest become available. Admins can create customer representative accounts, generate detailed sales reports, and manage user accounts. Customer representatives respond to user questions, edit/delete account information, and remove bids and auctions.
