eBay expanded its Live Auctions tool by adding new product categories and support for 17 different monetary currencies. This will enable trade internationally between bidders and auction houses around the world. Live Auctions is a proprietary technology developed by eBay that allows online bidders to participate by transmitting online bids from a user's computer to the bidding floor of an auction house. eBay Live Auctions is available in twelve categories, including automobiles, wine and specialty auctions.
