Service or craftsmen auctions describe online auction portals where customers list handcrafts jobs or services they want to have carried out and craftsmen or providers make their bids. This type of auction is characterized by decreasing prices, which is called Dutch auction. During a certain time horizon, the customer receives different bids for the service demanded and can choose the offer he is willing to pay for. As the business model definition is limited to service and craftsmen auctions, general online auction portals such as eBay are not considered. Furthermore, a website must not be restricted to one local region (e.g. Florida). Moreover, the websites are required to include auction features such as allowing several bidders for one offer; thus, ordinary classified ads do not fall under this definition.
