DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for trading goods using a computer, and auction on the Internet (hereinafter referred to as "net auction").
And a method for trading goods traded through.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Net auctions, in which the number of users is increasing with the spread of personal computers, are becoming established as an individual-to-individual buying and selling mechanism. Generally, the structure of the net auction is as follows. First, the goods that the seller wants to sell are listed on the online auction site. At this time, transaction conditions such as the price that the seller wants to sell are also presented. For the presented item, the buyer bids on the site for the amount to be bought, and bids on the site. At the end of the auction, the buyer who bid at the highest price has won the item, and then the auction site notifies both the seller and the buyer of the result of the successful bid by e-mail. Here, the auction site only provides an auction site, and thereafter, the exchange of goods between the seller and the buyer is performed at their own responsibility. At present, the processing after a successful bid is performed without any rules.

[0003] Conventionally, the property evaluation of an article is performed by directly looking at it and touching it, and transactions in the market are also carried out by mutually visible opponents in the form of auction or stand-by. Internet auctions, on the other hand, allow buyers to evaluate goods based solely on the information displayed on the auction site and bid without looking at the real thing. , It is significantly different from the conventional transaction form. Under the current situation where there are no rules for transactions between individuals after a successful bid, these factors cause the following troubles for Internet auction users.

[0004] First, if the seller sends the goods before the buyer pays the price, the seller is uncertain whether the price will be paid reliably thereafter. On the other hand, if the buyer first transfers the money to the seller's bank account and sends the goods after the seller confirms the payment, is the buyer surely sent the goods even though the buyer paid? I am worried. In this case, since the seller must wait for the buyer to pay, the process of shipping the item is delayed and troublesome, and the buyer also receives the item slowly. In addition, buyers are afraid that the goods sent are different from what they saw on the auction site as expected. Even if the arrangement is made to send the goods back to the seller when the goods are not as expected, there is concern that if the buyer has already paid the money, it will be surely refunded. Furthermore, if the seller's process of sending the goods is slow or unreachable regardless of whether the buyer paid, trouble may occur. In order to eliminate such concerns of online auction users, especially concerns and concerns of buyers who pay money, auction sites provide a mechanism for buyers to evaluate sellers on the site, and publish the results on the site. In doing so, they are taking steps to protect buyers. However, if the seller has malice, it is impossible to prevent the buyer from suffering damage due to fraudulent trouble.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the current Internet auction, and has been developed using a computer.
It is an object of the present invention to create a transaction method capable of smoothly, reliably and safely performing an individual-to-individual article purchase and sale process after an auction is completed, thereby contributing to the convenience of a net auction user.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As described above, the worries of Internet auction users are that there are no clear rules for buying and selling between individuals, and that the processing after a successful bid must be performed at the seller's and buyer's own risk. to cause. However, as the connection between the seller and the buyer is not a face-to-face relationship, but an invisible relationship with each other via a communication network, even if both parties take the transaction with great care, the goods sold If there is a major discrepancy, misunderstanding, or unexpected accident in the property evaluation of, it is inevitable that trouble will occur between the two.

According to the present invention, means for intervening between a seller and a buyer and mediating a transaction after a successful bid (hereinafter referred to as an intermediary)

At the same time, the intermediary notifies the seller that there has been a refund request from the buyer (arrow). The delivery of the goods returned from the buyer to the seller is performed by an intermediary (arrow). The intermediary delivers the goods to the seller and enters confirmation information into the computer (arrows). Then, after the return confirmation information is input to the computer, a process in which the intermediary refunds the price deposited by the buyer to the buyer is performed (arrow), and the transaction ends.

According to the present invention, the seller can send the goods with confidence after the buyer has decided, so that the shipping process can be completed quickly and the price of the goods can be surely collected via the intermediary. Can be. Also, the buyer can receive the goods quickly, and can pay for the goods in peace in exchange for the goods. In addition, buyers can return the goods delivered for a certain period of time, so that they can get good quality goods that match their own property evaluation, while sellers can also refund the price etc. Is performed by the intermediary, the transaction can proceed without troublesome procedures.

[0012] In an online auction, it is common for a buyer to make a successful bid for a desired product. However, the buyer wants to give the product exhibited in the auction as a gift to a third party living away from the buyer. For this reason, they may participate in online auctions. Also in this case, according to the present invention, the goods are transferred and the transaction price is transferred between the seller, the buyer, and the receiver who receives the goods via the intermediary.
