Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, a user (hereinafter, referred to as a 'seller') who wants to sell a product uses his PC 30 as his ID to the service server 10 through the communication network 10. The client establishes an auction for selling his product to the service server 10, and the service server 10 publishes auction information (S100).

When opening an auction, Seller A enters the item and information of the item to be sold, the auction starting price, the auction starting time, and the auction closing time.
