چکیده

Prior research has found that customers prefer retailing websites that offer online bargaining service. Online bargaining indeed is an attractive field in today’s e-commerce. However, as compared to online auction, it has been much underdeveloped.

This paper investigates the market behavior and the benefits to the sellers under a dynamic price change strategy based on the real-time market bargaining information.
