Excerpt
Excerpt [0026] Once the payment 122 from consumer 110 has been collected and/or verified, the auction item (e.g., goods or services) 126 purchased is sent to consumer 110, either by host 108 or goods or services provider/seller 109. In the latter case, host 108 provides payment 127 to seller 109 who may send goods/services 126 directly to consumer 110. In one embodiment, consumers 110 may earn rebate points or dollars based on the number of items they purchase at Web site 104, where the rebate is applicable to future purchases at fund-raising Web site 104. Alternatively, the consumer rebate may be donatable to a consumer's favorite charity or other type of fund-raising organization. As an added advantage, one skilled in the art will recognize that Web site 104 and provider 108 may simultaneously host multiple auctions for different fund-raising organizations. |
