Competitive Auctions on eBay.com.The file eBayAuctions.csvcontains information on 1972 auctions transacted on eBay.com during May–June 2004. The goal is to
use these data to build a model that will distinguish competitive auctions from noncompetitive ones. A competitive auction is defined as an auction with at least two
bids placed on the item being auctioned. The data include variables that describe the
item (auction category), the seller (his or her eBay rating), and the auction terms that
the seller selected (auction duration, opening price, currency, day of week of auction
close). In addition, we have the price at which the auction closed. The goal is to
predict whether or not an auction of interest will be competitive.
