These identified strategies are then evaluated according to their winning outcome, consumer surplus extraction, perceived enjoyment, and bidder satisfaction. Both objective and subjective data of online single-unit auctions are collected from Taobao.com to validate our postulated hypotheses. We find three main bidding strategies in these auctions -- early, snipe, and agent-supported ratchet bidding -- based on their behavior patterns. These strategies lead to different levels of bidder satisfaction, winning outcome and cost saving, but have no significant effect on perceived enjoyment. Findings derived from online single-unit auctions will then be extended to investigate online P2P lending auctions. A research model based on stimulus-organism-response and social capital theories has been developed to investigate information asymmetry reduction, bidding motivation, and bidding strategies in the context of online P2P lending auctions. This model will be validated with empirical data collected from a P2P site in China. 信息管理与电子商务系2014.6.26
