As determined by the characteristic of the Internet, auction mechanism of online auction is inevitably distinct from the traditional auction. As a current auction, English auction is applied on auction Website, and the auction mechanism is combined with timing-auction and minimum-adding, but it ignores time issue, therefore this mechanism don´t suit for impatient bidders who have a high time-cost during the auction duration. The function of BUY IT NOW is always not a good solution for buyers because of higher trade price This article analyzes the effect of time-cost during the auction duration It also improves the traditional mechanism and optimize the resource distribution to suit impatient bidders.
