An ""offer"" to sell an item on an online auction site generally is treated as an invitation to negotiate. True or false?

Answer:True

Explanation: In live auctions, buying and selling of items, and bidding on these items, are done face to face by the auctioneer and the bidder. Online auction sites provide platforms for consumers and producers to buy and sell items over the internet.

Online auctions are different. Because these transactions take place online, and are thus automated, when an "offer" to sell an item occurs then it can be taken as an opportunity to negotiate. Interested parties can make bids on the item, with or without a limit, depending on the auctioneer. Then the party with the highest bid wins the item.
