# Auction Website

Welcome to our Auction Website, a dynamic and user-friendly platform designed for both buyers and sellers. This project is a comprehensive system that allows users to auction items in an efficient and secure manner.

## Features

- **User Registration**: Users can register as either a buyer or a seller, providing essential details like email, first name, last name, and password.

- **Auction Creation**: Sellers have the ability to create auctions, setting details such as item name, description, starting and reserve price, category, color, and condition.

- **Bidding System**: Buyers can browse through available auctions and place bids on items of interest.

- **Watchlist**: Users can add items to their watchlist for easy tracking.

- **Ratings**: Buyers can rate sellers, providing feedback on their experience.

## Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

The ERD outlines the logical relationships between different entities in the project. Key aspects include:

- Sellers can create multiple auctions.

- Buyers can place multiple bids and rate sellers.

- Items can be featured in multiple auctions and belong to categories.

- Users can watch multiple auctions.
