Building an eBay-like Auction Site with Django: CS50W Project Walkthrough

In this video, I walk you through the process of building an eBay-like auction site using Django for the CS50 Web Programming with Python and JavaScript course. This project allows users to create auction listings, place bids, add listings to a watchlist, and comment on them.

Key Features:

User Authentication: Users can register, log in, and manage their accounts.
Auction Listings: Users can create listings with a title, description, starting bid, and optional category/image.
Bidding System: Users can place bids on listings, with each bid having to be higher than the previous ones.
Watchlist: Signed-in users can add listings to their watchlist for easy tracking.
Commenting: Users can add comments on auction listings.
Auction Closing: The listing creator can close the auction and declare the highest bidder as the winner.
Django Admin Interface: Admins can manage listings, bids, and comments.
