Vickrey Auction

What is the "Vickery Auction"?

A Vickery Auction is a type of sealed-bid auction, where bidders submit written bids without knowing the bid of the other people in the auction. The highest bidder wins, but the price paid is the second-highest bid. The auction was created by William Vickery. The type of auction is strategically simillar to an English auction, and give bidders an incentive to bid their true value.

I am very interested in the bidders who win that don't need to pay the highest price they ever given, but the second highest bid which was given by his/her competitors. I am wondering whether other commerical websites like ebay, amzon, best buy, etc have followed this rules. So I will log on one of them, and check how it works in a few days. But first I should find some goods which I am interested, right?
