Umgekehrte Auktion
Ich hatte vor einigen Wochen eine Übersetzung mit genau demselben Begriff und habe ihn so übersetzt, weil es den Sinn erfasst (normale Auktion: Lieferant bietet was an, Käufer bietet Kaufpreis; umgekehrte Auktion: Käufer lässt Lieferanten bieten und kauft dann das Preiswerteste).

"A "reverse" auction is an auction with a twist! With a traditional auction, a limited number of items are put up for sale by sellers, and prospective buyers enter bids. Naturally, the buyers can only enter bids on items that have been put up for sale. This is a major limitation of a traditional auction -- limited items are up for sale. With a "reverse" auction, on the other hand, prospective buyers can list any items that they wish to buy, and then sellers bid to provide the best price. This concept is much more consumer oriented! The consumer decides the exact specifications of each item, instead of the specifications being dictated by the seller. Up until the introduction of the Internet, it was not feasible to conduct a reverse auction. Now, the TravelBids auction has become the first one. The term "reverse auction" was coined by Hal Segal, TravelBids' founder, in 1996."

In the future however, we will all have to check our own contexts carefully because a Declining Price Auction with one supplier and many bidders is also sometimes referred to as a Reverse Auction, as you can see at the following site:
