    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for automatically saving and presenting a state of a communication session are presented. The communication session may be established between a client device of a user and an application server of a content publisher. In some embodiments, the method may include determining that the communication session includes a typical process flow of the user. Session data representative of a state of the communication session may then be selected and stored in response to performance of a particular operation that is at least similar to an operation included in the sequence of operations of the typical process flow of the user. The method may further include generating and presenting an interface that includes an element that allows a user to return to the saved state of the communication session.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing a competitive price to a buyer during the purchase process for a good or service obtainable via a publication platform. The publication platform maintains an index of competitors' websites that offer the same good or service. A price probe is periodically and/or dynamically performed on these stored websites to determine whether a competitor is offering a given good or service at a lower price. Where it is determined that a competitor's price is “better” for the given good or service (e.g., lower than the current purchasing price), a message is communicated to the seller of the given good or service that a competitor is offering the given good or service at the lower price. The seller may then be offered the opportunity to lower the current purchase price of the given good or service.
