Abstract:
Systems and methods to adjust a reserve price in a network-based commerce system are described. The system receives a proxy bid and an opt-in confirming the proxy bid is binding as an opt-in bid regardless of an adjustment to the reserve price by a seller. The system further receives an adjustment to the reserve price to generate an adjusted reserve price based on the received adjustment. Next, the system identifies whether the adjusted reserve price is less than the proxy bid. Next, the system identifies the proxy bid as an opt-in bid as a high proxy bid and the adjusted reserve price as lower than the high proxy bid. Finally, the system automatically designates the bidder associated with the high proxy bid as the current highest bidder of the item that is being auctioned and increases the proxy bid to the adjusted reserve price.
Abstract:
A method and system that introduces a fixed-price transaction mechanism in conjunction with an auction transaction mechanism. The system facilitates a network-based auction price-setting process for a listing using a fixed price-setting process. The listing includes a reserve price that is adjusted by receiving, via an interface, an adjustment to the reserve price to generate an adjusted reserve price. The system further identifies whether the adjusted reserve price is less than a proxy bid that has been received from a bidder for the listing.
Abstract:
Displaying a user interface to harvest feedback information pertaining to transactions facilitated by a computerized transaction facility includes the display of multiple feedback windows, or other distinct areas, within a user interface displayed on a display device. Each feedback window includes transaction identifier information that identifies a respective transaction. Each feedback window also includes a feedback input that receives feedback information, pertaining to an associated transaction identified by the transaction information. The feedback input is displayed, within each feedback window, to indicate an association with the respective transaction information. Accordingly, feedback input for multiple transactions may conveniently be inputted through a single user interface.
Abstract:
A system and method to facilitate translation of communications between entities over a network are provided. The system receives a first language construct transmitted by a first entity that is directed to a second entity. The system identifies a construct identifier corresponding to the first language construct and determines a language preference of the second entity. A second language construct is retrieved by the system by locating an entry in a translated construct table that contains both the construct identifier and a language identifier corresponding to the language preference of the second entity, whereby the second language construct is a translation of the first language construct into a second language corresponding to the language preference. The second language construct is used to update information associated with the first entity.
Abstract:
This invention provides for a method of (or apparatus for) facilitating the display of items of multiple transaction types in a commingled listing. The display of items of multiple transaction types in a commingled listing may include items which are being offered by a specific Seller at a network based commerce facility.
Abstract:
Generating a listing in a network-based commerce system Listing identification data is received from a user, and listing data associated with the listing, based on the listing identification data, is retrieved. Thereafter, a listing is generated that is at least partially based on the listing data tier posting on the network-based commerce system. In one embodiment, the user may edit the listing data prior to the listing being posted. The network-based commerce system may include a database of listing data associated with at least one of movies, music, games, books and motor vehicles. In one embodiment, the proposed listing comprises a plurality of check boxes each of which is associated with an attribute of the listing and the system automatically, without human intervention, checks attributes based on the listing data. The editing by the user may include the user selecting one or more of the check boxes.
