Publication number: 20230367807Abstract: In example embodiments, a system and method for providing item notifications is provided. A networked system receives, from a device of a user, a selection of an item from a list for monitoring. The network system also receives, from the device of the user, a condition that triggers the reporting of news for the selected item. The network system monitors for news for the selected item. A determination is made as to whether the condition that triggers the reporting of the news is satisfied. In response to determining that the condition that triggers the reporting of the news is satisfied, the networked system transmits a notification to the user indicating the news for the selected item.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Nathan Sacco, Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres

Patent number: 10289697Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for onboarding a collection of items. In example embodiments, image data containing images of a plurality of items from a client device is received. The image data is parsed to distinguish an item of the plurality of items. The item is then identified. In some embodiments, the item is identified by determining at least one catalog item that matches an identifying feature of the item, providing a verification request indicating the at least one catalog item, and receiving a verification response confirming the identity of the item. An inventory list is compiled by including the identified item in the inventory list.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Nathan Sacco, Guy Schory, Robert Dean Veres
