    Publication number: 20090012881
    Abstract: A system and method providing improved management of product listings on an e-commerce website by allowing sellers to define rules or conditions that automatically adjust a product's listing price based upon a triggering event. The triggering event may be the expiration of a pre-defined time period. The listing price of a product can be automatically reduced in the event that the product does not sell within a certain time frame. Further, sellers are immediately notified of an offer to purchase a listed product.
