Abstract: A system and method that facilitates the resale activity of items is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system enables sellers to generate “for sale” record data using standardized item descriptions, individual item information, and/or seller-provided information. The generated “for sale” records are distributed by the system to online auctions and/or fixed-price network sites. The system generates customized offers and incentives for use in attracting prospective sellers and buyers, allows buyers to search one or more databases of “for sale” records, and assists with collection and escrow activities after a buyer and seller have agreed to complete a sale. To facilitate the delivery of an item once the item has been sold, the system provides item information and transaction information to a shipper to enable the shipper to ship packing materials to the seller. The seller may then ship the sold item to the buyer using the provided packing materials.
