  • Patent number: 7788160
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for including a configurable order option in a listing on a network-based auction service. The system and method include specifying the configurable order using an auction application separate from the network-based auction service and communicating the configurable order option specified using the auction application to the network-based auction service as part of the listing. A seller may specify configurable order options during the creation of a listing that may be communicated to the network-based auction service along with the listing information. Configurable order options provide at least two possible choices for a bidder/buyer thereby allowing customization of the listing to the degree permitted by the seller. Configurable order options may include information such as, for example, the shipping method, payment method, an optional accessory purchase for a product in the listing, a warranty for a product in the listing, a color selection, and a model selection.

  • Publication number: 20050234802
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating an order for a product in a listing on a network-based auction service. The system and method include using an auction application separate from the network-based auction service to create the listing and to communicate information about the listing to a business information management system that will generate the order. The auction application may also determine the status of the listing and communicate this information to the business information management system that will process the order according to the listing status. An auction application may place a hold or reservation on the quantity of a product for a listing published on a network-based auction service so that the appropriate quantity of the product is available on the successful completion of the listing. In one embodiment, the auction application generates an order for one or more products in a listing when it publishes the listing to the network-based auction service.
