Abstract: A system for processing a transaction request on an e-commerce platform is provided. The system includes a database unit and a terms for sale comparison unit. The database unit receives information submitted by a plurality of vendors. This information identifies products to be offered for sale and indicates terms. The terms comparison unit retrieves, from the database unit, primary and secondary sets of terms for a product offered for sale by a vendor; retrieves an alternative set of terms for at least one equivalent product offered by another vendor; compares the primary set of terms to the alternative set of terms; and if alternative set of terms are preferable to the primary set of terms, compares the secondary set of terms to the alternative set of terms.
