An auction profile may also be defined for a seller and may contain data or rules for generating an auction that may be used to provide additional default values for the auction. One or more auction profiles may be associated with a seller. The seller selects a product from the catalog and chooses a create auction option resulting in an auction being generated from the product information and the profile, if one exists.

  • Publication number: 20070100741
    Abstract: A customer may view auction information in an existing product catalog on a seller e-commerce site. The auction information may be integrated into the product catalog and may inform the customer about both existing auctions and the status of the auctions. For example, an icon may be displayed in the product entry in the product catalog indicated both an existing auction by the presence of the icon and the auction status by the type of icon used. The auction information may include a hyperlink allowing the customer to click on the auction information (e.g., the icon) to rapidly navigate the customer to the auction information. In this manner, a customer may be presented information in a seller e-commerce site from an internal auction system integrated with a product catalog from a seller business information management system.
