Abstract:

In a pay for placement database search system, in which advertisers pay to include their search listings in a database to be provided with search results in response to queries from searchers, each advertiser decides how much money he wants to spend on a search term. The search provider displays the advertisers' listings in proportion to the amount of money the respective advertisers spend. This permits the advertisers to subscribe to the database search system, deciding how much to pay for a subscription for a predetermined time period. The search provider can recommend an optimal spend amount for the advertisers.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37

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. The winning bidder/buyer's selection for a configurable order option is communicated back to the auction application which may process the selection and send the appropriate order information to a back-end business information management system or the auction application may send the selection directly to the back-end business information management system for processing as part of the order.

US Classification:

705 37, 705 26, 705 27

Abstract:

A seller may define a template using an internal auction application in an integrated internal auction system that may then be used to generate an auction. The template information may be used to provide auction parameter values and/or product information. The template may be created by copying an existing auction or template which may then be modified or the template may be created by a seller providing specific values for the template information. Template information may consist of specific data and rules that may be used to generate a value for an auction parameter when an auction is, for example, created or published. One or more auction templates may be associated with a seller. The seller may select a template to use when creating an auction in order to expedite the auction creation process. The seller may then modify the auction parameters and/or product information before saving the auction.

Abstract:

A method of failure recovery is provided that includes providing an automatic failure recovery transaction in an auction application interacting with a network-based auction service. The network-based auction service has a forward-only process that is adapted to prevent roll-back to a process state at a time of a failure. If the failure occurs within the forward-only process, the method includes automatically conducting a roll-back to a beginning of the forward-only process by the auction application. A computer readable medium is provided that includes instructions adapted to execute a method for failure recovery.
