A method comprising:
- identifying, using one or more processors and in response to a user-composed social networking system post from a user of a social networking system, one or more triggers indicating that the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post identifying an item that the user is interested in purchasing and comprising a solicitation for other users of the social networking system who are interested in selling the item or have information associated with the item;
- determining, using the one or more processors and based on the identified one or more triggers, whether the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post;
- in response to a determination that the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post, generating a pre-formatted want to buy post with data based on information associated with the one or more triggers, the structured data corresponding to data associated with one or more sale listings;
- and
- in response to a determination that the user-composed social networking system post is not a want to buy post, posting the user-composed social networking post as a standard social networking system post.

- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- identify, in response to a user-composed social networking system post from a user of a social networking system, one or more triggers indicating that the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post identifying an item that the user is interested in purchasing and comprising a solicitation for other users of the social networking system who are interested in selling the item or have information associated with the item;
- determine, using the one or more processors and based on the identified one or more triggers, whether the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post;
- in response to a determination that the user-composed social networking system post is a want to buy post, generate a pre-formatted want to buy post with structured data based on information associated with the one or more triggers, the structured data corresponding to data associated with one or more sale listings;
