A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving user input from a user device, the user input describing information about a publication for listing on a network-based marketplace;
- retrieving a plurality of publications by querying a publication database based on the user input;
- generating statistic data using information from the plurality of publications by determining a minimum price and a maximum price from the plurality of publications and calculating information from the plurality of publications, wherein the information comprises counts of a plurality of different listing formats of the plurality publications used to generate the statistic data;
- and
- providing the statistic data including the minimum price, the maximum price, and the calculated information to the user device to display on a user interface.
One or more computer storage media storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- providing, to a user device of a user, a first user interface;
- receiving, in the first user interface, information for generating an item listing for publication by a network-based publication system;
- identifying an item from the item listing being generated by the user;
- identifying, from a database of the network-based publication system, a plurality of item listings for items matching or similar to the item from the item listing being generated;
- generating a calculated price based on pricing information from the plurality of item listings, wherein the pricing information comprises counts of a plurality of different listing formats of the plurality of item listings;
- and
- providing, to the user device, a second user interface that presents the calculated price.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer storage media storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive user input from a user device, the user input including information for identifying an item or item category corresponding to an item listing being generated for publication by a network-based publication system;
- in response to receiving the information, querying a database of the network-based publication system to retrieve a plurality of item listings for items corresponding to the item or item category;
- generate a calculated price based on pricing information from the plurality of item listings, wherein the pricing information comprises counts of a plurality of different listing formats of the plurality of item listings;
- and
- provide, to the user device, the calculated price for setting a price for the item listing being generated.
