Method and system for facilitation of wireless e-commerce transactions

A method for facilitating a wireless transaction, comprising:

• receiving, at a transaction system and at least in part over a wireless communication link, a transaction request for a user-selected wireless transaction, the transaction request associated with a wireless transaction comprising an authorization with respect to a product or service, and a fulfillment event associated with the authorization, the fulfillment event occurring at a fulfillment location;
• in response to the received user-selected transaction request, determining whether the authorization has been obtained;
• if the authorization has been obtained, communicating a transaction code from the transaction system to a wireless communication device, the transaction code that, at a first point in time, is capable of being received from the wireless communication device at the fulfillment location over a low power, short-range, digital radio link to partially complete the wireless transaction;
• and
• at a second point in time and while the wireless transaction remains only partially complete, completing the wireless transaction at the fulfillment location by sub-steps consisting essentially of receiving a transaction code from the wireless communication device over the low power, short-range, digital radio link, and removing from an inventory of the transaction system a transaction offering for the product or service associated with the completed wireless transaction such that the product or service is not available for purchase by a second user in a subsequent wireless transaction initiated by the second user.
