In addition to the information provided by the sellers to describe the items, interested buyers may also provide their own information to further describe the items for the benefit of the buyers.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of the second item;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface that consolidates the first and second item information, the monitoring user interface comprising a first interactive graph corresponding to the first item, and a second interactive graph corresponding to the second item;
- and
- updating a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a first value associated with the first interactive graph and a second value associated with the second interactive graph.

A server comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, the instructions providing operations for:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of the second item;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface that consolidates the first and second item information, the monitoring user interface comprising a first interactive graph corresponding to the first item, and a second interactive graph corresponding to the second item;
- and
- updating a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a first value associated with the first interactive graph and a second value associated with the second interactive graph.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- providing, to a first computing device, a first user interface comprising first item information related to a listing of a first item in a network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of the first item;
- providing, to the first computing device, a second user interface comprising second item information related to a listing of a second item in the network-based publication application;
- receiving, via the second user interface, a selection of the second item;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first and second items, providing, to the first computing device, a monitoring user interface that consolidates the first and second item information, the monitoring user interface comprising a first interactive graph corresponding to the first item, and a second interactive graph corresponding to the second item;
- and
- updating a display order of the first and second items in the monitoring user interface based on a first value associated with the first interactive graph and a second value associated with the second interactive graph.
