A computer-implemented method includes receiving item data at a
network-based transaction facility, the item data related to an item
categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories of
the network-based transaction facility and including an item price-based
value associated with the item. A category-specific threshold price-based
value, for the first category of the plurality of categories of the
network-based transaction facility, is automatically determined. The item
data is automatically determined to the irregular, based on the item
price-based value associated with the item and the category-specific
threshold price-based value for the first category of the plurality of
categories of the network-based transaction facility. Responsive to the
determination that the item data is irregular, an electronic message is
automatically communicated to an entity associated with the item.
