An online marketplace system provides various features for assisting users
in listing products for sale, locating the listings for a product, and
performing related actions. A user wishing to sell a product can browse
to an existing description of the product in an electronic catalog and
then select an option to create a corresponding listing. If the user
previously purchased the product via the system, the user may
alternatively select the product from a personal purchase history. The
system may also proactively send product-specific listing requests to
those predicted to own specific products. To create a listing for a
selected product, the user preferably specifies the product's condition
and a selling price. The pending listings for a product are preferably
displayed or summarized on the product's detail page in the catalog. In
one embodiment, the catalog also servers as a retail sales catalog of an
online merchant.
