Various systems for collecting individual post-sale market data for
products or services, and determining aggregate post-sale market data
therefrom, are provided. In such systems, a sale of a product or service
may trigger a third party, such as a payment provider, to arrange for the
collection of individual post-sale market data from the consumer.
Dependent upon the type of product or service involved, a schedule for
continuously submitting post-sale market data for the product or service
may be provided and the consumer may be encouraged to submit post-sale
market data in accordance therewith through a variety of incentives. The
received, individual, post-sale market data may be aggregated by one or
more sources to determine aggregate post-sale market data for the product
or service. The submitted individual data and/or the determined aggregate
post-sale market data may then be provided to consumers in order to
assist them in making purchasing decisions.
