- the plurality of items includes a first offering of a first transaction type and a second offering of a second transaction type.
- the first transaction type implements a first price setting process and the second transaction type implements a second price setting process.
- At least one of the first and second price-setting processes includes a fixed price-setting process, an auction price-setting process, and a hybrid auction/fixed price-setting process.
- the fixed price-setting process provides items with a price that does not change after listing, and which allows buyers to purchase quantities of the item instead of going through an auction process.
- the initial quantity of a fixed-priced item can be one or more.
- the auction price-setting process allows multiple users (e.g. ,Buyers) to bid on items for a fixed period of time after which the user with the highest bid may buy the item at a submitted bid price.
- the hybrid auction/fixed price setting process allows a Buyer to purchase an item at a fixed price before an initial bid can be placed on an item.
- Buy It Now items are items in an auction that have a quantity of one, but also have both an initial bid amount and a BIN amount.
- the network-based transaction facility 10 receives a buyer's request to view the items in a seller's virtual store.
