First Claim
1. A system comprisingat least one processor and executable instructions accessible on a computer-readable medium that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first party, item information relating to an item to be offered for sale via a computer-based commerce system;
generating user interface information including criterion information;
communicating the user interface, over a network, to a client machine, the user interface including the user interface information;
receiving, from over the network from the client machine and from the first party, at least a portion of the criterion information;
parsing the criterion information to identify and extract specifying at least one criterion from the criterion information, the at least one criterion to be automatically satisfied by a second party to automatically qualify the second party to bid on the item via the computer-based commerce system, the at least one criterion comprising an activity criterion relating to a specified prior transaction activity to be satisfied by the second party, the satisfaction of the specified prior transaction activity including the second party interacting with the computer-based commerce system in accordance with the specified prior transaction activity;
automatically determining whether the second party satisfies the at least one criterion; and
automatically qualifying the second party to bid for the item via the computer-based commerce system responsive to the second party satisfying the at least one criterion.

Abstract
A system to automatically qualify a party to participate within a computer-based commerce transaction is described. The system receives, from a first party, item information relating to an item to be offered for sale. The system generates user interface information including criterion information and communicates a user interface, over a network, to a client machine. The system receives from the client machine and from the first party at least a portion of the criterion information. The system parses to identify and extract at least one criterion from the criterion information that is automatically satisfied by a second party to qualify the second party to bid on the item via the computer-based commerce system.

20. One or more hardware storage devices having stored therein a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, from a first party, item information relating to an item to be offered for sale via a computer-based commerce system; generating user interface information including criterion information; communicating the user interface, over a network, to a client machine, the user interface including the user interface information; receiving, from over the network from the client machine and from the first party, at least a portion of the criterion information; parsing the criterion information to identify and extract at least one criterion from the criterion information, the at least one criterion to be automatically satisfied by a second party to automatically qualify the second party to bid on the item via the computer-based commerce system, the at least one criterion comprising an activity criterion relating to a specified prior transaction activity to be satisfied by the second party, the satisfaction of the specified prior transaction activity including the second party interacting with the computer-based commerce system in accordance with the specified prior transaction activity; automatically determining whether the second party satisfies the at least one criterion; and automatically qualifying the second party to bid for the item via the computer-based commerce system responsive to the second party satisfying the at least one criterion.
