System to monitor irregular activity
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving item data at a machine of a network-based computer system, the item data related to an item categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system and including an item price-based value associated with the item;
determining a category-specific threshold price-based value of the first category;
automatically determining at the machine that the item data is irregular, based on the item price-based value and the category-specific threshold price-based value; and
responsive to the determination that the item data is irregular, causing the machine to restrict an entity associated with the item from using the network-based computer system.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving item data at a network-based computer system, the item data related to an item categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system 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 supported by the network-based computer system, 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 supported by the network-based computer system. Responsive to the determination that the item data is irregular, an entity associated with the item is restricted from using the network-based computer system.
