Method, machine-readable medium, and system for proximity-based services for products based on merchant density

A publication system can receive a first location of a client device determined from wireless communications between the client device and an electronic device associated with a known location (e.g., GPS, IP Access Point, cell tower, WIFI-enabled device, Bluetooth-enabled device, etc.). The system can identify items marked by geographic indications associating an item category with a geographic region from where the item category originates and that are available proximate to the client's location. The system can identify locations at which the items are available, and transmit those locations to the client. When the system determines that the client is proximate to one of the locations, the system can provide various services, such as providing a payment interface for purchasing/selling the items, updating one or more accounts associated with the purchased/sold items (e.g., seller account, buyer account, etc.), facilitating shipping of the purchased/sold items, among others.
