Disclosed are various embodiments for displaying content. A display area includes multiple information regions presenting content. Visual characteristics associated with the information regions adjust according to values corresponding to the to the information regions. For example, the sizes or positions of the information regions may adjust according to the values.

Adaptive information regions displaying content associated with an electronic commerce system

Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a network page having a data density that corresponds to a network page load time for a client in communication with an electronic commerce system. In one embodiment, the electronic commerce system determines a network page load time for a client and draws an association between the client and a data density based at least in part on the network page load time. The electronic commerce system generates a network page having the data density and serves the network page for the client.

Load time adapted network pages

Disclosed are various embodiments for displaying content associated with a merchant selling items through an electronic commerce system. A display area includes multiple information regions presenting content associated with the merchant. Visual characteristics associated with the information regions adjust according to values corresponding to the to the information regions. For example, the sizes or positions of the information regions may adjust according to the values.

Load time adapted network page(s)

Disclosed are various embodiments for adjusting prices of items in foreign marketplaces based on fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A deviation from a return sought by a merchant for an item offered in an electronic marketplace is determined. The deviation results from a change in an exchange rate between a first currency employed by the merchant and a second currency employed by the electronic marketplace. It is determined whether the deviation from the return meets a threshold. One or more actions in response to the deviation are implemented when the deviation from the return meets the threshold.

Pricing for foreign marketplaces

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating seller to seller transactions. A seller can make products in the seller's inventory available to other sellers. Therefore, other sellers may list a portion of the seller's inventory as their own in-stock inventory. Upon the sale of such a product by another seller, embodiments of the disclosure can facilitate initiating and settling transactions between the sellers and the purchaser as well as fulfillment of the product from the seller's inventory to the purchaser on behalf of another seller.

Seller to seller transactions

Disclosed are various embodiments for determining inventory levels of a multi-channel seller. Order rates can be retrieved from various marketplaces in which a seller participates. An inventory depletion rate can also be determined. A period of uncertain inventory availability can be determined based at least upon an update interval with which order updates are retrieved. Inventory can be reported as unavailable based at least upon an initial quantity of the product, the inventory depletion rate, and whether the period of uncertain inventory availability is entered.

Inventory across multiple marketplaces

Embodiments for implementing a buyer global search in electronic commerce include a method of detecting, by a computing device, that a search query for a product item within a first marketplace is unsuccessful and in response to the unsuccessful search query, executing the search query for the product item within a second marketplace. The method further includes detecting that the search query for the product item within the second marketplace is successful; and in response to the successful search query in the second marketplace, offering a user that submitted the search query in the first marketplace to purchase the product item being sold by a seller.

Buyer global search

Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing inventory pooling for multiple merchants. A first inventory of an item held at a first fulfillment center on behalf of a first merchant is contributed to a common pool of inventory. A second inventory of the item held at a second fulfillment center on behalf of a second merchant is contributed to the common pool of inventory. Fulfillment of an order placed by a customer of the first merchant is initiated from the second inventory of the item that was contributed by the second merchant to the common pool of inventory.
