Abstract
Techniques are directed to identifying a target buyer for resalable items. A payment processing service analyzes digital record(s) of a user. Social media channel(s), search engine(s), or marketplace(s) are monitored. Based on the monitoring and analyzing, the user is identified as a target buyer of an item. Based on the monitoring of marketplace(s), a plurality of users that have previously purchased an instance of the item are determined. Computing devices associated with the plurality of users are sent a notification that identifies the item as a candidate for resale. Based on an indication that a subset of the plurality of users desire to sell an instance of the item, a listing of the item for sale on an ecommerce channel is created. The computing system receives an indication of a desire to purchase an individual instance of the item from the target buyer and processes a transaction.
