<p>A conditional purchase offer (CPO) management system is disclosed for processing CPOs received from one or more buyers for a product. The CPO management system initially evaluates received CPOs to identify those CPOs that are unlikely to be accepted by sellers (720). CPOs that are identified as being unlikely to be accepted are processed to (i) identify any reaseons why a given CPO is unlikely to be accepted (730); (ii) recommend modifications to the CPO based on the identified reasons that will make the CPO more likely to be accepted (740); and (iii) facilitate the submission of a modified CPO reflecting said recommended modifications (750). Each CPO generally includes a buyer-specified selection option for each condition associated with the CPO. Each condition associated with a given CPO, as well as each selection option, is ranked in terms of relative importance. The CPO management system recommends modifying the lowest ranking conditions and selection options such that the modified CPO is more likely to be accepted, yet minimally affects the perceived value of the qualifying products that satisfy the modified CPO.</p> |
