ABSTRACT:
A seller may define a template using an internal auction application in an integrated internal auction system that may then be used to generate an auction. The template information may be used to provide auction parameter values and/or product information. The template may be created by copying an existing auction or template which may then be modified or the template may be created by a seller providing specific values for the template information. Template information may consist of specific data and rules that may be used to generate a value for an auction parameter when an auction is, for example, created or published. One or more auction templates may be associated with a seller. The seller may select a template to use when creating an auction in order to expedite the auction creation process. The seller may then modify the auction parameters and/or product information before saving the auction.
