Systems and methods for facilitating purchase offer selection across multiple online sales platforms
Systems and methods for facilitating purchase offer selection across multiple online sales platforms are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain first information defining a first sales listing of a particular virtual item on a first online sales platform; obtain second information defining a second sales listing of the particular virtual item on a second online sales platform; receive at least two indications of offers to purchase the particular virtual item; obtain information that represents at least one sales characteristic by which the offers to purchase the particular virtual item are to be ranked according to desirability; determine and compare a first metric value for the first offer and a second metric value for the second offer; and determine an accepted offer that is accepted based on the comparison.
1. A system configured for facilitating purchase offer selection across multiple online sales platforms, the system comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
receive at least two indications of offers to purchase a particular virtual item, wherein the at least two indications of the offers include a first indication of a first offer received through a first online sales platform from a first prospective buying user and a second indication of a second offer received through a second online sales platform from a second prospective buying user, wherein the first online sales platform is configured to allow purchases using a fiat currency, and wherein the second online sales platform is configured to allow purchases using a cryptocurrency;
determine an accepted offer that is accepted, wherein determination of the accepted offer is based on one or more sales characteristics related to one or both of the first offer and/or the second offer, wherein the accepted offer is either the first offer or the second offer; and
effectuate transmissions of notifications to the first prospective buying user and the second prospective buying user that represent whether their respective offers have been accepted.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sales characteristics include an offer desirability metric that quantifies desirability of offers to purchase the particular virtual item.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first metric value of the offer desirability metric is related to the first offer and a second metric value of the offer desirability metric is related to the second offer.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to obtain (i) first information regarding a first sales listing of the particular virtual item on the first online sales platform, and (ii) second information regarding a second sales listing of the particular virtual item on the second online sales platform.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein determining the second metric value includes converting price information regarding the second offer to the fiat currency.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first metric value is based at least in part on one or more factors pertaining to one or more of a ranking of the prospective buying users, a rating of the prospective buying users, and a reputation of the prospective buying users.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the particular virtual item is offered for sale by a selling user.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the particular virtual item is usable within an online game.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sales characteristic related to the first offer is one or more of:
(i) a first ratio of cost to a buying user divided by third-party fees associated with the buying user purchasing the particular virtual item, and
(ii) a second ratio of profit for the system divided by the third-party fees associated with the buying user purchasing the particular virtual item, and
(iii) a sum of profit for the system and revenue for a selling user,
wherein the buying user made the accepted offer to purchase the particular virtual item.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to:
effectuate assignment of ownership of the particular virtual item to an account of the buying user,
wherein the assignment of the ownership of the particular virtual item is recorded on a decentralized database that stores a registry of assets and transactions, wherein the assets include the particular virtual item, wherein the decentralized database represents a blockchain.
11. A method for facilitating purchase offer selection across multiple online sales platforms, the method comprising:
receiving at least two indications of offers to purchase a particular virtual item, wherein the at least two indications of the offers include a first indication of a first offer received through a first online sales platform from a first prospective buying user and a second indication of a second offer received through a second online sales platform from a second prospective buying user, wherein the first online sales platform is configured to allow purchases using a fiat currency, and wherein the second online sales platform is configured to allow purchases using a cryptocurrency;
determining an accepted offer that is accepted, wherein determination of the accepted offer is based on one or more sales characteristics related to one or both of the first offer and/or the second offer, wherein the accepted offer is either the first offer or the second offer; and
effectuating transmissions of notifications to the first prospective buying user and the second prospective buying user that represent whether their respective offers have been accepted.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sales characteristics include an offer desirability metric that quantifies desirability of offers to purchase the particular virtual item.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein a first metric value of the offer desirability metric is related to the first offer and a second metric value of the offer desirability metric is related to the second offer.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first metric value is based at least in part on one or more factors pertaining to one or more of a ranking of the prospective buying users, a rating of the prospective buying users, and a reputation of the prospective buying users.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein determining the second metric value includes converting price information regarding the second offer to the fiat currency.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
obtaining (i) first information regarding a first sales listing of the particular virtual item on the first online sales platform, and (ii) second information regarding a second sales listing of the particular virtual item on the second online sales platform.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the particular virtual item is offered for sale by a selling user.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the particular virtual item is usable within an online game.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sales characteristic related to the first offer is one or more of:
(i) a first ratio of cost to a buying user divided by third-party fees associated with the buying user purchasing the particular virtual item, and
(ii) a second ratio of profit for the system divided by the third-party fees associated with the buying user purchasing the particular virtual item, and
(iii) a sum of profit for the system and revenue for a selling user,
wherein the buying user made the accepted offer to purchase the particular virtual item.
20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
effectuating assignment of ownership of the particular virtual item to an account of the buying user,
wherein the assignment of the ownership of the particular virtual item is recorded on a decentralized database that stores a registry of assets and transactions, wherein the assets include the particular virtual item, wherein the decentralized database represents a blockchain.
