Abstract
Virtual shopping parties on a peer-to-peer marketplace are facilitated. A virtual party initiated is reserved by a user of the peer-to-peer marketplace. The virtual party comprises a specific set of items available to a specific set of users during a specific time span. A theme is set for the virtual shopping party dictating parameters for whether an item can be added to the virtual shopping party. The theme also dictates parameters for who can add an item to the virtual shopping party. Invitations are sent for the virtual shopping party to the specific set of users, based on the theme. A customized feed is then presented to each of the set of users that join the virtual shopping party.
