Abstract

A digital item tracking system drives e-commerce with an order state that is determined based on processing events, shipping events and payment events. When a transaction occurs in a peer-to-peer marketplace the order state is updated as events occur through the point that an order is accepted by a buyer. The order can also cause an exception in which reverse digital item tracking is needed.
