Online trading community

Online trading community

An online trading community provides participants with a structured method for trading, bartering, or selling goods and services. These communities often have forums andchatrooms designed to facilitate communication between the members. An online trading community can be likened electronic equivalent of a bazaarflea market, or garage sale.

One of the earliest trading sites on the internet (with exception to eBay which accepts cash transactions for all goods) was Game Trading Zone. The domain name ugtz.com was implemented in an independent database in the spring 1999. This was a departure from simply listing items on a forum or text document. The database helped traders by showing them a list of potential trading matches, and showed historical transactions as well.
