Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a barter system in a network environment. The systems and methods facilitate a transaction between two (traders) in a group of users in a communication network (such as the Internet) in which the transaction is for an exchange of goods/services. The first user would have access to all of the items the second users (from the group of potential second users) is offering and/or wanting, and then would make an offer of swapping particular goods of both the first and second users. The system and methods likewise facilitate a transaction between more than two users (such as a three-way swap) in an exchange of goods/services.
