Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an online trading system may include a computing device comprising a processor, an information database, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to access product information on one or more products in the information database, to prompt a first user to input search information for at least one product via a user interface, to receive the search information provided by the first user input, and to search the product information based on the first user input. Systems and methods further display a search result formulated using the product information and corresponding to the first user input, and prompt the first user to input information on a specific product. The specific product is then settled to the first user either initially, or after inputs from a second user in response to the first user placing a purchase order.
