1. A transaction system, comprising:
- a plurality of client computing devices that are networked by one or more server computing machines of a network;
the one or more server computing machines of the network enable establishment of a relationship between two or more accounts of two or more client computing devices of the plurality of client computing devices based on a predetermined criteria, with the two or more client computing devices with related accounts forming related client computing devices;
one or more server computing machines of the network allow transaction between the related client computing devices only, while excluding non-related but networked client computing devices from transaction within the network.

2. A transaction system, comprising:
-
a plurality of client computing devices that are networked by one or more server computing machines of a first network; the one or more server computing machines of the first network enable establishment of a relationship between two or more accounts of two or more client computing devices of the plurality of client computing devices based on a first predetermined criteria, with the two or more client computing devices with networked accounts forming networked client computing devices; two or more of the networked client computing devices are further networked on one or more server computing machines of a second network that is associated with the one or more server computing machines of the first network based on a second predetermined criteria to form related client computing devices; one or more server computing machines of the second network allow transaction between the related client computing devices only, while excluding non-related client computing devices from transactions on the second network.

3. A method for transaction, comprising:
-
networking client computing devices; establishing a relationship between accounts of two or more networked client computing devices; allowing transactions only between two or more networked client computing devices with established relationships while excluding other networked client computing devices from transaction.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions stored that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
-
establishing relationships between two or more accounts of networked client computing devices based on a predetermined criteria, resulting in related client devices; allowing transaction only between the related client computing devices with established relationship between accounts, whiled excluding networked but non-related client computing devices.

5. A system for categorizing products for transactions, comprising:
-
a client computing device through a client device browser transmits a request to a network-based social-marketplace platform to generate an electronic category; the network based social-marketplace platform transmits back an electronic category record to the client computing device, which is displayed by the client computing device browser to enable generation of the electronic category; client computing device transmits the electronic category record with set values for attributes of the electronic category record to the network-based social-marketplace platform, with the electronic category record and values of the attributes thereof stored within database servers computing machines of the network-based social-marketplace platform; the stored electronic category record includes one or more attributes and respective values thereof that associate the electronic category record with an electronic client record of a client account. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A system for generating relations on a network for transactions, comprising:
-
a client computing device transmits a generate relations request to network-based social-marketplace platform to network with other client computing devices on network-based social-marketplace platform, which have a preexisting relationship with the client computing device on a network-based social-media platform; the network based social-marketplace platform receives and transmits the generate relations request to the network-based social-media platform for generating an electronic relations record for an account of the client computing device; network-based social-media platform receives the generate relations request from the network-based social-marketplace platform and retrieves and generates an electronic record of networked users accounts of a user profile connected with client computing device based on client account of a client profile stored on network-based social-marketplace platform; the electronic record of networked users accounts is transmitted to the client computing device by network-based the social-media platform, includes a listing of the networked users accounts; the client computing device transmits an invitation to selected users accounts from electronic record of networked users accounts to the network-based social-media platform; the network-based social-media platform transmits electronic invitations to the selected networked users accounts. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
