            Can upload goods he or she wants to exchange and select goods he or she want to exchange it for
            ALl upload-able goods must be categorized.. That is all goods must fall into a category to enable search and upload queires.
            Can publish/fire these requests. Not until you fire a trade request it remains in your profile or wishList.
            Note: All fired request must be approved in order to be displayed on major pages other than the user's profile page.
            Yet to be approved goods take residence ONLY in the user's arena.

                Show pages containing completed transactions, pending transactions and interested goods..

         Goods
         ALl goods on the home page must be approved before publishing..
         When an interest is shown for a good with the necessary match. This should take this person to the goods author's page for contact details and to see other important details of this autor such as
         - Last Seen, Chat the author up, Contact Number, transaction records, successful transactions e.t.c.
         Newly approved trades are given precedence over old goods...
         All trades have an expiration period to keep the system clean.. If a trade is not completed and it has expried it could be re-activated by the author for re-publishing ..
