Abstract: A method of controlling negotiations between a first party and a second party with respect to an item listed on an electronic-commerce platform having a restricted market is disclosed. Based on a submission of a received offer amount and a received quantity corresponding to the offer amount, a first round of a predetermined number of rounds of the negotiations is initiated. The first round includes displaying a counteroffer entry region comprising a location for receiving a counteroffer amount and a quantity corresponding to the counteroffer amount from the first party. Based on a submission of the received counteroffer amount and the received quantity corresponding to the counteroffer amount, a current approved price region comprising a location for a current approved price and a current approved quantity is updated. Via optional actions in an action region, the second party is allowed to participate in a second round of the negotiations.
