The site is built with Drupal 5. Some highlights:

• The site uses the Internationalization module to handle the dual-language aspects of the site.
• Panels 2 is used extensively to present content in context. For example, Company listing pages show associated products produced by that company.
• Buyers have two main ways to reach out to sellers for products they are looking to purchase. They can use a contact form on the company page. They can also submit a generalized "wanted" form which will be viewed by all sellers.
• The site uses the Node Profile module for robust user profiles with different profile fields available to buyers and sellers.
• Coding help provided by Zivtech.
