At least one bid for the seat license is received over the computer network from the bidder, wherein the bidder offering a first bid for the seat license, that is at least equal to the asking price thereof, is designated as the buyer of the seat license. A trade is thereafter initiated whereby the seat license listing is removed from the seat license exchange and a trade status is established. A title to the seat license is then directed from the seller and received by the intermediary. Concurrently, a remittance at least equal to the first bid is directed from the buyer and received by the intermediary. Upon receiving a final approval of the trade from the issuer, the trade is completed by directing the title to the seat license to the buyer, directing a first portion of the remittance to the intermediary, directing a second portion of the remittance to the seller, and notifying the issuer of the completion of the trade. Associated methods and systems are also provided.Other References
