Issue: Incomplete Marketplace System with Missing Core Trading Functions

Description:

The marketplace system has extensive interfaces and models defined but many critical trading functions are incomplete or have placeholder implementations. This prevents proper item trading, auctions, and marketplace functionality.

Problems Identified:

1. Incomplete Item Listing: While move_to_market exists, it lacks proper validation and error handling
2. Missing Price Validation: No proper price validation or market fee calculations
3. Incomplete Auction System: Auction functions exist but lack proper bid validation and end logic
4. Missing Market Analytics: No tracking of market activity or statistics
5. Incomplete Escrow Management: Items are moved to escrow but escrow logic is incomplete

Code Issues Found:

// In MarketplaceActions - Line 158: Basic implementation but missing validation
fn move_to_market(ref self: ContractState, item_ids: Array<u256>, prices: Array<u256>) {
    // ... basic logic exists but missing:
    // - Price validation
    // - Market fee calculations
    // - Item availability checks
    // - Proper error handling
}

// In MarketplaceActions - Line 271: Missing fee calculations
fn purchase_item(ref self: ContractState, item_id: u256, quantity: u256) {
    // ... basic purchase logic but missing:
    // - Platform fee calculations
    // - Seller fee deductions
    // - Market analytics tracking
}

// In MarketplaceActions - Line 368: Incomplete auction logic
fn start_auction(ref self: ContractState, item_id: u256, duration: u64, starting_bid: u256) {
    // ... basic auction creation but missing:
    // - Duration validation
    // - Starting bid validation
    // - Auction state management
}

Specific Problems:

1. No Market Fees: Platform doesn't collect fees from transactions
2. Missing Price Validation: No minimum/maximum price limits
3. Incomplete Auction Logic: Auctions can be created but end logic is basic
4. No Market Analytics: No tracking of trading volume or popular items
5. Broken Escrow System: Items go to escrow but escrow management is incomplete

Impact:

• Medium Priority: Marketplace functionality is partially broken
• No revenue generation through trading fees
• Poor auction experience due to incomplete logic
• Missing market insights and analytics
• Potential security issues with escrow management

Recommended Solutions:

1. Add Market Fee System:

   fn calculate_market_fee(self: @ContractState, price: u256) -> u256 {
       let contract: Contract = world.read_model(0);
       let fee_percentage = 250; // 2.5% fee
       (price * fee_percentage) / 10000
   }
   
   fn purchase_item_with_fees(ref self: ContractState, item_id: u256, quantity: u256) {
       // ... existing logic ...
       let total_price = item.price * quantity;
       let platform_fee = self.calculate_market_fee(total_price);
       let seller_amount = total_price - platform_fee;
       
       // Transfer fees to platform
       client.transfer_from(caller, get_contract_address(), platform_fee);
       // Transfer to seller
       client.transfer_from(caller, item.owner, seller_amount);
   }

2. Implement Price Validation:

   fn validate_price(self: @ContractState, price: u256) -> bool {
       let min_price = 1000; // Minimum price in wei
       let max_price = 1000000000000000000000; // Maximum price
       price >= min_price && price <= max_price
   }

3. Complete Auction System:

   fn end_auction_with_validation(ref self: ContractState, auction_id: u256) {
       let mut auction: Auction = world.read_model(auction_id);
       
       // Validate auction can be ended
       assert(auction.active, 'AUCTION_NOT_ACTIVE');
       assert(get_block_timestamp() >= auction.end_time, 'AUCTION_NOT_ENDED');
       
       // Check if there were any bids
       if auction.highest_bidder == auction.item.owner {
           // No valid bids - return item to seller
           self.return_item_to_seller(auction.item_id);
       } else {
           // Complete the sale
           self.complete_auction_sale(auction);
       }
   }

4. Add Market Analytics:

   fn track_market_activity(ref self: ContractState, item_id: u256, action: felt252, price: u256) {
       let mut world = self.world_default();
       let mut analytics: MarketAnalytics = world.read_model(0);
       
       match action {
           'LISTED' => analytics.total_listings += 1,
           'SOLD' => {
               analytics.total_sales += 1;
               analytics.total_volume += price;
           },
           'BID' => analytics.total_bids += 1,
           _ => {}
       }
       
       world.write_model(@analytics);
   }

5. Implement Escrow Management:

   fn manage_escrow(ref self: ContractState, item_id: u256, action: felt252) {
       let contract: Contract = world.read_model(0);
       let erc1155 = IERC1155Dispatcher { contract_address: contract.erc1155 };
       
       match action {
           'DEPOSIT' => {
               // Item already in escrow from move_to_market
           },
           'RELEASE' => {
               // Release item to buyer
               erc1155.safe_transfer_from(contract.escrow_address, buyer, item_id, 1, array![].span());
           },
           'RETURN' => {
               // Return item to seller
               erc1155.safe_transfer_from(contract.escrow_address, seller, item_id, 1, array![].span());
           },
           _ => {}
       }
   }
