A lot of ads will say if they are willing to negotiate prices and such. As well as trades.

I belonged to one on Facebook, and every Scentsy, Mary Kay, Avon, etc, etc, rep was on there. I like and buy these products, but there are so many of them, they overcame the page, so I quit.

I think that's between buyer and seller. With Revenue Canada (CRA) implications, it's not likely any website owner would even go down that road.

Bartering has been going on forever and was around long before our current monetary system. It has never really stopped. I think a web page for that would be quite useful!  
 
I don't see how it would have any CRA implications. As long as the person offering a product or service isn't in the line of trade it isn't a real issue. If your electrician friend offers to re-wire your home and you are an accountant who does his taxes in return, there may be implications: it just needs to be reported as equal income and expense in your books and becomes a wash! No big deal!

This one cites CTV: http://www.swapsity.ca/landing  
Is this the site they mentioned?  
 
After doing a search, I saw quite a few swapping sites for individuals and businesses in Canada.  
 
Bartering is a good system as long as understanding and respect are in place.
