A「person」who「trades goods and services.」…but more likely, someone who「trades in buying and selling people」as slaves or offering them as short-term rentals.
　Someone who trades in sexual services, an INTERMEDIARY, or the pimp (male or female) providing short-term rentals of service providers. In the old days of China, this position was often undertaken by a shaman who purchased untrained raw material, no-longer-integrated the feet bones and bound them, began work-in-process schooling of the arts, and then either sold the finished asset to a wealthy merchant or lord, or, rented the meat for short term use by clients. Perhaps the foot-dis-integrating task is why today these folks are still referred to as BROKERS.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: great; good; middleman; servant; price; value; valence (on an atom)
Japanese: price, cost, value, worth, merit, count, number, variable
Unihan extended: price, value
EDRDG: price; value

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
