Crossword Genius

He looks for a way to sell his wares (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

street trader

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sell his wares' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'he looks for a way' is the wordplay.
'he looks' becomes 'trader' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'a way' becomes 'street' (street is a kind of way).
'trader' after 'street' is 'STREET TRADER'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for street trader that I've seen is " Eg, costermonger, barrow boy".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
