Basically a chat channel for trading.  This way you can offer up that new enchanted book, or pick and only be sending the message to the people interested in buying the goods.  I feel this would remove the spam that occurs in the global chat and make the global chat a more focus and relative chat channel to be apart of.

There are a few problems to this.

First of all, how would you know who is interested in what goods and who is not?
Second, if you want to talk to people privately over goods, there is always /pm, /msg, /tell, etc.

While this function is in place,  I find that nobody uses it and it becomes very annoying.

I don't think you get what sniper is saying. The idea is that a secondary global channel for doing trades would be added. That way people don't pop into global all the time trying to sell stuff. It would default to enabled, but you could mute it if it bugged you. That way players who are not going to be interested in trading can avoid hearing about it.

/tell is private, if I want to advertise to everyone I need to say something in open chat. Sure the details can be done in /tell or local - but the initial advertisement could be in trade chat.

I agree with this. You know there is too much trade chat when half of the chat history is taken up by advertisements of players. A trading chat would (hopefully) get rid of this. Although I do think this would make the /advertise thing a bit useless.
