I think there would be a huge benefit if there was a trade command that let someone instantly trade with you upon accepting the trade. It would also stop scams in drop trading around the spawn with people following you to pick up the goods that are dropped. I think this would also limit the lag at spawn from players going there to trade.

the command could be something like this:
/trade [quantity and item you are to give] [User you are trading with] [what user is giving you]
ex: /trade 64:dirt Andrewkm $100000
In this example, i would be giving 64 dirt, and Andrewkm would give $100,000

And to accept this trade it could be something like:
/taccpet [username] -or- /tyes [username]
ex: /taccept Foanma -or- /tyes [Foanma]
This is what Andrewkm would type if he wishes to accept the trade.

To decline could be as simple as:
/tdecline -or- /tno
Name wouldn't be needed because you are just declining, and there is no risk of this.

If accepted, the item would be placed in your inventory or balance, but if your inventory is full, it would be dropped on the ground for you to pick up. Make sure you are in a safe spot like your home and near a chest.

I think this would help greatly in trading user to user when you are on, and the use of making a trade sign just to trade would not be needed. Also the trade of bulk would be faster if both of you are standing at your own chests filling inventory for trade and emptying after, useful when buying dirt and cobblestone :)

EXCEPTIONS:
Renamed objects would not be tradeable like this to avoid confusion of what is being receive, and to prevent sending the wrong item.
Echanted items would need special names such as:
-----diamond shovel with enchantments unbreaking III efficiency III and Silktouch I:
-----dsu3e3s1
-----it looks confusing but it is easily translated to what the item is.
Or echanted items would still have to be drop traded.

I would really like some feed back on if this would help people, and maybe get

andrewkm to give his input saying if it would be possible or not.

 

is it really? how is it anymore complex then setting up a trade sign, or arranging a spot to trade someone, atleast this is a way to be more secure

 

but then the person you are trading with won't know what they are receiving...

 

mmmmm i looked for where it should go, but couldn't find the right spot, but if that is where it goes, could someone move it there? im sorry

 

kinda just like that tag? i am just hoping he sees this and takes a look, your tag was useless :/

 

but the idea is so you wouldn't have to meet up somewhere and it could be done quick AND SAFE.

I think it would appeal most to people buying large quantities of things that they would need to put into a chest in order to get more. I am sure that more valuable items like diamonds Nstars and enchanted items would still be traded using trade signs to eliminate risk of loosing anything because of a possible typo, but it should appeal to a large audience

 

o ok, but i still think it would be very handy

 

the trade station is the market, and the server market. but i often don't find what i need, or for the price i want.

 

i totally agree, even if it was just for server sold items for less confusion. it still would be very handy!
