In Aetolia they have a peculiar sparring system that could be easily transposed here for traders. Basically people can put themselves up/take down from a list, and people who use the appropriate commands can see the people on the list.
So, for example...
Joe the alchemist has TRADEON activated.
Bob the herbalist has TRADEON activated.
Joanne the artisan has TRADEON activated.
Sue the artisan has TRADEON activated.
Mylora the jeweler has TRADEON activated.
Tiffany the elemental enchanter has TRADEON activated.
Fizban the cosmic enchanter has TRADEON activated.
Melissa is looking for someone to help stock her shop. She takes a quick peak at TW:
Bob, Fizban, Joanne, Joe, Mylora, Sue, Tiffany.
(*) Currently, there are 7 Lusternians on this Plane and 0 on other Planes.
Colours are used to distinguish the different trades (including the two variations of enchanting.)
Melissa wants more information. She takes a look at TRADE STATUS.
She could also narrow her result with a specific search; TW HERBALIST.
Bob.
(*) Currently, there is 1 Lusternian on this Plane and 0 on other Planes.
TRADEOFF would take you off the trade list.

It's still a good idea after all these years.

Why the hell don't we have this?

The trader could have config options for who they wanted to see that they are trading, kind of like manse/door perms. Trade config not magnagora, and magnagorans couldn't see that they were trading.

Or you could use market.
