If the other person had the addon installed, it could provide them with a GUI for checking your prices and placing orders, so they didn't have to type the whispers out themselves.
Granted "simple solution" is a bit of a misnomer, as this would not be a simple project by any means, and I have absolutely no interest (or time) to work on such a project, but it would be (sort of) possible.

I agree, this sounds like a big boy to create but.. It would be awesome. Like a trade channel revolution!
