If people used the party search and party form functions (along with slight changes to it to make it slightly easier to use) this could solve the problems you are talking about
Oddly enough, most people like to buy and sell items...haha. Also, you are getting ahead of urself by assuming theres going to be spam. How much spam do you see now in the only channel people use (uldah shout)? Not much - why? well the population is small, among other reasons. In other games, a global channel can be controlled by putting it on a 1 min cd or having to use a hard-to-get consumable item when you want to talk in this channel. this was already mentioned.
Also, you could leave a channel if you don't want to be in it. Don't be so antisocial guys, this is a MMO after all.
