I'll preface this by saying that I don't trade enough to care about trade CD in the least...
But maybe the trades should be more inconvenient. I don't think the CD is enough, honestly. The way things are set up now, the vending machine prices are basically used as bargaining chips for /trade requests of those items instead of people actually using the vending machines. "The store at R16 has xxxxx on sale for this much, you should beat that price" kind of thing. Why bother setting up a shop at that point if people are just going to be constantly undercutting your price because of the convenience of /trade?
Any thoughts of implementing a cap cost as well? Similar to revives in the more you do over x amount of time, the more caps it costs you?
I think the /friend TP thing seems to be used more to TP to some random who is close to where you want to be instead of having to walk across the map (which I think should have more of a cost as well, but whatever). I've done it myself to help people, and have definitely taken a look at what they had on them in the time between their TP and waking up from their TP, which is what came to mind with Corcustos' response. If that's what you're worried about, I believe you can remove them as a friend after the TP was accepted and it'll still let you TP.
