I have a possible solution for some of the problems discussed. If a seller doesn't want to allow piecemeal, but I can offer to buy enough, they might be willing to sell, but if they are in their offline grace period, (I vote 1 hour, btw), then you can't reach them. How about being able to log a counter offer so that when they log back in, they can see it and agree or disagree. (Provided, of course that they log back in before the timeout.) This way there is incentive to check back in periodically and yet you don't have to sit a wait for somebody to buy what you have. If you need to take a break for dinner, you can, but you'd better log back in as soon as the dishes are done.
