Fetch data about free cells amount in container with "Hand That Takes" and display label with warning in a respective Shopbox widget if its inventory is full. Well, exact amount of free space clusters - as payment may require more than 1 cell - would be pretty neat.
Hopefully it would be a minor change that improves convenience of high intense stands use greatly.

Should be implemented, because system that is alive now is encourages fraud.

Other option being to disable the trading of items until there is space to hold amount the buyer is paying by not displaying those items.

I'd say go with the method that provides as little information necessary to the buyers to minimize potential spying for raiding. The old raid mechanics were bad as it made markets and server wide activities risky, but the current mechanics are a bit zealous because of the difficulty in accomplishing anything. A middle ground will be found at some point, and it'd suck to have to change all other mechanics touched because the future changes haven't been considered.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Surely it doesn't payout the goods without room for the payment? Will consider in any event.

Sure, it doesn't

It's all about QoL. Hate to find out I wasted a day traveling to a market (or recovering TW) just to stumble upon inaccessible shopbox.
Pretty please, consider adding any kind of indication. Or just let us know it will not happen, i think we can take "no" as answer : )
