I imagine the founders of Readbeacon (http://www.redbeacon.com/ http://www.redbeacon.com/) will be happy to read this post. The first challenge I can think of for someone creating a service like this is spam. If I put out a request for patio furniture, how does your service prevent all sorts of other vendors from replying to my request and trying to sell me something other than patio furniture?

The easiest way would be to require a small payment to submit a "bid". Non-serious sellers won't pay.

  And, further, show more prominently the sellers that have the best conversion rates, which you both could monitor via an intuitive analytics package.

    Hmm. how about making the conversation between the vendor and the ad poster public?

One good solution would be to an vendors who don't follow the rules.
