While we're at it can we fix our item deconstruction lists from jumping around everytime we deconstruct an item?

The two are not even in the least bit related. You might have a case in stating the popularity supports the desire for a more intuitive search feature within the current system. Beyond that you have nothing.
Have you seen the Tamriel Trade Centre website and looked at the details of the add-on? They emulate as best as they can a global trading house that allows people to see where items are for sale across Tamriel and for how much so people can find what they need and at the lowest price possible.

And as long as it stays the way it is I'm ok with it. It's basically like the classified section of a newspaper.
We don't need a centralized global AH. At most we just need some UI improvements. We've gone over this a thousand times already. AH ain't happening and that is a very good thing.

I agree with you that they need to sit down and finish what they started. It does not take 5 minutes for me (more like 5 seconds), so I don't see any performance issues on PC. That said, they still need to pay attention to what they release and take the time to sit down and finish what they start. In a timely manner.
I quoted the above because I am fairly sure that a global store would be anything but streamlined. Figure a couple million items in the store inventory, with thousands of players adding and removing items from that list constantly. What you see on your screen would be almost certainly out of date as soon as it was put there. Searching and categorized displays would take a long time to resolve and load, and again, would be out of date instantly. I would expect nothing but frustration. It would not be better than what we have today. It would just be "global".
[removed unnecessary paragraph]
ZOS needs to finish what they start. Guild stores, guild banks, and mail system all need a QoL update. That is just the start of the list. I am desperately hoping that when Matt Firor said that the 1Q18 DLC was going to be an "update full of quality-of-life improvements and additions" that he meant a lot more than just transmutation and housing storage.

Meanwhile on PS4 just earlier this week you could find Breton Wrought Iron Chandiliers for 12,999 Gold. As of today only one person, spanning 4-5 Guild Traders is selling them and they have hiked the price up to 110k Gold.
But, but, but...according to the trading "gurus" on these forums, this can only happen with a global trading house. Have we encountered another dragon break? Or is this just a glitch in the matrix? Oh dear, I should've taken the BLUE pill.

It is a lot more work in the current system to accomplish that. With the global trading all one had to do was sit in the game running an addon that monitored the global store and be instantly informed of anyone trying to sell something like that Breton item. In some cases, the add-on would buy it for you and repost it at your price.
With the ESO system, a single player has to monitor 191 guild traders or a team of people (a guild) has to do it. Of course, not all guild traders are like the others, so not all of them need to be checked, but there are still quite a few.
So, in the global store, if that Breton item were to appear, within seconds it would be gone. Only people watching for that item at the time it was posted would even have a chance. By the time a human saw it and decided whether to buy it, it would be gone. Nay. The human would probably never see it at the original price. With ESO, there is a chance that someone can sell the Breton item to someone else before that person could come along and buy it so they can resell it at 110k.
No its more like an sort of price barometer web page. It only list prices offered so you get some under priced stuff from players don't knowing the value and lots of overpriced one, the under priced one is gone then you visit the store.Despite what some may say or believe, the ever growing popularity of Tamriel Trade Centre lends even more support for the playerbase's desire for a global trading/auction house.

The bank sucks. Needs more tabs. Sort by type, sort by slot, sort by set etc..
