Yea, not a thing, and I’ve even tried logging out and logging back in tons of times, exiting game because it’s faster than the 20 sec log out time.
i had him targeted and swam until he wasn’t in range anymore if that helps
Ok, I’ve stayed clicked on him and swam away a few times until it clicked off of him and swam back, and it worked after I’m gonna say the 3rd try?

After spending over an hour (!!) trying various methods of getting this NPC to interact with me, I finally hearthed out, went back to the capital, took the portal again, and rode all the way back here…
And he still isn’t working!
Tried multiple things (Exit, Reload, swim away and then back) and it finally worked when I Logged Out (not Exit) in front of Max Megablast (no helmet on) and then I logged back in and he started the speech bubble like he does when you first arrive there and then I could finally interact with him and buy the dumb jelly jam. I hope that helps someone 
Sorry about all this…
This was the only thing that worked for me as well. Waited 'til he was right next to the sub and could interact with him like a normal vendor.

So, my total of logging out/in of 15 times, reloading ui 5 times, swimming out and back 7 times FINALLY did the trick. I couldn’t tell you what order I did what in, because honestly I don’t remember. I’m just happy after over an hour later I’m finally done trying to get this guy to talk to me. Felt like I was back in HS where guys just ignored me. Thanks Blizz =(
Tried this multiple times - even going so far as the zone edge to the south & to the north-east - no success.
This worked for me. With Max still targeted, I swam away until the target dropped then swam back. He had teleported to a new location (very close to the submarine) and just right clicked.
Neither of those worked for me either.
Why would they? As helpful as that would be for the players who have spent hours trying to find a workaround that get the vendor to interact with us, Blizzard haven’t cared about the players that much since Cataclysm came out.
This is gonna be a “tough luck kid - but there are other choices for traveler’s points, so just do those” situations…
