What is the upper limit on how much maintenance can be paid to a vendor? Millions? And is it possible to retrieve all the maintenance at one time (again - millions?)? Thanks!

Never hit a cap, and you can withdraw every penny.

Handy to keep money in so you don't accidentally tip 10m instead of 10k to that twi'lek dancer at the cantina

tip limit is 1mil

Same difference -- it still prevents overtipping

I had the same thing happen. To make it worse, when I put a ton of cash on the vendor it said it had 84 days left but was still at 32%. I have not had a chance to check yet whether logging has updated this.

Don't worry about it. Vendors only check maintenance once per hour, so it won't update the status until the next maintenance check.

Yeah.. it seems like my Vendors condition is like 65% but when I put in maint. it adds the maint. but does not repair vendor damage...

What happens to your vendors when they reach 0 maintenance and 0 condition?

I had put a date when they run out on my notepad but I had obviously miscalculated and when I checked them today they were less than 10% Condition. My question is do they poof with all my items on them or do they just stay there?

This seems to have changed recently. Not long ago, the cost to repair would climb, but theykept on working fine.

Today, I visited a vendor I hadn't been at for quite a while (a starship vendor with lots of inventory), and it had run out of maintenance. This one now says it is inactivated for lack of maintenance, and won't let me sell anything on it. This seems erratic, earlier in the session I had recycled its inventory from another planet so nothing would expire, and that worked fine.

While this seems to me to be desirable behaviour, I paid the maintainance and the problem did not go away. It last showed 30,000 (no comma of course) in reserves, and 11,000 or so cost to repair, and was still inactive. I seem to recall that behaviour before (It didn't fix itself right away), but that wasn't a problem when they still worked even though far in the hole. I hope that it will be ok tomorrow.

Since you can't put anything up for sale when it is inactive, the vendor will eventually poof for lack of merchandise, but that will take a month or so. I don't know what a customer sees if they look at an inactive vendor, but I did have some sales recently off the inactive one.
