Thread: Vendor Issue...Help Please:(
You should be able to click "Sell Item" in the bottom right corner of the vendor UI window, it will open a second window showing your inventoty with a box to describe and set price, you can navigate in that to the backpack if needed.
Can you describe exactly what you do step by step and what you see (as an example if it works you should see something like:
Use radial to "Use Vendor"
See Vendor ui open with three areas, first top left a four selection box (vendor/region/planet/galaxy) right a list of items, bottom left a list of categories (as per bazaar)
Use "sell item" button
See sell ui open with four areas, top left = inventory, bottom left = item examine, top right = price set, bottom right = description text box.
Select item in inventory part of above box
See item appear in bottom left.
Enter price
Enter description
Click Accept (not in game, might be called Sell item)
Click Refresh on main vendor UI (ensure set to view vendor and All items)
See item appear on main vendor window with time to sell of 30d (or 29d 59m)
Recieve e-mail from vendor to say working properly (although e-mails on TC have been bugged and you get the wrong one, you should still receive an e-mail)
If you have a step above that isn't working can you please describe or post a screenshot of the affected window (hosting services supplied at www.imagedump.com)
The view for your vendor might be stuck looking inside a backpack or buggy somehow.
When you go to the view to sell things it should start at your normal inventory level. But if you want you can double click on a backpack or other bag to look inside to sell items inside it. When you do this, there should be a little up arrow around the top left of the window right above the inventory view. Try looking for that arrow and click on it.
Oh... another thing I've found is that sometimes resizing the window for selling items helps. I've seen that the sell window doesn't see items in my inventory particularly if they have newly been added, and resizing the window to stretch it out helps see the other items. But this probably isn't the issue if your vendor sale window isn't seeing anything in your inventory at all.
There is an old bug with items in backpacks disappearing when transitioning across structure boundaries. I think this had to do with synchronization of items in containers when the containers go across the boundaries of other containers, in this case houses. It's probably a lag related glitch. Try opening all the containers outside the vendor interface to make sure the items are present.

Are you wearing a backpack? Are the items you are trying to sell in the backpack? When I try to sell items on my vendor if they are in a backpack vs. just in my inventory I can't see the items. I can see the backpack but not the actual items. I have to take them out of the equiped backpack to sell them.
PS. you can sell the whole back pack with items in it just saying if you are only looking for individual items and only seeing backpack it might be confusing.

Hi Red Dwarf,
Im at work now so I cant go into to much detail *looks over shoulder* but to give you an idea...I have placed the vendor, I DID receive an email saying something to the effect of "Vendor Created". The vendor status says it is 100%, it has 20k in maintance pool.
1. I click on the vendor and use the radial menu and select "use vendor"
2. I select "sell an item"
3. The vendor then opens my backpack (the screen where I set a price)
Now my issue is that no matter what the object is NOTHING appears in the backpack (on the screen where I am to select an item and set the price). It does not seem to recognize that I am carrying anything. Basicly I get to this stage you described....
"See sell ui open with four areas, top left = inventory, bottom left = item examine, top right = price set, bottom right = description text box.
Select item in inventory part of above box
See item appear in bottom left."
My vendor does not seem to relize I have anything in my inventory, Its just blank (the screen that has the tabs that say "backpack/datapad" on top of the box that would show ones items)It does pull up the items in my datapad (does me no good) but not the items in my inventory/backpack, nothing to select, my items do not appear. I am familiar with selling at the barzar and dont have any issues with that,my items always appear on the left, in the inventory box, just for what ever reason its not working with my vendor
....Sorry I cant post screen shots (at work) but do you have any other suggestions?
Think of it like this... you have 5 rifles to sell in your character inventory, when you go to sell them on your vendor, the vendor opens your inventory and does not show the 5 rifles. I am unable to select an item to sell as no items appear...
HEEELLLLLPPPPPP........
....ps I play Shadowfire (dont know if it matters)
Best Regards,

I don't know if this will help but came across a issue when reverse engineering (using lots of different backpacks pulling them on and off my vendor)
What I came a across was if I have selected a pack and emptied all items from it onto my vendor then dropped the backpack into the room (without closing the backpack option on the sales screen)
the vendor still registered the interior of my backpack on the sales screen thus showing no items available for sale and as the pack was not in my inventory could not close the backpack option on the sales screen
only way i could get around this would be to pick up the backpack close the backpack option in the sales screen
