If i have a vendor and give up business 3, what happens to the vendor?
Will it be destroyed?

it would not be destroyed. it would remain. This is considered an exploit by merchants and the devs will be fixing this.
It is not recommended you exploit. If you wish to have the benefits of the merchant profession (which our only real benefit is vendor...even bus3) keep the points invested or just give up your vendor.

This change probably won't be happening any time soon, and so many people are using this exploit that the DEV's have stated they will give some kind of warning before non skillpoint supported venders are destroyed. That said, the poster above is correct, its not good to exploit, and this will be changed at some point.

true, many people do indeed do this. Many 'true' merchants believe this has had a sweeping impact to the profession. ie: some of us believe that we would have received fixes and enhancement long ago without this occuring as there would have been a much greater outcry for improvements and features.
Now we are also facing item limits on vendors, in part due to exploited vendors being used for storage. For some this won't be a big issue, but some require vast amounts of varied stock (like tailor, weaponsmith etc).
While we agree there needs to be better tools for crafters to 'wholesale' through merchants, but don't see these fixes, in part, because the 'masses' are happy with the current situation.
This fix is the number 1 merchant 'hitlist' item.
Many merchants feel it is unfair that others get to effectively spend an extra 64 skills points or whatever amount, that we keep invested.
