I had this problem in Business III too. Business IV the Robo Droid does the same thing.

So the robo droid works for some people?

I had the same problem, there are other threads on this, too. The only known solution is to get Novice Merchant (6 skill points, 900 merchant XP) and use a NPC vendor. To get merchant XP, you need to have a robo or terminal vendor sitting, initialized in your house. You get~100 merchant XP per day, it took me about a week. I think you also get some XP if people pay a fee (even 1 credit) to enter one of your buildings; they can give you XP only once every 15 minutes or so, so don't try to spam it with a friend.

These numbers are probably off, look for a thread with more certain numbers, but this is the general concept.

Ok but.. what **edit** i can get novice merchant if dont can put a vendor in my house? and yes..also terminal vendor it does not work to me..

there is an other way in order to obtain merchant exp ?

I had the same problem with the bulky Vendor at Bus III to fix it I just kept removing it and dropping new ones in a different spot untill it worked. Kind of a pain in the ass, but it only took about 3 times to work.

ok i will try so fladdyr..thx to alls for help

This horrible bug has been reported to death, and still they do nothing about it.

Try this (it worked for us once): Drop the bulky/robot vendor, and initialize it WITHOUT MOVING IT!! Don't rotate it or move it in any way. We had it work for us, but since then no one has dropped one of these vendors. Instead, we got novice merchant so we could drop NPC's.

Okay I had this bug with the Business III and IV vendors. Here is the solution:

First place your vendor. Then hit initalize vendor. Then again hit Initalize vendor. Might have to wait a second for it to appear. You should then have access you the vendor now. Put some money into it and enjoy. This fix works for both the Business III and IV vendors.

What I'm going to start doing is everytime I can't setup a vendor, I'm going to /bug report it and put it in a CSR ticket. If I can't set it up after 10 times, I'll submit it 10 times. I get bored sometimes and I'll have time to start filling these out. If they want to know it's a bug, they'll get 100 /bug reports and I'll let the CSR's know that this is a REAL problem that we won't ignore. I would like to encourage every other artisan that can't use the artisan vendors to do the same. Remember the sqeaky wheel gets the grease.
