Could some one please tell me how to go about selling my crafted items in a shop please.
Do i need to own a shop?
If not how do I rent a spot?
Do I have to stay in the shop and wait for someone to come in or do you get another character to wait in there? If so how?
Also,
I have started mining a few resources I see that you can sell items up to a value of 20k on the bazaar how do i go about selling these minerals I am mining in bulk?
Your help is much appreciated!

Regarding shops, you can apply to a popular town, (like Brenn or SWOOP on Naboo) that gets alot of traffic for people looking for stuff to buy, and if someone allows you to have a vendor in their shop then they will arrange cost and stuff with you to set up your vendor. If you are a master artisan you will be allowed two vendors total in the galaxy and they can only be a vendor bartender (just the name not necessarily for selling beverages) or a bulky terminal. If you spend the extra 6 points and take Novice Merchant then you can select NPCs as a vendor and can place up to 3 total I believe. Now that I believe covers vendors. Oh also when you have placed and activated your vendor you will want to activate vendor search under the options radial menu of vendor. This will place your goods to be searchable under VENDER SEARCH on the bizzarre.
The bizzarre is a good place to start selling too, most resources you can put up on there and if you want to sell more than 20k value of resources just split the container up into the smallest stacks that you can price at 20k depending on what cost per unit (cpu) you want to place on your resources. Most inorganics on the bizzar will be between 1-8 cpu with 3-5 being average that I noticed but this changes from galaxy to galaxy.
Now you asked about shops, well the first shop most people have is in their house, if you can get a good location for your house or in your guild town if your a guild memeber where there may be a mall set up. A guild mate or friend may also have a merchant tent that they can give you permission to have a vendor in there. If you go this route, especially in your house make sure you enable vendor search or no one will ever know it is there except by word of mouth. If you want to go it on your own what you need to do is run your max vendors until you can get the merchant xp (and max out things you can sell on the bizzar (max=25) to grind out 0400 in the merchant proffession, this allows you to place a merchant tent, then you just have to find a sweet spot for it and rinse and repeat setting up your vendors (remembering to enable the vendor search). If anyone else can think of something too add pls do and I hope this helps.
I did think of one other thing grinding to 4400 Merchant will also give you the best advertising options possible, putting you on the planet map. So you may want to grind 4000 merchant before adding the next tree until you get 4/4/0/0. The first tree in merchant is for advertising and the second (when filled) will allow you to place a merchant tent. All the while you should be allowed more options to your vendors and more vendors you can place.
