I've been selling Stim Pack B's on the Bazaar for 700 credits each as a way to support myself in the game.
Over the last couple days I have noticed that even though I sell them like crazy, I never seem to make much money. I always wrote it off as maybe I am spending more then I thought, and I don’t usually keep track of how much I spend or make.
Last night however I found out I was not getting paid my full amount for each sale. By coincidence I happened to pull all my money out of the bank, and then after stocking the Bazaar logged out. This morning I logged on and had many emails indicating that my Stims had sold.
I went to the Bazaar to restock and noticed only 2 were left for sale. Since I know I had a full 25 sales running before I logged this means I sold 22 overnight. However my bank balance only read 7000. It should have been 22 * 700 = 15400. This was strange but wrote it off as maybe somehow I was mixed up about how many I sold or maybe the email notification system is bugged.
But the final proof came when as soon as I had finished stocking the Bazaar email arrived that 2 of my Stims had sold for 700 each. I verified this by looking at My Sales on the Bazaar and I was down to 23 open sales. But my bank balance was only 7900. Even if the initial 7000 was correct the 2 sales should have put me at 8400.
I opened a Ticket on this right away, but find it hard to believe a system as integral to the Star Wars Universe could be this broken. By my calculations I am only making about 45 – 65 percent of what I should, and have sold about 100 Stims so far. I figure this has cost me 35000 credits so far.
It is possible that something I don’t understand is going on. Maybe payment is delayed, or some goes to your personal money and some to your bank, although this has been observed in the past. Or maybe the system really is broken, or maybe I am just broken.
Has anyone noticed anything similar?
Thanks

Going to have to check this out... I also sell a fair amount of stim's on the bazaar. It *seemed* like I had less than what I should have.

Today it seems that 4000 units of metal resources that i'd put on sale at the bazaar yesterday, have simply vanished. Wheeee, that's nice.
