I am really anoyed by this bug... i have a house near kaadara that i use for storage. Everytime i pickup an item in it and i go back to kaadara the iteam simply dissapear from my inventory as soon as i hit the" server bondary" of the kaadara zone.
I have to log out from the game for at least 25 minutes then the items are back in my inventory...
Anyway to get around that bug???

I haven't seen this bug for a looong time.
Looks like, for now, all you can do is log out after the item dissapears and wait for a solve soon.

I have just had this exact same problem. Picked up 12 buff packs from an unlocked container in my house just outside Kaadara, went to the starport and noticed they had disappeared. Logged out 20 minutes ago and about to go back in. I paid 312000 credits for them !!!
I'll post back if they do not re-appear!

I would move- If going from your place of business to whereever you go involves crossing a boundary a lot, it can be dangerous for your schwag. This bug does still appear and sometimes swallows your gear for good.

Just had this happen to me. Luckily the item was back in my inventory after logging off for like 2 hours. It really had me scared too, as it was worth a bunch.
Have the devs said anything about this and if they are going to fix it? Also where can I find out where server boundry lines are?

I am happy to say - that after a year+ of living and operating on the Front zone line south of Theed - I have just recently discovered a workaround that has proven PRICELESS TO ME. I have this BS bug hit me daily. If you submit a CSR ticket about it - youll get a canned response - "we are aware of the problem blah blah blah"
so here is what I do:
I run to any local vendor (easy since I have all mine right there)
Offer the item for sale, then withdraw it and retrieve it....
Its like backing up your data with the servers lol
I first tested it last week, and have been using it daily since without fail.
Comeon devs - gimme a rare badge for figuring out a workaround before you
w00t!
OMG -- I will try this as soon as I get home....I will LOVE you forvever if it works. The only way I knew of before was to completely close out of the game, wait 20 mins and then log back in and my stuff would reappear 
It seems our player city was build with a server boundary in the middle of it, so going from my house to the shuttle causes me to lose everything I just picked up --- soooooo annoying. I will be throwing up a vendor in my house to use 
so thank you, thank you, thank you

I have 3 medium storage houses in a row...the one right on the end seems to be on this boundary thing so if I pick something up and move to another house it disappears. This happened last week with 10m+ worth of stuff I was auctioning and the panic was immense.
Luckily got them back but the only thing I can think of is not using that house anymore. The other 2 houses seem fine so this might just be dependant on where the structure is placed.
