We (all communities) have been asked what our Top THREE issues are.
We need what you feel would be the top 3 issues for your community regarding Live servers. Please do not include any issues that will be touched with the CU. List them in bullet point with a brief description of the problem
Please provide your input and I'll compile it all and present the list to the devs.
I ask that you limit your list to only 3 items. If you must list more than 3, I'll only count the first 3 when I compile them.
My assumption (I have no inside knowledge) that they want to spread a little love around to the non-combat folks.
Here's mine:
* Clunky sales interface - Needs the ability to relist multiple items from the stockroom (with their previous price and description intact) with a single button as well as offer multiple items for sale with similar prices and descriptions with a single button.

* Horribly ugly vendors - We need the ability to control the look of vendors during creation -OR- give image designers the ability to alter them after creation.
Edit: After further clarification, they are looking for "Bugs" and not "issues"
We need TWO merchant related bugs and one non-profession bug.

Quick fixes that would make Merchant Life Easier:
1. Make the Vendor the default selection instead of Region.
2. Add a "Bid" amount to the listing screen in Stockroom view to allow grouping of items of the same price together for more efficient restocking.
3. Allow multiple items to be selected and placed up for sale at the same price. from both the Sales screen and the stockroom screen.

Allow multiple select for re-sale, much like you can multi-select to retrieve.
And also what has been said above already..

1. Increase the item listing duration to 60 or 90 days. Restocking items after 30 days is ridiculous and a major drain on our game time.
2. Add a "Bid" amount to the listing screen in Stockroom view to allow grouping of items of the same price together for more efficient restocking.
3. Allow multiple items to be selected and placed up for sale at the same price. from both the Sales screen and the stockroom screen.

Question: If "single button restock" went in, would there still be a need for a "bid" column in the stockroom?

For me yes, I would still want to see the price to highlight and select by.

It might not but it doesn't hurt to be able to see what the prices were on items that are in the stock room. It could help with making repricing decisions as well. A restock would put items up for sale at the same price as before. Allowing me to see that all my Leather Hide didn't sell at price x might allow me to reprice them a bit lower and try again.

Not counting the holo grind, I've only been a merchant for a couple of weks now and am really having trouble seeing past my bugged vendors in Mospic High Range. I want to be able to retrieve my stuff, damn it!

That would be handy for a "restock at different price" multi-select function.

Like selecting a group of items, click the button, change the price and description on the first one, click submit, and all the items you had selected go back on sale at the new price with the new description.

I'm copying, because my top 2 are already up there.

May I add to the last part, the ability to purchase or reject multiple offers at the same time.
* Horribly ugly vendors - We need the ability to control the look of vendors during creation -OR- give image designers the ability to alter them after creation.
I would really like to see IDs have this feature.
And my number 3 : Fix the galaxy vendor search. Don't repeat items on multiple pages, tie it to merchant skills, give some sort of bonuses to higher level merchants, etc, etc.

* Medical section on vendors - Instead of being listed under Miscellaneous ---> Pharmaceutical, we have our own 'Medical' section thats split into the types of stuff we create and sell, such as Stims, cures, buffs (or whatever they're called after the CU).
* Ability to resizecolumns onvendor screen - Or the ability to hide columns for a single instant to allow more viewing of the name of an item for sale, resizing the vendor screen leaves lots of wasted space in various columns that could be put to better use.
(perhaps not a doc specific problem but i'm a doc and it affects me)

* In-game support for consignment sales - The ability for a merchant to sell an item for another player with no upfront cash andhave the money from the sale automatically split between the merchant and the item 'owner' at a predetermined rate upon sale of the item. Both parties should receive email about the sale with data about their transaction.
Bah, only three? =>P I want moooooore!
* Clunky sales interface - Needs the ability to relist multiple items from the stockroom (with their previous price and description intact) with a single button as well as offer multiple items for sale with similar prices and descriptions with a single button. HUGE value added to the profession

As much as I hate the fact that the average human vendor has a pink mohowk is shaped like a pear and has neon green lipstick I'd have to put the vendor customization off a list of three.
* Make vendor listings based off merchant advertising skill. At level 3 they get local, at 4 they get planetary and at master they get galactic.
