Only ways that I know of are:
-If someone checks your vendor (doesn't have to buy anything)
or
-If someone pays an access fee to get into your house/shop.
Any other ways that I don't know of?
Is there a quicker way to get it? I'm patient but I was just wondering because waiting around just to get another vendor and some planetary adverts is a little less cool.
Oh yeah if you're on Bria visit Neko's Spiceworld in Mandalore on Dantooine, right beside the Medical Center
6k a crate for Neutron and Muon
Individual pieces available.
From Draznar's Merchant Guide
Merchant XP (Sometimes comes in lumps):
150 XP per hour per vendor [Received in lumps whne vender Exists*] (Can place first at Bus 3)
50 XP per view of vendors by person [Must click refresh or a category. Veiwing multiple vendors does not increase] (Can get every 10 minutes)
50 XP per visitor per house for Entry Fee [Can be on multiple houses that you own] (Can place at house terminal at Bus 1)
NO XP for purchases/bazaar ... none ... zip ... nada
Suggestion: Go up management first to get per vendor xp. Then Adv 3 for planetary map.
*Just like harvesters, vendors only exist when a player can see it. When there are no players arround the vendor drops from the servers memory. When another player comes into the house the vendor will load again, experience over time will be updated, and the vendor will "exist" till it unloads again.
There are no other ways to gain XP. All XP for merchant is gained through the actions of other people. You cannot grind it.

I believe the only 3 ways to generate Merchant XP are:
- having a vendor (150 xp per hour)
- having someone pay the access fee on your vendor building (50 xp each time)
- having someone use your vendor -- no purchase necessary (50 xp per person per 10 minutes)
I don't think selling things on the bazaar gives you XP, nor doesyour vendor talking.
There's a GREAT sticky at the top of the forum that explains the Merchant profession very clearly and in a detailed way.
Well a lot of that is just stuff i heard,like i tried the talking tequnique but didn't get any xp,but that was after i posted this,and i'm a aware about the crafting thing i was just trying to point out this simple statment"consider what u do.u may be rewarded"ialso pointed this out because it hapened twice

I don't think selling things on the bazaar gives you XP, nor doesyour vendor talking.You evenhave to make a sale to get XP -- someone just has to browse your vendor. You do get the xp in lumps, which may have happened at the same time you opened your crafting tool, but it was just a coincidence. You don't receive Merchant XP from crafting.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't want new merchants to rely onincorrect information.
