If the housing storage limits can be changed now anything is possible.
I have a shop with all needed things for everyone. 1 Vendor with REd components, 1 with paint/texture/repair kits, 1 with ship components of nearly ALL sort (mark II-mark V, chassis, missiles, counter measures (really, ALL sorts)), 1 with wound medpacks, 1 with all rest of medical supplies except buff packs (stims, rezz kits, flame suppresion blankets, ...), 1 with tailor crates, 1 with fashion for wookiees, twilek and ithorians, 1 with BE clothing, 1 with all other tailor things, 1 for special orders and 1 as storage for my not yet REd ship components.
People are buying like crazy, I sell for several millions a day. Nevertheless I have to relist around 100 items daily (without counting my storage vendor for RE parts) just because I also have around 2000 items under my nearly 4000 that sometimes need a while for selling. How often sell crates with cargo pockets or jewelry settings for example? Or ithorian clothing, rezz kits, strength wound med packs or flame suppresion blankets? Not very often, but they sell, and I am proud of having really everything any customer may want from the portfolio I am offering.
Maintaining my shop is not just "throwing items on and waiting for my money while doing nothing" it is hard work, and when relisting really feels like work
Please give us a relist button, it would give us so much more joy

On infinity I have to relist 100 items daily. How does this come?
sounds to me like until they give a restock button that you are in serious need of making your own restock day. what i mean by this is ...
pick one day a week that is conveinent for you. on that day every week, go to each vendor and "withdraw" every item that has less than2 week to remain on the vendor. then go to every vendor and restock all of these items. if all of your vendors are in the same structure, you can do this through one single vendor interface. i have never tried it on a galactic base, but it would be worth a shot i suppose.
Anyway, through one vendor, you can select "regional sales" (i think that is how it is listed - maybe vendors in region or something like that but you get the point). when the items come up, opt to sort the items by time remaining. highlight every item that has14 days or less and withdraw from sale. refresh, do it again, refresh, and again untill that page has no items with 14 > days remaining. Then go to the next page and do the same thing, all the way to the end of your sales lists. Then go to your stockroom and yes, you will have to resell them individually as of now, but it will keep you organized where you only have to do this once a week rather than every day until we are given a restock button. YES this can all be done from one vendor even if items are on another vendor. If you resell an item that is located on vendor C through the "stockroom" interface of vendor A, the item will resell on vendor C not vendor A as long as you have not moved the item into your personal inventory since the withdraw/purge of the item.

I already use this system when I know that I cannot play/restock within the next days. But normally I insert new items on a daily basis which leads again to a chaotic dropping out within a very short time. So using your system regularly would give me nothing but an overload of unnessessary extra work.
