Concern: Vendor UI is painstakingly difficult to stock and restock items.
Improvement: Allow for batch sells of like items with same price. Allow for batch moves of similar items, maybe a checkbox on the left to select everything at once, then select action ie: move, sell, withdraw.
/agree
I was online from 7pm till 1am last night just splitting and stocking resources, spices, and new weapons. By the end of the night I wanted to cry.

sorry had another
Improvement: I WANT MUSIC!!!, ever go into the Guild Hall to train merchant skills? ever notice the cool music playing in the background? why cant we have this in our shops? Its not that big of a deal, but it adds an atmosphere to a shop.
I like that elevator music too heh. That would be cool hehe. Then again, any music in this game would be cool.
Concern: Inability to Image Design vendors, or at least customize their appearance at higher skill.
Improvement: Ability to advertise my business on a bulletin board or some other means in town 
Not sure many people know about the vendor search on the global map.
Concern: The incredible amount of lagwith vendors lately. Alsolaggenerated by multiple
vendors at same location.At our mall (13 vendors), the lag is horrendous.
30 seconds to 1 minute waits for updates and retrievals is normal.
Improvement:
1.) Ambient music in shops (Please! Something to differentiate our shops)
2.) Dutch Auctions(take what you want at this price)
3.) A discountsetting (set a single discount rate to apply for a guild, faction, persons, etc.)
4.) Person-specific sales (only Bob can buy this item)
(for TH, yes I do understand the irony of wanting less lag, then adding data to the vendors for the client to download. That's why the devs make the big bucks! 
)
Concern: I dont get consistent merchant xp unless im online and in my house.
Solution: fix merchant xp so it accumulates properly. ie 150 xp per vendor per hour, no matter what the player is or isnt doing, make acess fee and player vendor use pay the proper amount everytime, again not matter what the account owner is or isnt doing. The game is Star Wars Galaxies, not Merchant Shut Ins Online.
I agree. Im not gettign anything for XP with my vendors. I was given this profession by my holocron. I dont like it and want off of it. However, I cant get any XP. I dont want to sit in my house and watch vendros!!!! Is there a way to make a macro so that when ?Im asleep and at work I can leave my player logged in and keep him from AFKing out of the game?
HHEELLLPPPP.
Concern: They took away my favorite crafting feature - Hex Color Codes
Improvement: Give the ability back - but only to merchants (heck this would be a fabulous "master merchant" skill, or Advertising 4 skill)
