Okay, based on the post above mine, someone else is getting similar problems. I jsut removed the vendor again and replaced it with a new one. Egverything seemed to be fine - then I put an item up for sale. No problem. Second item I try - "This item is already for sale". ARRRRGHHH!!!


I've got 2 other NPC vendors, and 2 terminals all working with no problems - why is it being a pain with this one?

Well i am not merchant by choice but because i need vendors. I will drop it as soon i have enough vendors to sell my stuff. I am really happy that you can drop the merchant skills without loosing your investment in the profession regarding vendor. As long you pay, they are here. All other benefits are lost but vendors act like harvesters, they collect ressources no matter you are artisan or not, no matter you are skilled in survey. Should i loose my harvestor because i have dropped survey ?


In the same way, in player city, you can place a cantina only if you are amaster Musician or Dancer. Should you loose the cantina if you drop master while you are still paying for it to be maintain ?


This vendor thing is not a bug but a well done feature. Vendors are just tools used to sell. You don't have to loose them. You have to get skill to place them, you invest xp and time in you get your reward by not loosing your investment.


Yhis have nothing to do with any other profession. Unless you want to make disappear anything a playing did while he qwas of some profession. I was armoursmith, i made armors, sold them, now that i have surrended the skill all my armors suddenly disappear from the world. You create vendor, you keep them. it's the same thing.

9. Some times vendors disappear entirely for periods of time only to return later. (Sometimes after a server reboot sometimes on their own even before a server reboot)


This is happening to an entire mall on Eclipse, is there any dev response to this or a workaround so far? If a devwant tosee it for themselves have them checkout the vendor in my sig on eclipse its gone so far every day after about 10 hours from serverreset.

My third "Bulky" vendor will not initialize. The first two "Bulky" types have been fine. I am at Merchant 3001 currently, and I am not owner of the house I am trying to place in.

"10. Global Advertising doesn't show up after a server reboot until after someone visits the vendor for the first time."


---


This is causing me so many headaches... I'm losing revenue from an entire shop because the stupid advertising doesn't reset properly after server loads. For a "lower interest" commodity like droids, having my shop advertised is super critical and means all the difference.

I'm curious why you only get experience for 1 vendor every 10 minutes when someone clicks on or refreshes the vendor. I've currently got 4 vendors running and it doesn't matter if all 4 are clicked on, I only get 50 exp for refreshing a vendor? Bug or design?

I apparently get XP for two of my three vendors only - they have run for 22 hours and netted 6900 xp. Three vendors should have brought in 9900 xp, two would have been 6600 xp. Put some sales on top of the 6600 and there you go.


Have watched my xp meter closely for two hours and got 300 xp only. I have now deleted them all (yay... lots of items in there as I sell food, powerups and stims on them) and recreated them. Lesse if they all work now :/

Addendum: I have been to all of them several times before deleting them - no massive xp roll-in.

Decius is me just to clear that up Still no go. I deleted all three vendors and created new ones. I *think* I got xp for all three until the downtime hit two hours later. Checked this morning and it looked like 300xp/hour only.


One of the vendors is placed in a Cantina (that was my first vendor and as I got xp from him I assumed he's working OK) the other two in our PA hall that serves as a Mall.


Does anyone know about a fix?

OK, here's a bug I haven't seen listed here yet.


I have rented out my house to a prospective merchant (I'm a Master Merchant btw, should it make a difference), he's placed his Vendor next to mine, had the usual initilisation problems, but now it is working he can't use it. I can!


I have all the admin rights of the vendor while he can only use it as a customer. Is this really as intended? This makes the vendor my 7th!


Any feedback would be appreciated as my friend is getting very frustrated - I on the other hand have another vendor!


For those of import: Please, please allow the transfer of items between vendors - moving house is such a pain!

All's well! My problem above has been resolved by the other merchant first placing their vendor in their own house, removing it and then placing it in mine. Everything now works.
