I'm master merchant, andonly one of my vendors are showing up.
It was the only vendor to makea sale straight after the publish (because it's in a high traffic zone and was probably stumbled across).
All vendors are stocked, with 60 days+ maintenance, in tents that are also paid up, and not in player cities.
I have been round and accessed all my vendors, paid a tiny amount of maintenance, listed items, unregistered and re-registered one of them. Made no difference at all.
The only positive for me at the moment is that I have 1 of the8 weapons vendors showing up, so I may get more business until it's fixed!

Hi,
all the merchants I talked to, who have the skill, had no vendors on the map and were not able to list them, not even new ones. The interesting part is that those who dont have the skill anymore still have their vendors listed.
Read ya.

I'm not sure if sales tax ever went to someone other than the merchant. But we tested this in my player city a few weeks ago to confirm the rumor that the tax revenue went to the merchant rather than the city treasury.
The dev team is aware of the sales tax issue.

When I try to add more stock I am told that I am currently over my vendor limit and must remove one before I can have more stock.
I currently have 9 vendors in 1 building, and have 1004 items listed so far!
When you look at your Skill screen under mods how many vendors does it say you are allowed?

THIS IS HUGE this will cost mayors millions each server, collectively for even one or two days without sales tax being collected. but player cities having nothing to do with jedi, force sensitivity, or combat, it is understandable that this was never noticed in test.I'd be looking to fast track this one for a hotfix, asap.
Be careful with this one. It was bugged on Test. What is happening is players are getting the sales tax and then when the city updates all the sales tax that the player received is deducted from their credits. I never did check to see what happened if you dumped your credits onto an alt or someone else when it came time to collect. But this is defintely something that is still buggy.

When you look at your Skill screen under mods how many vendors does it say you are allowed?Only just saw this reply sorry... It says I am allowed 9 vendors.
The other question I have is can you create a 10th? If you remove one of the 9 does it work again? I'm trying to see if the issue is a miscount or a missing vendor somewhere? Please make sure you file a bug report and a CS ticket on this to see if we can track down where the issue is.

I hear that this was reported on TC and yet a fix was not implemented. The map problems I can live with, as well as the other minor annoyances. Not being able to load up a vendor is a game breaker and needs addressing. I had to borriw lots from people for storage who will want them back shortly and if I need to destroy over 1000 stock items due to a bug I will most unhappy!
Any backpacks in the vendor with stuff in it? Just a guess, but is it possible that backpacks with 50 items in it are counted correctly, but displayed as 1 item?

I'm a master merchant and I operate two vendors only in a player city on Tatooine (FarStar). One vendor is in a PA Hall which acts as our mall and the other is in a cantina. Neither of these vendors show up on the map. Both have over 100 days maintenance paid on them and roughly 300 or so items.
Vendors of other players in the PA hall are showing up - they are not master merchant though (maybe that is the problem).

No backpacks on any vendors. Only thing I have on there is single weapons and factory crates. As well as removing a vendor and seeing if I can recreate it, I will try removing all crates later to see if that is the problem

The message about too many vendors is distinctly different that the one about too many items. It sounds like either you have an invisible vendor somewhere screwing up the count or the code isn't properly counting your Vendor skill. The former can be confirmed by a CSR.

There are others reporting this too, they are below their limit of max items, but cant restock their stuff to the vendors, cause the item-limit is reached it says.
Reported in a german forum, thats why I "forward" it to here.
