Something else of note, yesterday there was one shop of vendors that showed up on the map in my town, a PA Hall with 5 vendors in it. Today, it wasn't on the map so I ran over to load the building just in case. The vendors are still there but they don't show up on the map today.
Just thought it was odd since they were on it yesterday when mine weren't.

I've transfered structures with vendors in them before, and I've never seen a message like the one your recieved.
That's what I thought
Looks like it's something new.I may have to take everything off my vendor, delete the vendor, transfer the structure, recreate the vendor, and relist everything. Fortunately I don't have thousands of items but I do have the vendor terminal rather specifically placed in the decoration of the building. I hope I'm able to get it down in the same spot.
EDIT: Oh, and I have Advertising 3 and my vendor is not displaying on the map. My competition is though

Hi,
first exploit-theories are poping up to keep vendors as "offer-Vendor".
If you visit the vendor within the 2 weeks, it wil last forever. Can someone verify this? They should be deleted as well, if the owner does lack the skill.

Yesterday, some of my Vendors were not showing up on the Planetary Map and some were (3 of 6). Today, 2 that weren't there yesterday are there today. But 2 that were there yesterday are gone. And several others still are not showing up.

Yesterday all my registered vendors were listed on the planetary map, same as they always have been. Today after the server reset, they are no longer listed on the map.
Also, they really need to change the fontof vendor names back to whatever it was. Living on Corellia, it's almost impossible to see vendor names or names of backpacks now, against those glaringly white,Corellia house walls.

Just went to my vendors again this morning, they're still not showing on the planetary or local area map (ctrl-m). I tried unregistering one, I think I'll try creating a new vendor to see what happens.
Update: Created a new vendor, paid it up and registered it, but still no-show for it or any of my other existing vendors.

Put shadows back on the text, please!
It makes it impossible to read vendor names in homes, if the lighting isn't just right.
It's hard to read anyone's names because they now all mix with no defining lines, turning all the names into an ugly jumble of green/blue/pink.
Why did they do this?
It makes the game look terrible in my opinion.
And I certainly don't enjoy people walking into my shop and they can't even read my vendors' names!

In Naboo when I looked under medical or food - there are maybe 2 - 3 merchants listed - seems a small limit if that were the case. But does seem a plausible theory.
Doc on a side note - I have had items delist one day and within 1 - 2 days those same items expire - I was under the assumption it was 7 days in stockroom - read through forums a bit - see it might be 3 - but I check my vendors everyday - to clear out stockroom so I know for a fact that sometimes after I log for the night things delist and by the time I get on the following evening 1 or 2 of these things will expire. I put a bug in for this - but am curious as to how long the stockroom holding area is supposed to be for.

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or if it's going to stay this way? Not being able to transfer structures with vendors in them is going to be a *big* problem for me.

I will ask. It wasn't something that was mentioned to me at all in the proposal stages. Sounds like a bug with the transfer command.

It is supposed to be 7 days. Anything other than that is a bug. Keep the pressure on the CS Team to reimburse you or give you facts that support the items being expired.
