Merchant Archive

It says that I do not have admin privileges or some such nonsense, but its MY vendor!!

What am I doing wrong?

Once dropped vendors can only be turned.

I suspect the reason for this is fairly technical with how vendors and bazaars are coded and it isn't an easy thing to move them around once they are planted. Rotating them doesn't change their coordinates.

No, the answer is "It is a bug.". Prior to update that gave us vendors which could wear customizable clothes, you could pick up any vendor so long as it was not initialized. That's how it's supposed to work, but something in that patch broke the 'pick up' command on vendors. I used to carefully drop, check position, pickup, repeat with my vendors til they stood exactly where I wanted them. It's a minor inconvienence, so it's never been pushed asa merchant issue. But it isa bug. While I dislike it, there's 1000s of other bugs in which I'd rather they put their attention.
