I have only novice merchant and ad barking 1. I have a small tatooinian house on Sunrruner with 2 nps vendors inside. One sells clothing and related articles..he works like a charm.


HOWEVER, I also have a resource merchant. Now, I first tried this before the "vendor fixes" and found that players could buy from him, but not retrieve their items. So, I pulled off the items "off the shelf", only to find I could not retrieve form my stockroom.


So post patch i said to heck with it, lost a few thousand resources and deleted the bugged vendor. I put a new one in his place, and tested him with a single unit of resource. I found i could put it up for sale, and when withdrawn, could retrieve it form the stockroom. (Although i found it odd that my previously unretrievable items from a deleted vendor still floated in the stockroom).


So I put more resources up for sale. That was two days ago. Today I had my first resource vendor sale, and the player found themselves unable to retrieve. So i tested a withdraw and retrieve form stockroom to find my issues returned.


Luckily I was there to give the player some resources through a secure trade to make up for the problems. However, this kind of issue could eat at a customer base quickly. I have seen (somewhere) mention of vendor fixes. My question is: when are they going to be implemented? Should i stop hoping for a fix and just delete the vendor to keep form upsetting clients? or should i wait it out?


Also, is anyone else having this as arepeated issue?


Thanks for your time all.

It's bugged, never buy or sell resources through a vendor. Basically the first resource you put on there is good, why the one works. What happens after that is all other resources of that same kind get stacked into the first one. So if you put 5 1k amounts of steel, the first 1k is actually 5k and the others are all ghosts. They will all say 1k though, but that is wrong. It is like putting resources in a back pack, they auto stack.

I am having a very similar problem.

About a month ago, I accidentally deleted a vendor with items still for sale in order to upgrade to an NPC vendor. All the items that were there still showed up on the storeroom, but I could not retrieve it.

Then it got worse...

Now, I can not retrieve ANYTHING from my storeroom - at all. Anything that goes through the normal period without selling on my vendor, and offered items that I buy, any item that I prematurely retreive - gets lost. I get the auto e-mail informing me that the sale is complete, but nothing shows up on my vendor. I am currently working with CSRs through my ticket to see if anything can be done about this. Any word from the devs if this is a known issue would be much appreciated.
