Thread: DEVs: Unretrievable Items in Vendors
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 I found i could put it up for sale, and when withdrawn, could retrieve it form the stockroom.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.

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.
