I'm not sure if this is a real bug or just me.... and I've seen no mention of it in this forum.
but it seems that if I have a lot of items that expire from my vendors at once, then not all of them make it into the stockroom. For example, yesterday there werew about 40 emails for "vendor sale unsuccessful". The first 2 were for crafting tools, the rest I didn't look at.
But there were no crafting tools AT ALL in the stock room. Yes, I clicked "all". Yes, I have only 2 vendors and "region" etc made no difference.
And looking back, there are a whole bunch of things I know were on the vendor, that I know didn't sell, that are no longer there. Am I crazy?

Looks like its not just me.
Have raised a CSR ticket and discussed it online with CSR-christophers. It is a known problem, and happens because the items are not "properly initialised" before being placed on vendors.
The suggested work-around is to make sure the item is in your main inventory for 10 minutes before being placed on the vendor. This is also true of split resource containers. I.e. split, leave for 10 minutes, then sell. Seeing as I always do split then sell immediately, this is why I saw it mainly in my resource vendor. I've also seen it a lot with "get from factory crate, sell" (e.g. craftin/repair tools).
I'm astounded no-one else has mentioned this bug!

what you can do is OPEN your vendor to that paticular catagory..ie if you are selling spit crates open that tab on your vendor and you can see stuff that is loaded....
i just have so much crap for sale if a item goes missing here and there i just dont notice...the last thing i want to do when i get home from work is spreadsheet for my online business...
