This recently came up, I think with publish 8.2....
when you buy a couple items off a vendor in one buying session, sometimes the items go *poof*,while auto-retrieving the item, the item will disappear into thin air and not go into your inventory or available items
The only way to remedy this temporarily is to buy the item, and check the available items to make sure it got retrieved correctly, and you have to do this for each item, which becomes tedious after a while.....
I used to be able to buy like 10-15 items in probably 30-45 seconds, and they would all be in available items when I went to get them. I honestly think this problem arose when the "automatic retrieving" was implemented.

Yeah it's been in game since they put in themultiple retrieval option... Kinda a shame it hasn't been fixed, I guess that players losing items is not an important problem.

This happened to one of my customers yesterday when buying a Heavy Harvester. But he sent in a ticket and got it back. Thats the first time I've seen it happen, didn't realize this has been an issue for awhile.

Auto retrival drives me nuts.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the first items you buy go to your inventory, sometimes the 12th item does (with ample space for either). Sometimes items bought from offers go to inventory, sometimes not... really odd when the first item is a single stack and the second is a bag, the first goes to stockroom and the second to inventory.
This happens whether you buy fast or slow. I haven't noticed anything going poof, but there have been a couple times I furrowed my brow sure that I bought something but not seeing it in available items or my inventory and concluding I must have been mistaken. Drives me nuts on all sides.
Drives me batty when I am "transferring" stuff from my armorsmith to my merchant so she can put it up for sale.
The inconsistancy is what is especially annoying.
