Merchant Archive

I offered alot of resources to a vender. the owner bought some and rejected others. fine.
the problem was this person had decided to move his vender. He emptied it out of his stuff and removed the vender then put it up in a new location. the problem is that all of the stuff that I offered to it is now gone. gone.
he said that there was know way to know if my stuff was there or not.
I tested this I had a guild mate place a vender I offered a CDEF (disposable) to it and had him reject it. then he surched the vender every way he coul think of and he said that it was empty. I looked to make sure that I could see it in the reject stockroom. then I had hiom remove the vender and Poof no more vender. no message, nothing saying hey there are still items on the vender..
I was woundering what I could do. can there be a fix for this.

what I'd like to see is this. when deleting/removing a vender with other peoples Items in it a warning message should pop up for the merchant and an e-mail should be sent to the owner of the item.

any thoughts and/or suggestions are welcome

There was talk of fixing this by moving the items to the bazaar when the vendor got deleted but I don't know the status of that change. Right now it is true that there is no way for the merchant to know and no way for you to get the item back.
