Ok, here is what I've run into the past few days, and what affect they've had on me.

Bug 1: "The split crate bug"

I began with about 55/60 inventory. I had a crate of 50 pet vitality packs. People don't need 50, so I wanted to break them into more manageable sizes of 10 to sell. I did a "split" on the crate and created a crate of 10. I put it up for sale. I did a "split" again on the crate. Now it tells me my inventory is full. **edit**? so I throw an item in my inventory in my backpack. Now I try the split again, and it works. I put it up for sale. Now I do a split again. Inventory full again. What??? So I throw another item from my inventoryinto the backpack. Again, now I can do the split. And so forth, and so on.

Bug 2: "The 7/day 30/day" selling bug. This has been well documented, so I won't "go there", I only list it here because you will see how this makes another bug all the more worse.

Bug 3: "Multiple retrieval destroys items bug"

This bug is just horrible and can be an absolute killer. I started with about 58/60 in my inventory. A master level chef was good enough to sell me some crates of master level chef food. I did a "buy" in the vendor, and bought about 10 crates at around 30k each. Now the crates are sitting in the "stockroom". Because of bug #2, I realized that I need to sell them from inventory. So I selected 5 crates that are of identical type and did a "retrieve" on them.2 show up in inventory,3 go *poof*. No message, no nothing, the crates just vanish. 90k down the drain instantly.

A little late for this but this happening killed Merchanting for me,

The previous large patch ( prior to cities and mounts) seemed to wipe out the inventory in my vendors. I did not really act on it as I expected no help on it. This happened to my char Duarj on the Tempest Server which is a bit buggy seemingly anyway.

My store was (semi is) in the riverlands of corellia, I had vendors for slicers (smuggles), weapons and armour (Boris'a'k) Artifacts (Jed'is n stock), and a explosives vendor. I logged on relogged etc and all my vendor items were gone. The vendors still had pay (maint) and I hadn't been inactive nearly enough to warrent a item retrival purge. If my entire stock was bought out I would be very very happy and not be on here. This was during the time the theft bug was out so maybe I was robbed or maybe just some dev update thing collided. I know its far too late and wouldn't expect it rectified in the first place however I wanted to know if any other of my fellow merchants have experienced this?

It kind of killed the profession for me now, as I barely look after the one non guild supply vendor I have in service.

TH is looking onto Bug 3.

Bug #3 JustKILLED me. I had room for 5 more items so I selected 5 items , failed to notice that the 4th item was a pack with 40 items in it (oh yeah.. all rare resources.. nevermind that the worth on the bag was over2 mil) ... what do you know... *POOF* gone... down the drain.

Somehow I don't feel that my CSR ticket into the matter will get answered.
