Everytime I try to add an item to my vendor I get this error Message, "Can't place invalid item". Anyone else getting this kind of message?

I'll just post the ticket I sent to CSR explaining my problem
Hi
I just brought multiple items on a vendor just outside of Naboo, Theed -3878 4084 Vendor owner i believe is Arccara.
I just brought multiple items on a vendor just outside of Naboo, Theed -3878 4084 Vendor owner i believe is Arccara.
As I brought these items they were placed in my invetory, which became full so i transfered them to my Travel Pack, filling this up, then filling my inventory up again. In all I had roughly 42 items on me that i'd brought from this vendor. However there were more so I thought I'd buy those, they'd go into the avalible Items part of the vendor and i'll pick them up later. I'd press the enter key to skip the notice that i couldn't retrieve the other items as my inventory was full. Fare enough, i'll pick them up later.
I then go to my vendor to place the items in my full inventory on my vendor. However, when i get there all items that i'd brought are no longer in my inventory. I log out of game and back in again. Nope they are still not there. So i revisit the vendor I brought them from. There are still items in the Avalible Items part of the vendor but the items that were in my inventory have disappeared.
the total of items that have gone missing total to roughly 105k as each item cost 2500 credits. Can i get the money back or the items, as this is clearly a bug that has reared its ugly head.
Thats my ticket to CSR. Worst still an update. I logged back in again and went back to the vendor to retrieve some of the avalible items to see if it would tell me my inventory was full, nope it doesn't so i think ok these 5 i retrieved to test i'll take back to my vendor. What happens, I get to my vendor and these 5 have BLOODY disappeared to. So now, i've lost loads of money, buying these goods, that i want to sell on and i can't do anything with them 'cause they keep disappearing. Anyone had problems like this?

Yes. It's a known bug. And an old one. Happens to tailors a lot. Someone buys something from your vendor, or trades you, and then they leave and the items vanish. I can't tell you how many times I have had a suddenly naked customer run back to my shop all in a panic.
Crossing a server line is usually the cause. Shuttling sometimes fixes it. A long logout sometimes fixes it. Sometimes they do not come back until server reset the next day. But only if you leave room in your backpack for the items to reappear. If you fill it back up with something else, there is nowhere for the ghosted items to come back to.

Aye, I had this happen once. A grand healers robe one of my characters bought just vanished. The CSR couldn't return the item, but did refund my money.

I know there is a server line between Theed and some ofthe shops on the Kauri server. I used to have a shop of my own there. Several times I had changed my clothes with ones I had stored there. As soon as I crossed the line, my toon would suddenly be running around in his underwear. If I logged out for several hours, they would reappear.
I learned to change clothes 24 hours prior to crossing that line. Eventually I moved to another shop.

Loged out this morning and had 13.9 mil in bank. According to e-mails had 2.5 mil in sales but when I loged in this evening only had just over 14 mil. So to test I pulled everything out of my acct and waited for the next sale. Someone spent 750k and only 250k was deposited into the acct. Submitted but and CSR ticket. I don't track my sales that closely cuz I flux 20 million per week based on what I spend it on. But just an FYI to keep an eye on.

Hrmn. Everyone keep an eye on this. I'm going to make DocSavag (Merchant Correspondent) aware of this and see if he's heard anything or knows of an existing problem.
