I don't see what the problem is... you are selling your items and isn't that the point?

Sam's might not mind if you resold their items (though I bet the manufacturers would
), but I'll bet that if that same buyer stood outside the door and shouted advertisements for their own store they'd be asked to leave. Refusal would be considered trespassing, I doubt that the manager of any store would fail to enforce it under those circumstances.
really tho if the customer see's the prices are higher wont they come back to you anyways?
Buying out stock to resell isn't the problem, its how some people play their merchant, its the deliberate attempt to ruin the gameplay of this tailor by trying to steal their customers by spamming at her shop that is the problem!
They are realy annoy, sinceI amnot playing for in-gamemoney...(Oh, but needMINIMUM wageto keepthe fun 
).I want to keep well inventory, to make customer cometomy shop becouse that and price, and comunicate with them.This is my one of view forenjoy as tailor.
Put waypoint and price on item name. This is not best solution, but it was working for me. Way to bann from house does not help but this method...
If they doing for backpack, 4 sockets belt, gloves and boots (as black of course), just make crate and put vendor them for re-saleto coexistence and co‐prosperity with them as possitive direction. Also not put once at a time, justfew for certain items every day.

Additionally theres the issue of some people having multiple accounts, and thus multiple crafters. I know of one guy on starsider named natejay' who crafts weapons, and in the back of his shop theres a rancor bodyguard and a spice/smuggler tools vendor with everything made by natejay-. Thats obviously clear enough, but then not everyone makes variations of the same name. If they resell his/her items, potentially those who have never visited her malls won't even be aware of the fact that they're being sold or produced by someone else, and thus they'll continue to give business to the reseller.
Of course, that reseller would be screwed if someone wanted to do a custom order, that is if they weren't a tailor who was trying to buy out the competition.

I am sorry for being the one that doesn't get the point here. you put the cloths up at a price and you got your price. What is the problem here? It wasn't like you had a vendor set up for your guild hidden away where everything was a credit and they bought up 300 items to resale.
You missed the part about standing in her mall trying to redirect customers.

I had a similar problem when I would make full outfits, put them in apack and sell them for around 10k. One day all my outfits were bought up by one person. I figured they really liked my shop, and I even thanked them for the purchases.Then, a few days laterI found a bunch of my clothing for sale on the Bazzar. This kid was re-selling all the clothing in the packs individually. Even though I admired his tactic, it ticked me off! I know I got the money I wanted, but I made those outfits for people to enjoy roleplaying, and create a base of customers, not for someone toripapart for personal profit. I really didn't want to just raise my prices because why should my regular customers have to pay. So I justbanned the guy and that seemed to take care of it.
I think part of being a crafter is not just the money, butknowing people are enjoyingthe product they got from you. These re-sellers kind of take that away.
