vendor maintenance run out

Listed on the bazaar yet when i travel over 5k on swoop to waypoint for the vendor im looking to buy from as title above its not accessible i think due to maintenance. If they are not operating should they still appear on the bazaar? Bit of a time waster me thinks travelling and spending money on starports etc to find you cannot use the vendor...

this is actually a bug in my opinion.

when vendors ran out of maintenance on Live, they were automatically unsubscribed from the vendor search option and the global map. merchants had to reenable these features on their vendors once maintenance was paid up..

i have submitted a ticket for this as it bugs the hell out of me as well.

Usually have to check my vendors or drop a ton of credits on them to ensure they don't run out. I have too driven to find a vendor OUT OF ORDER. I also have found mine out of order as there is no option for me to know unless I physically check the vendors.

wish too that it would be fixed

Could we have a system generated message sent to the owner of the vendor notifying them of the issue? Like if I were a vendor owner it would send me a in game mail notifying that my vendor had run out of maintenance and that they would begin to draw from my bank, much like other structures do now?

i understand what you guys are saying, but regardless of whether or not the system sends emails about vendor maintenance, the issue remains that when a vendor runs out - or the house it is in runs out, the vendor is supposed to be removed from bazaar searches AND the global map. the merchant must then re-register both options once he has paid up his dues.

that's how it was in live, that is the correct behavior.
