I think you just need to "Deposit Funds" to cover the weekly fee + 5% sales commission?
(and be aware that weekly fee will float if you're buying and selling stock).

FYI, there is no "this stall is mine" button. Someone can outbid you anytime they want, I think. :)

ya but no one DID out bid me last week.
at the end of the week it just dropped to an empty plot and kicked all my pets into the warehouse.
i went back and picked up the same plot again that same day.

there has to be a re-up button that im missing cause ive seen the same merchants out here for years with no pets on them and i doubt anyone is stopping by to re-up a empty merchant.

You also need to make sure that you deposited funds into the broker account. It doesn't pull from your bank, just from the broker account.

yup i had money moved over.
Then I don't know, sorry :( My husband has had the same one for a couple of years now and that is how he did it. I really wish I could help you more.

Edit: He did just tell me that it happened to him the first couple of times, until he changed the bid match to 5000, and since then he hasn't had a problem with just losing the stall.

i dont think i had anything in the bid matching spot, so ive put stuff in there and ill let it run out its week and see if that fixed the problem.

it boggles the mind how UNeasy setting up a merchant is.

After a 7 days, your stall is open for bits, if your match bid is to low, someone else may win.
Maybe the one do not want your stall but just want it gone as he run one too and don't like your prices.
I would increase the match bid, you will only lose the money if outbid.
If your match bid is 5000 and someone bid that for first free stall, you will lose your 5000k but keep your stall as I understand it.
Maybe someone did bid 1000 each week and after 5 weeks, your match bid was eating up. Or someone was bidding 6000 and you was outbid. I lost my stall once too, it's really annoying to have to restart it.

Merchants wishing to lease a stall continuously for more than 7 days may place some funds in reserve with the Bazaar Authority to match the top bid on that stall. When their lease ends and the stall is re-auctioned, if the top bid is not higher than the match funds reserved for that stall, then the current tenant gains a new 7-day lease on the stall but the amount of the top bid is deducted from the reserved match funds. The top bid remains in effect for future auctions. A merchant’s bid matching information is kept private.

but if i was out bid would there not be a new person there?
because that stall is now empty and up for bid.

i had 600k + on the guy and had my bids set to repeat and they had worked the last 4 times.
then i get a message saying i was outbid, go to the stall its empty and its up for bid.

it makes no sense.

I'm not sure, I had the same happen to me, but never after I raised the bid.
You say it worked the last 4 times, that's 4000gp, if it was tie each time, then 5'th bid may had been at 2000gp, or you lost it at 6'th bid, as there was no gold left
I had a gamemaster checking my lost community vendor, he did not find anything, but sure there can still be a bug.
