Vendor bought items poofed after gating
 

I bought 3 bronze armor pieces from another player. About 30 minutes later, I bought 2 pieces of bronze armor from Shady Swashbuckler. I saw all 5 pieces in the bag. Fairly soon after the Shady transaction, I gated to North Karana. I checked the bag and the two pieces from Shady were gone.
