Merchants paying for quested items

[Slashurr]

I have a bunch of greater lightstones that I want to turn in in north karana for the exp and the loot.

the problem is merchants aren't giving me the plat when I sell the concordance of research to them.

I read a post by one of the developers uthgaard or whatever that said that this is a known problem and is going to be fixed soon and that people who sold quest related items will be reimbursed as soon as this fix is implemented.

Is there any way that this can be guaranteed? I really want to turn in my bags of GLS because they are great exp but if I am not guranateed the plat that I earned I feel as if I should just wait.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?
