Does ToS have any personal shop stalls like how RO had the merchant classes putting up their own shops, afk then people would buy their stuff? Or at the very least an Auction House/Hall/NPC? I remember games like Maplestory and Aura Kingdom having the same concept too.
I donāt know, but your question bring me to ask another linked with yours, if itās the case, will double account will be allow? :x
If my memory is correct, I think I saw something like that during CBT2. Thereās also a bunch of FAQ articles mentioning a āMarketā such as this oneā¦
Q. There are too many items in the Market making it difficult to find the item I want.
A. Use the search system for your convenience in finding the item that you want. You can set the [Type], [Level], [Upgrade], [Item Name] for the weapon or armors you want to search for.
Just go to the Support page and type āmarketā as the keyword if you want to see more. 
And at the moment, I donāt know if double account will be allowed.

I would be happier if they could somehow solve it to be able to vend with a character while you are playing with another character on the same accountā¦ I donāt think it should be impossibleā¦
ā¦but there are games where your shop is not bound to you and itās open while you are playing soā¦ that would be even more easierā¦
Well so far, the closest vending system there is, is the alchemistās gem roasting shop and the pardonerās scroll shop. There probably will be more classes that can set up stands though.
Iād rather they did something more like what Final Fantasy XIV does with their retainer system. In FF XI you would sell things on an Auction House, you simply put it up for auction and people bid on it or pay the price. In FFXIV the system was tweaked a bit so that you have a solid price, but you can see everyone who is selling that item. You hire a retainer NPC who you get to create just like character creation for yourself and they will sell your things for you whether youāre online or not. You simply check the market board or ring a retainer bell.
I think it would be nice to do it this way because I remember that as a Merchant class main in RO if I wanted to actually play my Creator I had to always have a second account hold all the items for sale otherwise only make money when I was afk/sleeping. So, forcing us to have double accounts to sell stuff while we play would be inefficient since that jacks up the amount of people actually playing the game. Instead, they could make it where someone takes care of all our Sticky Goo and Warped Bone and Hot Lava pieces at some central location in the city and they sell them for us while weāre out saving the trees.
A) Instead of using individual stalls, we are planning to have a market where all the players can register their items. However interpersonal trades are also possible. If we add a feature which allows individual stalls in the game, it will be focused more on purchase requests rather than selling the items. There is also a feature in the game which GM can submit items to be listed on auction at the fixed times and it will have all the same features that are available in the real auctions.

As well as the Auction House / Market system everyone has mentioned, there was mention of a player based buying store (basically the opposite of what youāre asking about) [Edit: the source is what @harimaku said]. Itās mentioned in the most recent CM Leslie Post in regard to player reactions:
ė§¤ģ ģģ ģ ģøķ°ķģ“ģ¤ź° ė¶ķøķ“ģ ģ“ģ©ķ“ė³“ģ§ ģģė¤. Some shopās interface is confusing, so I didnāt use it much.(some kind of special store? i donāt have any information on this)
Above is @blueblue translation, but the direct translation mentions ābuy storesā / āpurchase stores,ā of which imply the system mentioned above. It also might be referring to the Auction House, but I saw plenty of videos where people were using the Auction System to sell stuff, so I donāt think this was the case.
This actually answers a question i was thinking about. Hope they do, do that feature!

Well, thatās disappointing. Iām not fond of auction houses.
Doesnāt make the world feel very alive to me, I prefer individual shops.
I hope they allow purchase requests for Equipments. In Ro1 renewal you can only request for normal item drops and potions.
Really? Its so damn annoying to search some items for hours when there are like 10000 individual shops afk in towns. Remember that Priest, Swordman, Mage class can sells their skill at vendingā¦ Also if they allow for purchase requestsā¦ a lot of people is going to use this mechanicā¦
Thatās exactly what makes the world feel alive.
You have to place your shop in specific points also depending on what you are trying to sell, and also makes communication relevant while searching for a specific item without spoonfeeding you everything you need to know to make a purchase.
It forces players to be smart both when purchasing and selling, for a lot of reasons.

I dislike the searching for items but i love the shops. You know that site Ragial? I just look up the item i want in there and it tells you exactly where the shop is and the vendors name ectā¦ Some system like that would be best of both worlds ^.^
I know that it gives immersion but it has annoying downside. You need spend lot of time to searching items.
Ragial was nice but it worked only in Prontera and Payon. I often hear people complaint about this game being obsolete and them getting bored doing the same routine.
Thats because the site uses a little bot aco to run around checking certain locations XD
Itās outdated sure but lots of people still play it worldwide so its obviously has some appeal that keeps it relevent to people.
