Merchantbags is a small addon that simply opens all of your equipped bags when you start trading with a merchant, use the mailbox, use the bank, trade with another player, or use the auction house. It will even (optionally) automatically closes your bags again when you are done.
Merchantbags can be easily enabled and disabled on a per character basis, and will remember the last setting until you change it again. Try it for a while and you'll never want to go back to the old way!
Merchantbags slash commands
Merchantbags supports the following slash commands:
/merchantbags help shows these options. /merchantbags on enables Merchantbags for your current character (the default until you change it). /merchantbags off disables Merchantbags for your current character. /merchantbags openonly tells Merchantbags to only open your bags, but not to close them again itself. /merchantbags openclose tells Merchantbags to both open and then close your bags (this is the default). /merchantbags status shows you Merchantbags status.
Enjoy!

Originally posted by Movarrin I'm noticing an issue with trades. When I complete a trade, this mod is only closing one bag.
Movarrin, I've been trying to reproduce this one, but can't get it to "fail". Can you post which version you are running (or confirm you have the latest one)?
Originally posted by cawfee Is there a chance we'll get a 2.4 release? I love this mod and am missing the functionality greatly; it stopped working for me for some odd reason.
Either way, excellent work C:
I'll do an update shortly to fix it so it works better with 2.4
Originally posted by Wungy On the Bags, Banks, and Inventory Mods list, this mod is listed as updated for 2.1, but it's only version 2.0. Can we expect version 2.1 soon? Who posted that it's already updated?
Wungy, I changed it to say that it is 2.1 compatible (which it is), but didn't make a 2.1 release version since the only change would have been the version number and the TOC interface number. You just need to make sure that "Load outdated addons" is selected in your Addons screen, and Merchantbags 2.0 will work just fine.
