Hello i am a first time modder just starting to use the creation kit. I am doing fine except in one area, and that is creating a custom merchant. I have followed the instructions in this video (search youtube: "Skyrim Creation Kit Tutorial: Creating a Merchant NPC" ) but can still not seem to get my merchant NPC to actuall sell anything/ even enter any dialogue.

If it makes any difference instead of using "Helgens Keep" for my test location (as was used in the video) i have been using a house that i custom made in the creation kit (maybe i have a setting wrong?)

Any help is greatly appreciated as not being able to create a merchant (or probaly any other interactive NPC) is realy bothering me.
Thanks,
