No, but Vanarchs have to spend a good chunk of their policy points to enable auction houses in their province, and some may choose not to do that. At that point even the biggest shop hater may suddenly be wishing player stores were still around.
While the section on Vanarchs says that they can add and remove services and features, exactly what they can add and remove has not been released yet. That would be something to watch our forums for.
If you need help with anything else please let me know!
For The Federation!
