Thank you for your patience and support as we work to create a new virtual goods experience. Sincerely, Melissa posting on behalf of the Commerce Team More... |

They are now starting to cut features in Xstreet in favour of a buggy pile of crap. The new marketplace is so far from complete, one can only assume that these tools have completely lost their minds.

| Well not for nothin but that kind of makes sense. It will just make things more and more complicated if they move ratings and reviews then leave it open on xstreet for more to come, that they will either have to move (adding to workload) or choose not to (adding to SL merchants shaking fists and complaining). I can't say i would have done it differently That said, i think they are doing the moving a bit early. There are other things on the marketplace that should be fixed some first.

Business: Kitty Kat Construction Client: Imprudently Ascending like a Phoenix through the Snowstorm  | I like the new marketplace too. Its listings are much more detailed than those on XStreet. My only real complaint is that they need to start turning on features much more quickly than they are currently. It's ridiculous that, even though I've been selling from my new Marketplace for the last two months, nobody has been able to post a review until now.

I have noticed that some of my main pictures didn't set up correctly and, of course, all formatting is gone from text. I've been going through each listing to check the pictures, update text and add Related Items. So far, it's rather painless compared to navigating XStreet. Loving the related items feature. The interface really looks so much better than the old XStreet. There needs to be more distinction between the "store" on the Marketplace and the "store" in-world. The two links look a bit too similar for idiot proofing. Maybe the merchant store should be listed as "Marketplace Store" to avoid confusion. | |

| It is out of beta. the beta tag is a lie. The menu option on xstreet to go shopping has been moved down and the marketplace replaced it. LL is shutting off features now. These guys are dip widdy idiots lmao. No wonder apotheus left. |

| Yep the commerce team are pushing customers to SLM and disabling features in xstreet even though SLM is so far from ready its frightening. Search is Newest to oldest, so the gamers are already start to load it up with new junk to get to the front of search, and well established products are languishing in the can't-be-found doldrums. Listings are incomplete because the tossers can't write elementary software to strip BB code, and instead stripped much of the body text Listings have images missing, etc etc https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/I...equestId=13056 currently has 11 Show-stoppers, 3 Critical, 12 Major , 66 Normal and 2 nice to have issues listed as open, and the commerce team thinks its ready to replace xstreet, what a bunch of fucknuts |
