Business: Avatar Bizarre Client: Crash-o-Matic 2.0 Blog Entries: 25 | Yeah, I tried to migrate my stuff, but I can't move anything to the folder I'm supposed to use. Typical. Things are broken even before they're made Live. You really have to love LL for their unbridled and misplaced enthusiasm for things that don't work. |

| That's a very ambitious schedule even if everything worked perfectly. There are so many merchants who don't follow the news and have had items up for years with little review. Will the listings still remain on the Marketplace and simply not deliver items? Can you imagine the chaos when residents try to buy items only to find that half their purchases can't be completed. On the other hand, if the listings are removed from active state, large quantities of merchandize will disappear.

A couple people have reported luck to make the outbox activate earlier if they log out, then back in, to the Marketplace web site, but I think it is probably coincidence. Log out/back in to SL might matter, to make sure the viewer refreshes your marketplace account status. | |

My Mood: ![]() SL Join Date: 03/17/2004 | Well I think for people that have had things up for years, and never log on the marketplace (because the information is on the merchant page in red, and the updates have been there for weeks that DD was coming), good riddance. These people that don't provide customer support make all of us look bad, and if they are that inactive, we aren't missing much. I don't like this timeline though, it seems a bit rushed. I would like to un-box all my items and get them into folders because I really hate boxed items, so converting almost 600 listings to folders is going to take some time. A few days, that I can't spare until mid to late May. |

![]() I've been slammed by RL business trips and now I've got taxes to prepare. I have a very small store, so somehow I'll find time to figure out what to do and meet that deadline. But at least one very good friend of mine has a huge store inventory and is suffering from very poor health. Making this transition in such a short time is going to be difficult for her and may not even be possible. Very few people have the luxury of unlimited time for dealing with SL business disruptions. This schedule is brutal for people with hundreds of items. | ||

My Mood: ![]() SL Join Date: 03/17/2004 | If you are selling on the marketplace, you are going to have people with delivery issues, you need to log on the marketplace to check transactions. I find it hard to believe that anyone that is selling anything on the marketplace doesn't log on at least once a week, at the very least once a month to look at marketplace transactions. Again if they are that detached they can't bother to log onto the webpage once a month or 1/2 a year (because you would have to be absent a good 6 months to not know about DD at this point), maybe it is time to give it up. If you are just moving boxed items to direct delivery, it should only take a new minutes. Just open the marketplace delivery box(es), and drag them all from your inventory to the merchant outbox, and then re-associate them on the webpage. The time issue comes with take full advantage of what DD offers which is the end of boxed items. |

Then Monday, I found a beach corner for a good price. ![]() And I took it. ![]() Now, I am changing landmarks up the hoohah. And won't even begin to look at DD till tomorrow. Least I have time before it's fully in effect. |

We were always told that magic boxes would still work. Magic boxes completely disappearing in less than 2 months is unexpected. If you want to keep things boxed, the process is really fast. I have been looking forward to not having boxed items, because that is the best feature of direct delivery in my opinion. I hate boxed items. This is the last 1/2 of my semester I don't have extra time to make the switch properly. So I will most likely have to 1/2 ass it and keep things boxed and then unbox them over the summer. | |

| It's NOT that easy. Let us review: The last time they dicked around with MP they fucked a LOT of people in the migration. I had to relist over *3000* items because it was botched so badly. It took the better part of a year to fix it. We were told magic boxes would work for some time to come. Now we're told they'll die on May 16. One problem: If your ITEM NAME is not the same as the ASSOCIATED ITEM NAME in your box? It *wont* auto-associate. You have to redo it manually. So for example: GNI Gift Box: Doors 01 is the name on the box. Girl Not Included: Doors 01 is the name of the item. It will not auto associate. You HAVE TO REDO IT BY HAND. There was NEVER ***EVER*** a requirement that they be the same. Ever. Now? We have **4200** items to RENAME/RE-ASSOCIATE between me and Dare. Before May 16. When we are trying to deal with World Goth Month in May- The World Goth Fair, The WGD Nightstalker Hunt, the Omnomnomicon and World Goth Day. All of which *I* am fucking responsible for. I was so upset when I saw this shit today I burst into tears. We *do not have time for this shit*, and they told us Magic Boxes would still work. Over 90% of our sales overall come from MP (except for Dare Designs, which are mostly inworld) As usual, the Lab thinks people only sell 25 items on MP.

Boxed items are a pain in the ass for things you wear. Because it requires a place to unbox them. Rezzables (furniture, houses, whatever), it doesn't matter- because you need a pace to rez the item anyway. But wearables don't require that. The wearables market covers not only the people who easily have places to rez things, but everyone who doesn't. If people are simply handed a folder, rather than a box, they don't need to rez anything anywhere. Wear and go. | |

If it is something that needs to be rezzed or tweaking can thoroughly break it, a box is win. | |

ok well yeah that is shit. i am sorry you are going to go through that. would it maybe be easier to split the 2 accounts? eta: ok i am not understanding why you have to rename everything. if your items are in the magic box, then its taken care of...the associated item name and the "object" name ( that gets delivered) why would you have to change it? it remains the same. keep your items boxed up... | |

We have no intention of unboxing anything. It's not worth the time. Most of our stuff is rezzables and Dare's clothes... well he can decide it going forward. The problem is that what I was told today is that the name on the box- if that is not *the same* as the name in the "Item name field", that it will not auto associate. Hangon, let me take a photo, this gets confusing... *goes to MP* *makes screencap* *edits in PS* *uploads to snapzilla* ![]() See how the two names there arent the same? There was never any requirement that they be identical (hence the two fields.) But I was told today that if they are *not* the same, the objects will not auto associate. That you will have to make them match first, or wind up associating them all manually. By May 16. (oh and it's already split. That's part of the problem. On my account i can do about 500 of them. Dare has to do the rest. I *cant*. It's not my inventory. Which is a problem since he's the one who has to *build the fair*. ) | |

| People with a lot of items to deal with need to be raging on blogs, twitter (directed at rodvik) and LL's forum about this issue. This reeks of an artificial deadline for someone's annual review. And rodvik has the power to change the deadline date. I have a lot to deal with and there is no way I am going to touch this minefield until thousands of other merchants step on most of the mines. Also I see what the commerce team did there with the bullshit early deadline for free and under L$10 items. |

Because it's easiest to just tell a customer to take out the box and unpack it again if something goes awry. I've done the same when botching my own edits or SL eats part of an AV. ETA: I feel bad for those merchants who have 100's of items. A whole month, and it's running like molasses uphill. Took my alt 2 hours to get her account going and first item listed. >_<
