Web/Marketplace Features

As we are seeing for a while now, our economy is not working great. The linden market is stuck for various reasons, our currency is losing value, but I think LL can help us all by making some changes in the LindeX Exchange page. Second Life should change the description in their website, to explain better how the market works and to direct people that can't wait to an instant payout. We ask for a easier choice of words and concepts that direct users to make a thoughtful choice when they sell their lindens. By using a simpler interface like "Instant Payout" and "Linden Market for experts" we can help users and also help our economy. We also ask to add a "Linden Market guide" in the same page explaining how the Limit Sell works, in terms or timing, mostly. In this way we can help to keep the exchange rate low and have a valuable currency that allows residents and designers to live with their SL incomes. This attached image is just an example, but it gives you an idea of what we ask. Thank you.

Hey Linden Lab! What is this mess with “Item updated on:“ on Marketplace pages? If I remember correctly, we asked for „date of creation“ data. According to you, the oldest item I have on MP has been updated on 05/06/2025, even it hasn’t been touched for years. Now, that is just false information, I am sorry. We have enough of customer support to do already, I really don’t need to explain your mess to my customers in addition to everything I need to cover to run my business. Also: Have you taken into account that we all need to read the dates, not just USA residents? How about some other, more clear format like: 06 – May – 2025? May – 06 – 2025? You do know that USA is the only one using month-day-year format, and your customer base is international? Also: It would be nice if you would inform us about the changes you are making on OUR marketplace listings. This is not the first time that changes are made with zero heads up, you are just waiting for us to notice. Marketplace is not your playground, it is your job, you need to do some testing and some public convo before introducing changes. As I said on the forum: Merchants: “We need toilet paper.” Linden Lab: “We got you: premium sandpaper, enjoy!” P.S. This is me, giving my best to be polite, while boiling in my office. Sorry if I failed.

Currently, all active listings appear on the main storefront, including very old items I no longer wish to promote. Some of these I keep listed only so existing customers can redeliver them. However, having these older items visible can make my store look outdated, especially when applying for new events. I suggest adding a simple checkbox in the listing edit page to mark items as "Discontinued." These items would still be purchasable and available for redelivery, but they wouldn't appear on the main storefront by default. Instead, a separate “Discontinued Items” section or button could be added to the store page for customers who specifically want to view them. This would help creators keep their store looking fresh while still supporting existing customers.

Hey! Having to go to my account's order history to request redelivery for items can get pretty tedious, and it's often far faster and more convenient to find the marketplace page of the product in question. Could we get a redelivery link on the product page itself as well?

I'd like to request the return of the beginning and ending balances on the monthly Account History / Statements for the Tilia Wallet. This feature was incredibly helpful for many of us who use these statements for accounting and financial tracking purposes. Personally, I rely on this information to reconcile my monthly ins and outs, just like I would with a regular bank or PayPal statement. It provided a clear snapshot of what I started the month with and what I ended with, which made tracking and reporting much easier — especially during tax season or when organizing business finances. In addition to the beginning/ending balances, cashout amounts and associated fees have also been removed, which further limits the usefulness of the current statement. Right now, all we can see are Lindex transactions (L$ we sold) and services we bought in Linden Dollars, which doesn’t give a full picture of actual money movement or wallet balance over time. Another important point: the website and PDF versions of the statements often don’t match, which causes confusion. For example, when I pay for land fees or services using funds from my Tilia Wallet, the website clearly states that the payment was made with Tilia wallet — but the PDF doesn't show this detail, making it unclear how the payment was made. The same issue happens with PayPal payments for services. The website shows the paypal accounts email it was paid with but the PDF has zero info on what account I used to pay with. Since many of us rely on the PDF as an official receipt, it really needs to reflect all the same payment details shown on the website. The previous format was much more complete and reliable for those of us treating this as a serious financial tool. Please consider reinstating these features and improving consistency between the web and PDF views. Thanks for listening!

The marketplace has a growing, serious problem with this deceptive listing practice, with stores adding ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to their store name to imply that an item being shown in a search result is actually rated 5-stars, even when it is not. The number of stores engaging in this practice is shockingly large, with 'brands I've heard of' already doing it. The practice seems to only be growing. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/en-US/stores/store_name_search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search%5Bsort%5D=&search%5Bkeywords%5D=%E2%AD%90 Other unicode symbols that should probably be disallowed: ⭐ 🌟 ✨ ★ ☆ ✪ ✯ ✭ ✰ ⚝ ✫ ☀ 🌞 �

A refreshed Marketplace with a responsive web design would be great. More content could be shown and could also increase ad revenue for LL

I would like the ability to list an item for sale on the marketplace with the option to make the price open and flexible, so that the buyer can decide what they wish to pay for it. Obviously, some will pay nothing and get the item. Some will pay what they can afford, and some will pay what they believe is a fair price for the work. All of those options would still provide them the item using whatever price they enter at checkout. I want to do this as an alternative to just offering an item for $0L. The 10% per sale fee would still apply to any amount above $10L

We have a page that lists recent published viewers at https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/categories/viewer.html which is handy for reading old Release notes or debugging when a bug came into existence. A link to that page should be added to the sidenav of https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/ Alternately, add a link to this page from https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/index.html which already has a link to (very) old viewers.
