Web/Marketplace Features

Recent changes were made to benefit those using SL Marketplace with mobile phones in portrait mode. But Second Life is still largely used by a majority of desktop computer users and the SL Marketplace should mirror that too. The recent changes have negatively affected the way SL Marketplace now appears on desktop computer screens, with two-thirds of a desktop screen now having wide empty side borders which are left unused and wasted. Please introduce a Desktop Screen Mode option to SL Marketplace, allowing the entire width of a desktop monitor screen to be utilised, with a wide variety of screen size options too, just as the SL Viewer already has. Attached are images of how SL Marketplace currently appears on a Desktop PC Windows 11 (16:9 screen, 1920x1080) and how I would improve SL Marketplace's UI to allow the full width of a screen to be utilised, with a "Screen Size" option button added.

Related items listing in Marketplace should be checkboxes to be able to select all 8 wanted in the one function, not click one or two or three if you are fast enough, to then get kicked out and have to go back in and repeat the steps over and over, if anyone has any kind of mobility limitations the way it is currently makes it problematic. EDIT : This is for listing the items for purchase, not for purchasing items.

For instance we can all relate to the RL automobile industry. GM makes Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Baojun and Wuling, And what about the mega company with more than 35 brands. The Ferrero Group sells include 100 Grand, All-Bran, Apple Jacks, Atomic Fireballs, Baby Ruth, Black Forest, Blue Bunny, Blue Ribbon Classics, BOLETE, Bomb Pop, Boston Baked Beans, Bottle Caps, Brach’s, Butterfinger, Chunky, Chuckles, Corn Flakes, Corn Pops, Cracklin’ Oat Bran, Crispix, Crunch, Crunch Creams, Delacre, Délichoc, DELIKET, DISQUETI, Dori, Duplo, Eat Natural, Estathè, Famous Amos, Fannie May, Ferrero Brioss, Ferrero Küsschen, Ferrero Rocher, Ferrero Tronky, Fiesta, FOX’s Fabulous, Froots Loops, Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Fulfil, Funables, Fun Dip, Giotto, Gobstopper, Goobers, GOMETS, Halo Top, Hanuta, Honey Smacks, Jammie Dodgers, Jelly Belly, Jubes, Jujyfruits, Kashi, Keebler, Kinder, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Joy, Krave, Kjeldsens, Laffy Taffy, Lemonhead, Little Brownie Bakers, LUA CHEIA, Maryland, MICHEL ET AUGUSTIN, Mon Chéri, Mother’s, Murray, Nerds, Now&Later, Nutella, Nutella & GO!, Nutella B-ready, Nutella Biscuits, Oh Henry, Party Rings, Paterson’s, PETTIZ, Pixy Stix, Pocket Coffee, Power Crunch, Raffaello, Raisin Bran, Raisinets, Red Hots, Rice Krispies, Rocky, Royal Dansk, Runts, Skinny Cookies, SnoCaps, Special K, Spree, Stretch Island, SweeTARTS, Thomas Fudge, Thorntons, Tic Tac, Trolli, Vector, Wagon Wheels, Yogurette, and Yoguret 100 Original. As you can see this is common practice to have multiple brands under one company or store. Reports would be separated by brand of course. Implementing this feature might include implementing multiple stores per avatar which has also been requested. And this might be much easier for owners to manage than having multiple stores.

It would be amazing to be able to block a store's content from showing in Marketplace. Instead of adding a store as a favorite you could click to add store to a blocked list and then their content would no longer show in your search results.

Please add a required bool while creating a Marketplace listing that asks the creator to disclose if AI generative tools were used in part/all of the products creation. Add this bool to the 'Do Not Show' section of the Marketplace search filter. Allow listings to be reported if they do not honestly disclose this. ---- For the health of the market we need the use of AI tools to be disclosed by creators. I would prefer personally that no AI generation be supported. I understand that tolorance of it is an effort to avoid censorships slippery slope, and is complicated by the sheer variation of AI tools that currently exist. But regardless of opinions or complications, it's existance cannot be ignored. So lets focus on what can be done, by giving some power of choice to the consumer instead. Users should be provided a way to choose products with or without AI generation while shopping, and naturally creators who choose not to disclose or to lie should face the same reportability and moderation as any other creator that would choose to lie while listing. The moderation half of this should not necessarily focus on trying to prove the use of AI gen tools, it doesn't actually need to. Creators who have done the work to provide support and actually prepare the AI generated content for its use in SL are unlikely to warrent being reported, and should not need to lie about the useage anyway. It is products that blatantly lack support, have egregious LOD & LI values that would be inclined to lie, and would want to be reported by users, this is the same for ANY product currently listed. If you buy it, and you don't get what was described, it should be reportable, the same goes for AI generated products, AI generated should not get a pass because you have to 'prove' something first, when the fact remains that you didn't get what thought you bought. So do not focus on "did you use a tool?" focus on "can you fix & support the product?" If it can't be supported, then disclose it was made via AI generation and move on. This is a similar complication to full perm and gacha resales, but also ripped models, copybot etc, in they will all lack support due to not being made directly by the creator of the listing. There is a big difference between fullperm & gacha resale vs ripping & botting, and that difference is honest disclosure.

For Members who are Premium Plus, offer the ability for them to change to a previously used/owned/purchased last name for free. If you buy a last name, as you own it forever, you should be able to switch into one of your already purchased last names whenever you'd like to (perhaps cap it at a 48 hours cool down period per switch). Just a thought!

I'd like to see a creation date of items shown in the marketplace and the ability to search by year created.

It's fairly common in Discord to have conversations like this (names edited out): [06:06]Person A: Hello, I urgently need help from someone at Linden Lab, please. [06:53]Person B: They don't really offer live support here. [07:25]Person C: https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ A lot of people are coming to the Discord expecting help from Linden Lab. While the people on Discord are generally helpful enough and this isn't a problem, it wouldn't be hard for the generally helpful people to be absent one day and someone to provide too much information and/or things to go in an undesirable direction. Ultimately there needs to be a guide on Discord for how to reach Linden Lab, since most of the time Lindens are not looking to help people who should be directed to the ticket pages, they are mostly there when they need help testing things or to ask for feedback. This proposal is for a special channel in Discord that simply directs prospective users to resources to assist with account and/or governance issues that their fellow residents are unable to assist with.

Giving mesh body creators the ability to add their body to the filter for clothing and apparel. Shopping for clothing can be somewhat hard now with the numerous amount of mesh bodies that have been added over the years. giving creators the ability to add their body as a subtype that can be easily added to a filter for the products would be a great way to make shopping on second life easier. Khara ,Legacy ,Maitreya ,Reborn And many more that have different shapes and different fittings Making it sometimes difficult to find clothing that will fit your particular body. this also can be done for heads and other and accessories making it a lot easier for creating avatars as Second Life has changed in the years since the marketplace was first created.

Marketplace images are limited to 700x525 pixels. This really needs to be increased so we can actually see what we're buying.
