people create add-ons for the linden homes, would be nice if there a section for it specifically. keyword search doesn't always give the best results

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?

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

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

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 However, having these older items visible can make my store look outdated, especially when applying for new events.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.

Being able to have more than one store in the same account would be very convenient. For example, I do general scripting and game stuff on one hand, and stuff for a specific avatar on the other. These are very different product types, and it'd make sense to separate them into their own stores. While I could create an alt to have a second store, being able to manage it all from the same account would be preferable. Features like reports and sales information could keep showing the same information they do now, if necessary. While it'd be nice to have separate reports for each store instead of just one report with all your products, that seems less important than the ability to create separate stores in the first place.

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.

Leaving Marketplace reviews is a chore if we have to write something about every last item. For potential buyers, the boilerplate feedback can also drown out useful feedback. Let us click a number of stars, and make the text review optional. If you prefer to keep viewers visible to combat review stuffing, you could still show who left star-only reviews. Sort the blank reviews to the end, or present them in a concise list format. It is also worth noting that other major marketplaces like Amazon and the iPhone app store allow star-only ratings.

When mesh came out, marketplace added the ability to state whether a item was "No Mesh", "Partial Mesh", or "100% mesh", as well if it is fitted mesh. I propose that with the addition of PBR, it is made so we can see if something is using PBR with "No PBR", "Partial PBR", "100% PBR", as well as a flag called "Blinn-phong Fallbacks" (MAYBE? Since some people will be using non-PBR viewers apparently). This will benefit creators and buyers in the following ways: Buyers will know if content is using PBR or blinn-phong. Creators will be able to clearly disclaim in a visible, uniform way that something has PBR without fallbacks. Buyers who use old viewers will know if content will be compatible with their viewer. It would be useful if this is a searchable filter too!

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: ⭐ 🌟 ✨ ★ ☆ ✪ ✯ ✭ ✰ ⚝ ✫ ☀ 🌞 �
