I will start with saying this particular problem has never happend to me before and I have always used the 3rd party viewers to send my products to MP. When I open my merchant outbox I am getting a messege saying that anyone can sell on MP and to create a merchant store. I cannont send my items to my already existing store. I have checked the MP store by logging into it and making sure there are no red flags put on by the labs and to make sure the page still opens. The store is still there on MP but when i try and load the outbox it doesn't seem to be finding it. Please help as any new items cant be listed until this is resolved.

I have tried multi times to purchase lindens using my paypal account. I have used this paypal account on sl before and it worked then so i don't know why it's not working now. I tried all the usual tricks. Tried ordering through the dashboard using 2 different paths then tried ordering through the button in the viewer with still no success. I have emptied the viewer caches, the web browser caches, rebooted the modem and computer, tried ordering while logged into sl and while logged out, tried ordering from a different computer all together. I have gone to the sl wiki and done what is suggested there looking on paypal page to c if an update is needed (none was but i did it anyway) The name address and email are all present and current on paypal and sl, they match in both places. The card the paypal is attached to is linked to the bank account and has been verified both on paypal and sl and has been used for sl purchase before and worked. The card is not expired and currently works. I have tried all the things i could think of and all that i have found posted and i still keep getting the purchase declined, I have tried using smaller amounts even though it wasn't much to start with and I have made sure that the purchase is above the minimum allowed for paypal on my account. Help please this is frustrating and i have been working on this problem for hours and need the access to the lindens (i.e. rent to pay things to buy, ?economy to keep alive) help help help any ideas

It is possible that the rental company you pay the tier from forgot to pay the fee to the labs

Voice is automatically enabled unless u uncheck the box for it. If you uncheck the box you wont hear anyone and your mic wont accidently turn itself on which happens often in sl. If you dont have a mic you will still hear others speaking unless you have unchecked the enable button. You can choose to turn down or off specific avis mics if you wish to only hear some people but not other more offending ones. That is the sound sliders you get with the headset button (firestorm not sure about sl viewer) It is possible that you could have your voice dissabled and you can still hear things such as gestures or media that would sound like people talking but if you know what the people were saying and it matches what they say than maybe it is their viewer that is malfunctioning.

strange about that comparing vote box to traffic thing since some of us just refuse to hit the things since really isn't a vote supposed to be if u actually like the place. Often we go places cause people we know teleported us there and we stay to hang with them not because we actually like the location. I only vote if there is something about the place that is over and above the norm of what i like otherwise well im lying if i slap a vote for a place just cause someone told me to.

i can see how some people might think this would be a good idea so the accounts cant be hacked but consider the trouble that would be caused if say your computer broke down and you had to log in on another one. It's not like we always have forewarning when something happens to our beloved computers so we cant always change the info before the bad stuff happens and if it is locked so you cant change it after the fact.

when you get the simulator excuse try logging in at a different location. if the last location is set on your viewer switch it to home or vsvs. if last location was home you can pick another location if you have your preferences set up to show your favorites bar. I always have that choice activated for situations like this. If you have no favorites set up for this then pick a random place you remember the name of or check out the sl home page that has the maps where you can pick a random place that is showing online. If logging to a different place doesn't help then the problem could be bigger so check the dashboard for any current issues for log ins. If there is no current issues and you still cant log in you might need to clear cache. Sometimes that is a fix all.

maybe the fee got taken out of your lindens and u just never noticed the number changing

Well for whatever reason its not opening for you id suggest waiting to buy anything till its all cleared up. Just cause it suddenly lets u get on the page doesn't mean it wont eat your purchase. Give it time to clear its indigestion.

I listed a thigh high mesh boot in marketplace store and it keeps getting put as adult category. I don't have any suggestive words or anatomical parts in the picture so i don't know what i need to change to get it listed as general. I have seen many thigh high boots in general listing when i search for products so that cant be the reason. the title of the item is "Suede thigh highs mesh". thigh would be the most racey word in the whole listing. Please help as no one is going to see this item if it is listed as adult. add on: i tried taking out all reference to the word thigh in the add and the item name. I sent in a new item naming it suede high boot (mesh). No body parts were mentioned in the revised version. It still got bumped into adult rating *****more info**** i listed another mesh item today that was a simple sweater that was also rigged mesh. This also got put into the adult category when there is nothing adult about it. Is this something happening to all rigged mesh items now? How do i get around this before i list more mesh items that will never get seen buried in the adult section? OMG!!! we have a solution after wining to so many people that we finally came up with a possibility... It's a doozy. The size listing of the xxs and xxl was setting off the adult rating it must think it is xxx rated or something. Stupidest part is that writing the sizing out long form like extra extra small or even 2extra small with all the other sizes doesn't fit in the number of characters given for the descriptions. Labs please tell the scripts not to flag sizing as adult!!!

i keep a very detailed folder system keeping all the build stuff away from my normal inventory. i use the texture folder for this. each folder has sub folders and sub folders examples will by typed like this: [ ] square brackets around the main folder name. { } brackets around the first set of sub folders. ( ) around the inner sub folders listed directly after the folder listed before it < > for any extra folders within them ones. [done full, {ready for market. (builds, cloths, etc), archives, (now unlisted, never listed), promo/gift}] [texture huds, {filled, empty}] [textures to load] [going projects, {components put together,starter system cloths,mesh,((sub categories for each individual project in each folder))}] [clothing stuff,{techy things, ((huds, scripts, menus etc)), texture huds for clothing, my template storage, clothing textures to load in hud, sculpts/mesh kits (accessories ((jewels, belts, etc)), clothing parts ((skirts, arm and leg parts, neck parts, coats, etc)), shoes, furry/neko including wings, weapons, etc depending what u make)}] [sculpt/mesh, non clothing related {store packaging, kits in a box (mesh, furniture, big build, outdoors, seasonal, etc), opened and using}] That about sums it up other than the odd working folder here and there. some may have more sub folders or less depending on how detailed they get. the ones i don't use very often i will box up in a prim and name it with a few !!! in front of it like !!! shoe storage and put all the already boxed shoe kits into this then keep it in the top of that folder to easily find. only draw backs doing tat is A/ if the servers r having a fart they might eat a non copy box ( so I re-box the stuff getting rid of anything that is no copy in there often it is the sample which I will make a new copy of the sample to stay in the box and get rid of the no copy one) and B/ if your not specific about what goes where it might take a while to find what you want stored in the boxes. The texture huds are very specific as well. i have categories for tops pants outfits male and female then other folders for leather, jewels, notions, lace, knit, skirt materials, etc depending on what you need. there are some free large size texture huds out there but only some of them can be downsized enough to be made to fit the screen for a hud. mine takes up about 3/4 of the screen and is as small as it goes. make sure when you wear the hud that your in a place that can work scripts and take the lag but it does solve the issue of needing a place with a lot of prims for rezzing and the issue of strangers stealing your templates. Once you rez the normal texture sorter on the ground and can get it reduced in size enough you can attach it as a hud to center screen then you might need to rotate the angle to see the front but it works the same as when u rez it on the ground.

regarding the other posters answer suggesting to unlist then associate. How do you do this? Does the original stay unlisted and u list the new one with the associate (however it is that you tell it to associate) or do u re-list the first one and associate the 2nd one? If we are fixing a problem we don't want the future customers to be getting the faulty products by accident after going through the work of fixing it to make customers happy in the first place. If you could give a more detailed description how to do this it would be appreciated since its not something we want to make mistakes on, thanks

I find the best way to start in making any material texture on a garment template is to start with a seamless greyscale (white black and shades of ) version of the material itself. This material needs to be flat not rippled and stuff. You only want it to get the texture of the weave. When you place it on a layer under your shadow map in your art program. At this point u still have your template map to know where things go and your shadow map is most likely set as multiply... but you may choose another type of filter for that. When you start adding in things like your highlights and shadows you then set those layers as grain merge. This makes the highlight and shadow keep the grain of the material below instead of looking like paint on top. for the shadow map being set at multiply tends to make things on the shiny flat glossy side so you may want to test all the settings for that to see if another one works better for your specific project. For silk and satin it may work fine. all this information is still using the photoshop or gimp style art programs that have the layers available but don't require too much art other than what you feel is needed for quality.

cloths: I like ADN and Virtual. They have full outfits and many ways to get prizes and gifts. When i help new people this is the sort of place i introduce them to so they can feel good about their look fast and not be searching free malls for shoes that look good which don't exist in free malls. I support stores that make it possible for newer members to like this world and want to be here. shoes:^^^ above. they come with the outfits to match even if they are paws. Makes life easy. Hair: sweet hairs because they have a gift for new avis. hairs are hard to get without breaking rules or relying on hand outs with strings when your new. Magica because they have colour huds not taking up miles of inventory or making you stick to one colour only plus they have lower rez weights than some of the other hairs. skins: stores that have gifts or participate in hunts (with normal markings and make up). It sure beats a demo. We can test the skin for a long while and decide what we want over time knowing how it looks in all lights and angles. Its so hard to see the quality of a skin with demo markings all over it and this way we don't end up disappointed. we know exactly what were getting. AO: Oracul. not only do they have flips and fun jumps but they give plenty of variety so you don't get bored quick (you must like moving around a lot or being fidgety). Tutys have some nice classy ones and have less movement for a more life like look but i like my flips. Builds supply: Ones that try and get customers into their shop. Ones that don't make so many of their own seller rules that it makes it difficult to use their product for promo items. Ones that have demos for their rigged mesh. (some on market have no demo or say get it in world... make it easy for us people if i have to chase u down for a demo your not going to be readily available if i need customer service ether)
