Is Salas Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 How do I list a direct delivery product in multiple, appropriate categories in marketplace? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm very new to selling on MP. For all the world it looks like I'd have to re-upload for each category....?

Amethyst Jetaime Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You can't it is against the rules. You are allowed to list an item in one category only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't ... pick the best category for that product and list it there. Even if you re-upload for each category, if they are the same product duplicated, LL will inactivate them as soon as they notice. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/listing_guidelines#keyword-spam "Item spam is creating more than one product listing for any single item, and will not be tolerated. The SL Marketplace provides ways to increase visibility for nominal fees. Consider an Item Enhancement. Clear variations of an item, for example, an item offered in multiple sizes (such as small, medium, and large shoes), or an item offered in multiple colors (such as a blue and black sport coat), are, however, allowed and are not considered item spam."

Is Salas Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 ahhh, thanks, I didn't know. I have no clue how to list it then, LOL. I listed a St. Patty's hat under Celebrations>Holidays>St. Patrick's Day. I've just changed it to Avatar Accessories>Hats, Gloves & Scarves>Hats. But, honestly it seems like a 50/50 chance on how folks would search that. LOL It does seem to me that there are products that fit in multiple appropriate categories and would yield better results reults in search if they could be listed that way....One product, multiple related categoies. That wouldn't seem to be spam to me, just good marketing. How to prevent folks from misusing categories, well, I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake1 Nightfire Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The appropriate category for that would be St. Patrick's Day. I don't see many people looking for it at Christmas. It is a specific holiday item not just a run of the mill hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is Salas Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Alrighty then...changed again, back to St. Patrick's Day:) Related question: I have separate listings for a St. Patty's banner and a balloon set so folks can buy one or the other. However, I'd like to also offer as a set with a reduced priced than buying separate. How do I go about that properly? Is that a new folder upload with all items included and named as a set?
