Heres my DD question...

[WillyD Lionheart]

i updated my stuff back when i was told to and then this comes along which basicly shuts off alot of ways people sell stuff IMO. why is it nothing can be unlimited? i mean seriously, that kinda defeats the purpose of the market place IMO. are you trying to shut down the market place or just trying to drive the people without the money for shops out of business?

 

being one of those that cant aford a shop in world and dont have the time to keep reposting my crap on the MP what exactly am i suppose to do? just stop making stuff or just keep posing things when they run out? which also IMO is a pain in the arse to keep doing over and over.

 

I'm sorry but this is a stupid idea...

You make no sense. Only the method of delivery has changed. You can still list products for sale whether they are limited quantity or not.

I don't understand what it is you're saying, or asking. What do you mean by shutting off ways people sell things? Also, why do you think people aren't allowed to sell unlimited stuff at all? There is nothing stopping people from doing that. The vast majority of things on MP are unlimited items. DD does not change whether or not we're allowed to sell unlimited stuff. The only type of product you cannot sell via DD right now is limited items. For example you make a boat, we'll say, and it's a one of a kind boat. You don't have any more of that particular boat. When we usedmagicboxes, you can easily list that one boat on MP and the listing for that boat would specifically say that it was a limited quantity. When the boat sold the listing would then say "unavailable", since there are no more of it. DD cannot handle those one of a kind, or limited quantity items, yet. You still need a magicbox to sell them. So, really, for selling limited quantity items-like the boat-absolutely nothing has changed.

Not having money for a shop isn't going to stop anyone from listing on MP. In fact, DD makes it much, much easier for people who cannot afford, or don't want to, a shop. It actually opens up the playing field more, because you don't need land to set out a magicbox anymore. Unless you sell limited quantity items, which still require it.

I'll refer you to this post, to better clarify, as I believe you might have misunderstood what it says about unlimted quantity items. It does not say we cannot sell them, it says we cannot sell them via the magicbox. All unlimited quantity items have to be sent through the merchant outbox to be listed and sold on MP. They cannot be in a magicbox.

You may have read it, but you didn't understand it. Read the post again, those dates apply to MAGICBOXES. You can no longer sell those items via magicbox. You can, however, sell them via DD. Which will be easier for merchants anyway. Magicboxes require land, DD does not.

I used to have a massive "My favorites" for my future shopping spree but after the xstreet migration, 60% of the contents lead me to blank shops. Even one of my favorite sellers is taking a break from SL because the migration caused her a great pain.

I don't know what the big pain was. I heard all these stories, omg is going to be terrible, DD is awful ect ect. I was putting it off putting it off dreading it, from hearing so many people going on and on  about it. 

When i finally did it,  I think it took me about 5 minutes.

It was so easy I thought maybe i did something wrong, but  I did a few test buys and everything worked.

For some people it went swimmingly. For others, it was a total nightmare. We're still seeing the same thing. For some, it's going just fine. For others, a total nightmare. A quick browse of the forums will show us that.

I'm glad for the people that had a pleasant migration, but I feel for the people who did not. Many of them were labled as whining, complainers and things like that. They had, and still have, very valid complaints. DD has not been a smooth transition for many. I would say most, but I don't have a way to prove that. I can say without a doubt I have run into a lot of people inworld that had, or are having, a heck of a time with it though. I know I have run into more people that have had at least some problems, than I have people who did not. Both customers and merchants alike, but I believe merchants have taken the brunt of the beating.
