Reviewing gifts from the marketplace

[Petalblossoms]

I received a gift of textures from someone and neither them nor I can review the item in marketplace.  Is there anyway around that?

 

Thanks

Buy it yourself is the only way to do it.

Yes it's stupid, just like so much of Marketplace that hasn't been thought through or finished.  The recipient should be able to review, the recipient should be able to request self redelivery (of copiable items)... the list is  long.

I purchased an item from an in-world store and was very happy with it. When I tried to review it at MP, I was told that since I didn't purchase the item there, I couldn't post my comments. To get around that, I sent an NC to the stores owner and explained my satisfaction with the item and the service I recieved and gave her permission to use the NC in her MP site.

No idea if it was posted, but I'm sure they appreciated the good word.

The way I've got around this issue a few times, on things that don't have many reviews and I really think they deserve mine, is to add my comments to an existing review.

I only do that if the review I'm commenting on is similar to my own thoughts, so as not to cause offence to the original reviewer or detract from their review.

Of course, there has to be an existing review to begin with.

 

Yeah, the review system on the MP isn't very good, but like a lot of things in SL, "it is what it is".

Thanks everyone for your reply but the textures I bought were expensive and they were junk so wanted to forewarn others and there are no other reviews.  They need to fix MP then.
