Why can't I create a Marketplace store?

[Diechromatic]

I go to create a store and it says there's things I need to do. I thought I met all requirements, but it still won't work. Re-reading the question and is it possible that by transaction they mean that I need to make a purchase with real currency? So do I have to pay to own a Marketplace store?

 EDIT: Wow, that's bad. I also don't understand... My partner has a marketplace store, I am pretty sure she has never used a credit card.

EDIT 2: No that still makes the game P2P... which I don't remember it being. I am not in the US or UK so this isn't even an option for me even if I could afford it.

you need to have at least used one time your credit card

Buy some Lindens using your Payment Method....

That starts the clock on your credit worthiness.

No, you don't have to pay for your store...or, not exactly.

You DO have to have some form of payment information on file...a credit card or, preferably, a verified PayPal account.  You will need the PayPal account in any case, if you ever want to cash in your profits and turn $L back into real money in your pocket.

And you DO have to have used that payment method at least once.  The easiest way is to just buy some $L.  You can use them to go shopping, it's not a fee for setting up your store.
