Tech Robonaught Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Capservend has an option to mass redeliver a product to all who purchased it. This is a fantastic way to push updates. WHY IN THE WORLD does Marketplace not have this?
0 Rolig Loon Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Because Marketplace has no memory of which people all bought a specific item. Marketplace is basically a delivery system that collects cash on behalf of the merchants who list there. Individual merchants can keep track of who bought individual items, but Marketplace doesn't maintain a database with that level of detail for the few merchants who would use it.
0 Rhonda Huntress Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Because it is now MarketPlace (a monopoly) and no longer SLX (a 3rd party tool). Buy out and abandon has been a business stratagy for a long time.
0 Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 If you have Caspervend you can set it up to keep track of MP customers and use it to send updates to them.
0 Polymath Snuggler Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Actually ~ All of the above replies are varying degrees of wrong. SL Marketplace does have a full database record of every transaction that has taken place in the last few years or so. You can request it in CSV (Comma Separated Values ) data format at any time from within your "Merchant Home" > Orders > Download CSV. Just set the start date back to the stone ages, and the end date at present time. Amethyst Jetaime is correct in stating that you can plug this data into a Caspervend System and issue updates that-a-way. In addition, this feature you've asked for here has been mentioned multiple times to Linden Labs. They're officially "thinking about it." Presently they're working on Marketplace Search improvements, as well as a few other MP related things. In time I'm sure they'll get to this. It's not the easiest thing to implement though, as consideration has to be taken into account regarding the copy / status of sold objects, as well as objects that were sold with limited. quantities available etc etc. The market data only holds what an object was, and who received it, not what the permissions of that object were ~ or whether you have the rights / abilities to issue updates/ etc etc etc to it. Probably a much longer answer than you wanted, but there it is~ Have a nice day! 2
