Nicholas Melchior Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I can't speak to inworld purchases, but I can say, as a Marketplace merchant, I began listing Demos at $1L because of how MP handles $0L purchases. If someone is checking out in MP with a $0L total, they aren't taken directly to the checkout screen. They are first directed to a page of other paid listings with a "proceed to checkout" button "hidden" at the bottom. LL doesn't make anything off of $0L purchases so I assume the idea is to entice adding more items to the cart first. This can be confusing to shoppers who aren't familiar with this quirk, so instead I began listing them at $1L to avoid any confusion with the checkout process. If that "feature" were eliminated I would have no problem listing demos for free. Edited October 25, 2018 by Nicholas Melchior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. I don't want your business if $1L offends you so much. I was merely explaining the rationale. It's done as a courtesy.
