Marketplace Sort Favors One Merchant?

[Thoren Warbaum]

I search for items from L$0 to L$0, sorted by Best Selling. The top selling 'freebie' shown is a L$600 item that can't possibly be anywhere close to best selling. This sorting mishap - assuming it's just that - favors one particular merchant in an unbelievable manner. Much like giving one merchant a free ad on the homepage.

Strange...I only see 0L items ^^'

Not really strange, I had no intention to point fingers at one particular merchant, who happened to be in the lucky spot  Keep an eye on non-L$0 top listing, it happens often.

L$0 is not selling it,s giving. There is far too much free stuff on the marketplace. I hope when the changes come we have to do it manually as I am convinced that  half the stuff there is so old and was just ported over.the creators are long gone.

Please note that while all the price categories end with a zero, only one also begins with a zero.

For the sake of consistency, I'd like to either see $0 as a completely separate category, or see all the numbers on the right end with a 9.

Why will that never happen?

Because LL needs to have 10 in the same category with 0 in order to get commissions on items in the same category as freebies.

By extension of that principle, not bothering to fix the appearance of $600 items in freebie searches might also appear to LL to be to their advantage.
