Dana Dielli Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I've tried several times in the last week or so to purchase items as gifts for two different avatars. In every case, the process seems to go smoothly and my order is placed, and then several hours later the transactions fail with the message: " This item wasn't delivered - No charge for undelivered items 1 item failed with the error: Second Life communications timeout" These failed transactions are with three different sellers, and with 2 different recipients. I thought it might just be a temporary glitch, but it's been happening for at least a week that I know of.I thought it might have something to do with one avatar not being payment verified, but when she logged into the website and tried it herself (paying with L$), she was able to successfully make all 3 purchases through the Marketplace.I'm just wondering if this is just the way it is, and "buying as a gift" will never work. If that's the case, I guess I wonder why they even offer that option on Marketplace.Thanks in advance for any input.Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Malibu Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You still can. Once it is in your cart, there is an option below the item to let you send it as a gift which I am sure you know. MP has been having a lot of delivery glitches lately though I have not had any from my store so, I and many others believe it is coming from laggy sims where people have their Magic Boxes stored. Soon we wont have those pesky boxes and wont need to worry about sim lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offers to let me visit the store or remove the item from the cart, but send as gift is not an option and never has been in my cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptianMidget Parnass Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You have to add it as a gift BEFORE it goes in the cart. They changed the Marketplace. When your looking at the item on the right hand side should be a button that says "send as gift". Click that, put the name in and it then goes to your cart for you to buy.

This is exactly what's been happening to me, and at least I now know I'm not the only one who can't purchase anything as a gift in Marketplace. For what it's worth, I just tried purchasing as a gift once more, and once again it failed. I won't bother trying anymore, since it's just a waste of time.

Julez Odigaunt Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Same here. I understand Marketplace has updated its navigation for purchase as gift, but its still not getting delivered. Tried it with many different vendors, and no one got anything delivered to them as gifts. I did not get charged. I honestly started believing they removed the buy as gift feature and were teasing us with a nice little convenient button. Anyone find a solution for this?
