Someone sold me a FREE script for $360 Lindens, What can I do?

[Usive]

So, I bought this script from him, and right inside it says it's someone else made it and intended for it to be free, he didn't even bother to change it.

 

And it was supposedly an item rezzzer, but it's a damn landscape rezzer.

 

I want my money back and want him banned, or at least removed from the market. Can I do this?

Peter, I bought the body for that laptop from a MARKET PLACE vendor who titled itt  A DELL LAPTOP. LL sure as hell isn't going to get on my ass when I don't even show the Dell insignia in the add or mention the name. So don't go there.

Only LL can decide to ban him or eject him from the MP. But you can gather as many proofs as you can (transaction details, description of the item, conversations if you had any with this person) and file an abuse report. You may also send a PM to Dakota Linden in these forums, she is the one in charge of the Marketplace isssues.

Hello Usive. If you consider that there is a violation of the TOS fill a Report Abuse (under Menu Help). Alternatively you can submit a ticket --> Marketplace Category --> Generally Marketplace issues --> report the product including the name of it and the number of the order.

What's a landscape rezzer?

(whisper - I wouldn't annoy too many people about copyright etc while you still have 'Dell' on your marketplace laptop and are posting about making 'Pokemon/Digimon' stuff)

I don't think there is much you can do. The Lindens do not usually (as in never) take action in resident to resident issues. As others have said, if you believe this is a TOS violation, you can report it.

Well, it's certainly not very nice.  I would be ticked if I had purchased it too. Unfortunately, though, I doubt that your complaint will have much effect.  I have given away plenty of my own scripts with a notice that says that they are free and not to be resold, but I have no illusions about preventing that.  

You can probably get LL to pay attention if you bought something in Marketplace that doesn't do what it claimed to, but I would be very surprised indeed if they'll do anything about someone just selling a script that he got for free.

Hi Usive

If this was on Marketplace, you could leave a review for the product - warning other people that this script is available for free.
