Hooten Haller Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 When I go to buy a 0L product and check out, I am presented with a confirmation page showing a dozen products I did not put in my cart. I don't want to click "Confirm" for fear I'll be charged. There is nothing explaining why these are showing up in my cart (or is it my cart?).The page URL is "https://marketplace.secondlife.com/orders/99999999/checkout/linden_dollar/continue? Very confusing. I'll stick to in-world purchasing I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry0ta Exonar Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 No worries. That's the way it is when you try to buy only free items. It's confusing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanara Zenovka Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you mean the page full of product photos, they're just ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Chester Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I think you are confusing Featured Items on the freebie check out page with your shopping cart. Those are just ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooten Haller Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I half-guessed they might be ads. But the page doesn't say so and the context is about confirming a purchase. Without taking the chance that i'll be docked thousands of L$, I wasn't willing to click like you were. (And since I don't like to reward badly designed sites, I will continue to not click if I ever try this again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooten Haller Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 At the top of the pag ei see "Click 'Place your order' to complete checkout". At the bottom of the page I see "Place your order". The only thing in between is a set of product photos and no message explaining why they are there. They look like a variation on a shopping cart to me.So there is no "Continue" on this page, it's the final page before the account is docked money.

Lyra Blackthorne Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 it is just annoying spam, you can ingnore it. You might find that Freebie in the creators SL shop too so check inworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Jaxxon Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm sorry, Hooten, my bad...."Place your order" is correct instead of continue. Feel free to click the option, believe me, only what you have put in your cart would be what you will purchase. No gimmick there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooten Haller Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Not. I have simply complained about some bad web page design and hoped someone else would see my point. Amazon, with all of its cross- and up-selling page junk does not put out a confirmation page like this. So it really was my legit concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
