mtwtfss71 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Maybe it has to cycle through all of the merchants first or something. Sort of anti-climactic, hm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Beardmore Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am having the same problem with my outbox, It will not let me make a drop, keeps asking me to create a marketplace store. But I already have one...Grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Galatea Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yep same problem here, in my Merchant Outbox window it says 'If you'd like to become a merchant, you'll need to create a Marketplace store' and will not let me drag anything to it. I bought a bear which made my Received Items folder show up, but that's it so far. Can't do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sera Lok Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Everyone - if you still have a Merchant Outbox that is not recognizing your store, try logging out of the Marketplace website and then back in., then relog into Second Life. This just worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfaqua Oh Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hello, I already afraid of the big progress on the marketplace, has just opened I receive an error message already. Marketplace initialization failed Initialization whith the Marketplace failed because of a system or network error . Try again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy McGregor Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It looks pretty straightforward so far. I successfully created a test listing. One thing that is not particularly apparent is how to go about updating items already listed. It used to be that I could just replace that item in the magic box. Saving updated product to the original folder I sent to the outbox, and re-uploading that folder just creates a new, unassociated item on the Marketplace side. It would be very disappointing if I had to delete current listings and create brand new ones each time I needed to roll an update. What am I missing?

"Edit associated object" button from the Product's Listing (in Edit mode) perhaps? (Just guessing, but it makes sense.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaraSimone Sixpence Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I am really hoping someone at LL is reading these posts. OK. Your schedule lists as follows: April 18, 2012: All listings priced L$10 and lower must use Direct Delivery May 16, 2012: Magic Boxes no longer allowed for any Marketplace listing Did ANYONE IN LL take into account that Passover an 8 day holiday is at the beginning of April and that many people are away for 8-14 days? Did anyone in LL take into account that if you have 4500+ items in the MP no matter how fast this is, and even it works without flaws, that it still is a time-consumming process, and some of us do have other things to do in life besides MP and SL? Did anyone in LL take into account that this amount of leeway for something first implemented on March 21st is absolutely ludicrous? Tell me please. Is there any sort of calendar hanging on a wall in the LL office? Or do you throw darts to pick dates and times and schedules? For goodness sakes...GET REAL!

Timothy McGregor Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The original item gets displaced back to the unassociated list, so you just delete it from there and everything's tidy.

Michi Lumin Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 So, from what I can tell, support for ANS is up in the air. We keep our own database of purchases, and have for eight years. Relying on the marketplace's purchase history is not a way we can go. This is a very serious issue. With 3 weeks to convert, and ANS not being released for another (undetermined) few weeks, this is seriously going to put a crunch on us with ~300 listings.

Darrius Gothly Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have it on good authority they will be releasing ANS shortly .. and definitely before they start cutting off Magic Boxes or anything like that. There are a lot of us that NEED the ANS feature before we convert, so it'll be there. It will require some rewrite on the code that accepts and posts the ANS transactions to your local database, so I would recommend copying your existing script and editing the copy .. keeping both the Magic Box and the DD versions onilne and functional. The URL will be entered in a different location too, so they won't collide; you will be able to have both versions live at the same time. BTW: The rewrite is minimal, basically centering around verifying transactions. If you know (or someone that works with you knows) PHP or whatever language your current ANS handling code is written in, it should take you less than 30 minutes to make the changes.

Michi Lumin Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ok, very interesting... So ANS is going to be transactional, you're saying? Or that it will exist in different states (delivery started, delivery confirmed)? In any case I'm glad I'm not one of the only ones who's waiting. And, really, thanks for the heads up; the more information on this, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrius Gothly Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It will be transactional, just like for Magic Boxes. The ANS Transaction will be sent after the product is delivered and payment has been made to the Merchant. So from an accounting perspective, it's a known good and delivered and paid sales transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galatea Gothly Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I got also this error message! Is there a solution for this error? Marketplace initialization failed Initialization with the Marketplace failed because of a system or network error. Try again later. Is the API using specific protocols or ports? Where can I fill a bug? Firestorm 4.0.1 (27000) Linux 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you require ANS, subtract a week at the beginning, if you sell L$10 and less items, then the date is in 3 weeks time so that's 2 weeks time frame. Now consider that yes, it's Easter coming up... Easter holidays anyone? Poof goes the store. (ok a little dramatic but quite possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilde Destiny Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Everything works for me. Did the stuff as said on the DD Guide page and deleted my magic box after seeing everything listed as "Direct" under "Delivery". Just bought each of my 15 products and it's working fine.
