I'm hoping the answer is yes. Overwrite would be a lot easier in case we want to change a landmark in the folder or add a notecard or something. That way there's no reassociating to do on the website. Yes it replaces the old one, BUT it keeps a copy of the Magic Box listing (though it is offline). I deleted the Magic Box listing after I check to make sure all DD listing was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasher Oh Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Nah it was petty, I just disagreed with his request for comments on that controversial jira about online status to be purely technical and not have emotional 'me too' responses as well. A few hours later I was unable to log into the jira system and have been locked out ever since - maybe coincidence but I think not. I can read the jiras but can't login but the same password lets me access all other areas. I was shut out without notice or explanation so I can only conclude that if not Oz then some other Linden saw reds under the bed. You can check it out here https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4823? Anyway back to the main topic. I still can't get my Merchant Outbox to activate. I've tried every viewer possible and cleared cache and logged out of market place and back in - all to no avail. I'm happy you and many other have had some success and it really wouldn't bother me too much if they hadn't said that there was a 2 month to drop dead date. I have a heck of a lot going on RL right now and some vacation time coming up too. So with over 1000 items needing to be migrated (and I will not be sending unboxed folders to folks as the box is part of many of my products) it's going to eat more time than I was planning for :-( ^L^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasher Oh Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My Merchant Outbox isn't working. What's up? If you are using the Second Life Viewer, a relog should get you going. You might even have to log off and back on the Marketplace to make sure your account is all set up. If that does not work, file a JIRA or contact support. ------------- Would have filed a jira by now but it seems this particular premium paying member is barred from the process *sigh* ^L^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Scorpio Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Lasher I feel your frustration, it is not working for me either. I don't think that the reason it does not work for me is related to your problem though. I just created a jira https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4548 anyone who uses Linux having the same problem please vote, and even if you don't use Linux please vote still so they can fix this for me I will give you all hugs!

Nefertiti Nefarious Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 However, due to limitations on the Merchant outbox, you may still need to employ boxes if your listing needs to contain: More than 200 objects More than 20 folders Folders more than 4 levels deep Can you give a couple of examples? Is that the limit for the Merchant outbox? For any top-level folder in it, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefertiti Nefarious Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Trying to read: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Selling-in-the-Marketplace/ta-p/700193 Reading how to add items Packaging your items in a box It is not usually necessary to pack items in a box if you wish to sell more than one item in a single Marketplace listing. Instead, you may add the packaged items to a single folder in your Merchant outbox, as described in Adding a new item to your Marketplace listings. However, due to limitations on the Merchant outbox, you may still need to employ boxes if your listing needs to contain: More than 200 objects More than 20 folders Folders more than 4 levels deep Link should go here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/tkb/articleeditorpage/tkb-id/English_KB%40tkb/template-id/freeform#Section_.5.3 But I get this message: Sorry, you do not have sufficient privileges for that action.

When a buyer looks at the listings, a message on the right of the screen will read as follows: Use It Now This item will be delivered directly to you or a friend in Second Life, unpacked and ready to use. No land or sandbox required. If a merchant is simply converting packed objects to DD at this time, and not actually unpacking them into deliverable folders, this message is incorrect. A merchant simply converting packed objects to DD would have to edit each listing to "Unpacking" in the "Usage Requirements" to get the following" Unpacking Required This item requires you to find a place in Second Life (like a Sandbox) to unpack and use it. Changing this to default to "Unpacking" would have better. If I may offer a slightly "smarter" solution: If there is one item in the newly uploaded folder and that one item has the same name as the folder name THEN set it to Unpacking. However if there is more than one item or if the single item has a different name than the folder, set it to "None" (or whatever the "no need to unpack" option is called).

I have had these type of errors before with LL stuff and what it has turned out to be is an internet hiccup. If you need to be inworld and logged in to the website at the same time turn your graphics down. I often turn mine all the way to low so it eats up less internet bandwidth. With these type of failures I find the more bandwidth you can give the process at hand the better. It seems like if it is interrupted even the tiniest bit, it will fail.

Lasher Oh Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 And the new sorting of inventory by date rather than by name is making the task even more time consuming especially as it takes two slow clicks to sort the list alphabetically then when you do get the items cross checked and deleted the page defaults back to sorted by date again. It's crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasher Oh Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm not inworld - the problem is that the merchants tools for the marketplace have always been below par, slow and ill thought through. The people who work on this site seem to have not a single clue about how to design a speedier interface rather they actually seem to deliberately build in stumbling blocks and have taken away simple common sense features such as persistant refreshes when we have chosen our prefered inventory layout. ^L^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasher Oh Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 the really scary crazy thing is that having to delete each item 1 by 1 and it taking at least 45 second each to refresh must be putting much more load on the server than what it would be if the bulk delete feature actually worked ^L^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 1 at item at a time and painfully slow refreshing that would make chewing my own ankle off less painful - grrrrrrr - Thank You NOT CLT ^L^ Hey, Lasher: I got this message from Dakota Linden about deleting the unassociated items from the direct delivery migration. To speed things up: "If the products you are trying to remove from your Unassociated Inventory section are the old items that were in the Magic Box, you can quickly remove everything there using the following steps. Pick up the Magic Box in world so that it is no longer rezzed in world with the products, or open the Magic Box and move all of the items back into your Inventory. Click on Sync Marketplace to Magic Box. This should force the web site to see that the Magic Box items are no longer there, and clear your Unassociated Inventory section at once." If that works...that will at least help speed up deleting the old stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine Markova Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It works, that's what I did...and everything in the unassociated items are gone!!! Although, you DO have to delete the magic box listing under your Merchant Account Inventory dropdown, otherwise it'll persist. At least that's what I had to do.

Darrius Gothly Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 DoC, I just found out that you can "Bulk Edit" to change a bunch of listings all at once from "None" to "Unpacking". That will save a lot of time in editing a lot of listings at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Nouvelle Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have just read the notes on using direct delivery, and it appears that ALL items must now be transfer. that really messes up some of my products that are mod copy/ no trans, surely this is not right ??

Can you copy/paste that information from their wiki or KB please? I've read everything pretty closely and don't remember seeing it anywhere. There's a lot of folks that have moved to DD 100% today .. and I know for a fact a lot of them are selling No Transfer items without error.

Try logging out of Marketplace (with the "Sign Out" button in the upper right corner of the Marketplace website) the close your Browser. Then sign out of SL and close your Viewer. Wait about 3-5 minutes then ... Sign back into Marketplace. When you log in successfully, fire up your Viewer and log into SL then try your Merchant Outbox again. That seems to help most folks, it might just fix your issue too. (With a nod of thanks to Sera Lok for posting that solution elsewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
