  1. Just some of my own observations: PayPal tax reporting is required when the sender identifies the product as goods and services to the IRS. This requirement applies once you receive $600 USD or more from this type of payment. Although this transaction is reportable by PayPal, it's possible that the transaction is not taxable. So is the "cash out" considered Goods and Services? If yes, then who has the Goods and took benefit of the Services TIlla? Also, in lieu of "panic mode" remember the reporting guidelines, Who needs to file a tax return | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
  2. I was able to use it last night from the Product Listing page and today it is gone. What gives?
  3. LL is NOT - a non profit business. I don't know what their overhead is, but based on the difficulty getting a human on the phone at their office and the fact their office hasn't moved in 2 decades, I'm going to have to say other than the AWS portion, not much compared to the 3+ million a month they collect in Land fees.
  4. So the 3+ million a month they make on Land doesn't cover the AWS servers, office and seemingly 2 employees one of which we cant talk to on the phone? Seems right.
  5. Mine also - I was as adjusted as I could get to giving up 125 - 150 dollars a month between cashing out and converting it to spendable dollars, now I'll have to get used to giving up 150 - 175 dollars a month, so to buffer that some I'll have to run my sales at a lesser discount and half as often, so really both me and the customer will suffer for it. That being said, I could see fee increases, if we were getting value added across the board, but when I call corporate and want to talk to a human, as I've been an active contributing part of this endeavor for 15 years, I'd really like to be able to do that. But it seems services rendered are also getting smaller.
  6. So - basically one or two people man the offices now at LL - takes 85 times calling to get a human on the phone, and then you have to go thru billing, or you just get redirected to the website and hung up on and now on top of it 5% of the money I earn goes right back into LL's pocket, PLUS the percentage to ship the money off to Paypal or Skrill. I'll tell you whos getting the shaft here, the creators, the go getters, thats who.
  7. If they are going to have this forum - it would be nice if someone with answers would monitor it, odes absolutely no good to have it if nobody of authority can answer a simple question like, where are the banned text words specifically?
  8. As it turn out ... "http://gridurl.appspot.com/random" appears to be permanently down.
  9. This appears to be the error, why its decided to show up NOW - is on you guys ... "URL passed to llHTTPRequest contains a control character."
  10. Jira = Black hole where questions go to die.
  11. HEY! Instead of all this bull***** that doesn't help beginner scriptors, how about somebody leave some script examples since you all decided to break all my updaters? I mean you guys just go off and change whatever you want and take no mind to stuff that's been working perfectly fine for half a decade ... no big deal right?
  12. Yeah - just gotta watch them like a hawk because they'll raise your tier a couple times a week - without warning. Something in the name of economics but really its just deceptive business practices.
  13. I like how they tout "It will be available to Premium members" like it still wont coast almost 40 USD to make the change. Its a serious , SERIOUS rip off, how about, charge NON PREMIUM members the 40 bucks and limit the frequency of Premium members name changes to say 90 Days? Just a rant here but ... I mean hell they already make something in excess of 3 million USD a month on land and god knows what on Linden exchange fees, just keep raping the people that pay your bills and soon you wont have any people....
  14. llNavigateTo(llList2Vector(points, i),[FORCE_DIRECT_PATH, TRUE]); moving = TRUE; It works pretty flawlessly on the sim, my only complaint with it is the pauses ...
  15. pathfinding - list of coordinates in globals - simple character stuff, just seems to be a 1 second pause between 1 coord to the next coord cant seem to get rid of it.
  16. Mine allow you o do just that - or shoot a gun ...or aim and shoot a turret while driving ... or just look at the bird poop on your side windows ...
  17. Any hard and fast way to eliminate the pause I have noticed when a Character moves between co-ordinates?
  18. How do you implement the pause in the list of coordinates?
  19. Are we not able to issue refunds via Marketplace? If for whatever reason I do issue a refund in world I get shafted on the Marketplace fees?
  20. None of my TV's will play movies, not from Crackle, not from any other website that posts movies. Anyone have an explanation for this? (Talking Media on a Prim of course). They either redirect to a white screen or they reset the TV.
  21. No currency transfer fee, I live in the US.
  22. Is it Abuse to sell $696.00 worth of Linden to LL and net $652 after its gone to paypal?
  23. The issue is, LL still uses archaic methods like UDP routing .... completely unsupported by ANY proxy including Socks5.
