Can relate 100% on this first paragraph. i do also think the reopening of some countries might have to do with drops for some stores , but other then that everything seems ok, regular 'slower' summertimes. For the OP and some others , I would not worry that much about it, September is right around the corner

I can pitch in , having a store that does have CSRs, my reasoning for it is because we have literally 1000s of products so it's really hard for just one person to keep track anymore. as far as DRD goes, our csrs are pretty awesome and usually respond fairly quick, if they can answer they will, We also get a lot of the same questions , and the csrs on our team know theyre way around the products very well if they can't answer someone they will poke me quickly on discord and I am there within a few minutes, unless I am gone IRL ofcourse... But we always try our best for customers, I can't relate to those stores because my motto allways had been, if there arent any customers.. you got nothing really, they should be priority nr1 and not be treated like a number. if there is a critical error, it might take some time to fix if i'm in the middle of some event deadlines... there will always be instances where something goes wrong or we can't really fully help out but I always try my best atleast or refund if needed. recently i have setup a command system in the inworld group , where people can type a !command , like !help or !gachas and they will get info , links, and csr contacts sent their way incase no one is around to answer, people also need some time off The only thing i have seen myself ignore at times are some event invites >.> But theres ways stores can make things better , like proper csr training/hiring , logging in daily - having "office" hours to take care of all customer related issues , I also don't really get why they would not do this. I hope maybe a creator will take some advice from this ... I'm really happy theres still stores around that do this,I did it all myself aswell the first 7/8 years.i loved being super close connected to customers, I can totally relate to this. I sometimes wish i could still do it all myself but unfortunatly i think i'd be dragged into an asylum pretty soon after , I try to answer as much as i can myself though . WIshing OP the best and i also hope you get better experiences in the future

Watched the movie and i cant stop listening to the cheesey songs

Binge Watching Jelle's Marble Runs on youtube, it's what i needed in my life right now. production top notch quality And the new league just started 🤣

OOh, would be nice to see the results of that ^^

I'll chime in as a builder myself and having built complete sims for fantasy fair etc .. and building massive structures for my store inworld. a building like this would fit on ,i would say half a sim. It's not like building a nice sim made out of existing items or putting prims together, I do that in a day or 3. for me personally ( working with 2 people everyday for about 10 or more hours) this would take about 2 to 3 weeks minimum and 4 to 5 weeks maximum -custom mesh from scratch and textured creating handmade custom materials- might be a bit longer depending on the insides it's .. a lot, specially if you want a good quality build. If i would take on this job, it would have to make up for what i lose on time for the store and new releases. It would be about 600-900k for a job like this in total. but thats a a personal quota. I hope this helps giving a bit of an idea on what to expect from experienced 3d builders. I'm unsure if anyone would do it for lower then 100rl dollars but you never know in SL. I hope you can however find someone who is up for the task and has the free time to do it on a low budget. Good luck and take care !

I'm also going to just leave a bit of advice , you can take it or leave it .. When i started my store I had even less items for sale, i literally had 3 prims that i set for sale with a shirt in them, i rented a wall for like.. 25L or something at a very dodgy club..I never thought it would lead anywhere to be honest. but it all started from there , few months later i ended up with a booth, a booth turned into a parcel, a parcel turned into a quarter sim, a quarter sim turned into half a sim and half a sim turned into 3 sims .. but we are 12 years later now... it didnt happen with a lil fingersnap. it's been a long ride ... that's for sure, i've taken bad advice, good advice .. ignored critique, accepted critique .. the whole shezaam .. been trough managers, admins, co creators, co owners.... But in the end I've always stayed true to myself and i been determined to get better and keep learning , i never gave up , even now im learning new things and its been years. You can't just ask someone to do everything for you and pay everything, you can't pop up a small brand in a day.. (few exceptions) I've seen small brands grow fast but you just need to sit down a bit and rethink /rebrand and make solid ads , a solid logo, a solid consistant template for products and just keep trying your best, stay connected , follow SL communities, discords, groups etc.. make up a good brand plan for yourself and keep the products coming and things will move forward. it doesnt take a lot of lindens for uploads , just invest a few bucks for initial uploads , do your test uploads on opensim so its free and have fun with it... As long as you have fun , enjoy what you do it should not be a lot of effort .. don't put pressure on yourself , dont have too high expectations .. just go with the flow and see where it takes you Grtz Jaimy ( DRD )

They can hurry it up a bit this review is taking a week now , bit unethical to completely block someones earnings imo.

hiii i made this themepark for my store as a new release and i thought it be sooooo cool to make a trailer for it , so i did my first try at videomaking in sl , i have a new respect for machinima artists!! this was so hard quality isnt all there but its a good first attempt ^^ im happy how it turned out haha you can watch it a bit better on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaimyhancroft/16442687458/ I hope u like! lemme know some thoughts :D

I did a sell order the day they announced this to see how long it would take. sell order was on the 7th .. its the 16th now and still nothing on paypal ... that just NOT normal... +i still have to wait 5 work days from pp to bank

PODEX: Tonight at 2.00 o’clock all my accounts related to Podex Exchange were put on hold by Linden Lab. I really believed that the new ToS is meant to protect avatars from the risk of fraud. That was my goal as well so I was looking forward to cooperate with Linden Lab. I could not imagine that over one night they would want to destroy our cooperation and everything what I built for 6 years of my virtual life. They did. I believed that they would answer my requests to start discussion. They did not. All customers whose transactions have not been completed are asked to contact our support. I personally promise that they will not lose their money. Podex is still working but its Second Life activity is now stopped.

exactly the same for me .. and no one seems to have an asnwer for us with this issue ... im super stuck atm

I have been using a third party because in our country not every random person can easily get a credit card in here, because they are more secure about it, my mom doesnt even own a credit card.. its not a normal thing here like in the US where you get a credit card going trough freakin carwash or whatever lol. i tried using lindex before in the past using a verified paypal , i verified it with my bank account, but LL doesnt allow it to go trough unless the paypal is linked to a credit card .. so i had no way of exchanging unless it was trough a third party. im pretty sure im not the only one with this problem. any suggestions? i cant get a cc here .. so .. my opinion if LL wouldnt allow third parties anymore i think they should atleast allso give more options to EU users to exchange lindens trough banking or checking accounts and not just credit cards

Hi im a designer and still learning mesh.. i can build mesh but not rigg yet or do a proper UVmapping on it yet (learning) i rigged some things but its not up to my standards yet.. i will get there..but for now.. i need someone that can fill in for the time being. I'm allso busy right now with another project as texturizer for a company wich has me left out of learning a bit for now. allthough i would like to have some custom mesh items.. im kinda tired of the templates that are out there and everybody else has iv allways been unique with textures and sculpts and right now its hard to be with every store getting the same full perm meshes. Im willing to do a split between 60-70% profit for you, , i want to texture the meshes myself and all the other works the split profit is permanent.. or if you prefer a one time payment thats fine too .. whatever you think its best for you. i own death row design its been around a long time and i have a little bit of everything .. i have a steady group of buyers and devoted customers (6000+ in group and 2000+in subscribers) and i want to evolve a bit and change the store around one more time too in the near future (vendorstyle) im looking for someone who can do rigged mesh clothing and boots.. it will be for a couple times.. not a daily job but sporadicly as you wish and maybe we can work together on something or other agreements .. im flexible IM me inworld or send me a private message if you are interested in the job and send me some examples of the work too :) Thank you for reading :D

Do you have patience? are you fast but still good with photoshop? need some extra cash? have some extra free time in the next few days? For revamping of a store i need someone with SL and photoshop experience to help redo all my vendors, Im working on them myself aswell but i want to get it done before sept 12th :) so i could use a hand. Im talking about aprox 100 vendor images. not the most fun job, its kind of boring but it has to be done. and if i cant find any help then its bad luck for me haha... :D work process: I will send a template, send all the pictures and walk you trough what needs to be done for every picture.. so no fun lol...but it is kinda easy.. its just mindless mass produce for a bit till everything is done. more info on wage/pay(will be between 20-50k depending on how long it takes for you, the faster the better) /time/meeting send me a message here or a notecard in sl with title 'WANTED' please dont apply if you dont have any experience in photoshop. hugs jaimy

Hello everyone :) About three weeks ago i started doing pile ups in flickr as practice I love doing my own thing with a picture. I allso work in a studio where i do my regular photomanipulations with requests , wich i really like :) but... I'd love to start an art studio, where you can get a picture done of your avatar but leaving the artist upto it .. So it would be more of an artwork with your avatar, then a regular profile shot. Im not sure if people would like it or be interested or how much they would be willing to pay since i dont know a lot of rates in photostudios and since this is not really a photostudio thing.. hmn im not sure what to do.. go for it , or not? or would you be interested in a unique photo if you had the chance? going to post some of what i did so far, would be nice to get some input on this :) thank you and my flickr for more stuff : http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaimyhancroft/sets/72157631287659502/
