It's hard to imagine who you'll be satisfying. I did a general search for 'plants' - so maybe you'll be pleasing those merchants with items that hardly ever sell, which are now coming up on the first pages. Old overpriced palm trees by the same merchant, one after the other - these are the top selling plants? When I use the current search, the results make sense. I didn't go any further than this one test, and it failed. Please don't release it, it just doesn't work. I'm not filling out a jira on something that isn't even close to working.

Yes, you need to do this when you manually migrate. Just make sure you copy the correct number to its listing. It is easy, just a bit of concentrating when you're doing a lot and your brain goes into auto pilot.

Just have it default to the name of the listing's folder. ........but I'm also not going to let it go to the auto-update, thanks to seeing what the version folders wind up doing. This is a known issue in the jiras and is still unresolved for manual migration, but for auto migration Brooke posted this What will my migrated items look like in my inventory? If you choose to have your listings automatically migrated, listing and version folders will automatically be created for you. Both of these folders will be named after the "SL Object Name" you can see on your listing. I take this to mean that the naming of the initial version folder will be the same as the listing folder in auto migration.

If you choose to have your listings automatically migrated, listing and version folders will automatically be created for you. Both of these folders will be named after the "SL Object Name" you can see on your listing. I hope both these folders do take the 'SL Object Name'. Perhaps there are some tricks built into auto migration that were not available in manual migration. If so, great . So far it seems you guys have done a great job and there may not be anything to fear.

Good post Shayne I just did a manual migration and it all went smoothly enough. Let me add to your post that it does take a bit of concentration to make sure you don't mess up. Just a couple more things I want to add: Shayne Hesten wrote: Second point relates to the folder structure we were encouraged to use for DD. The migration works fine if you just have one folder with a number of items inside it. However, if you have a folder with several named sub-folders, that will not work - or, if it does, I never found a way around it. Most of my listings have subfolders as I sell packs, and I had no problem migrating these. All I did was moved one sub-folder over to MP Listings Window just to create a Listings and Active(Version) folder. then renamed these and emptied the contents of the 'active' folder. I then moved all my subfolders into this active version folder. It's a simple matter of creating a 'Listing' and 'Version' folder and then naming them and filling the version folder with sub-folders, items or notecards etc. Shayne Hesten wrote: When you place a folder of objects into the Merchant Listings window, the sub-folder takes the name of one of the objects and it is not necessarily an object that relates to what you are selling. It is easy to change the name of that sub-folder and might be necessary in case customers wonder what is being delivered. Yes, I found this the most time-consuming part, and it really is a shame that the sub-folder (active folder) does not take on the name of main Listing Folder. This would make more sense than choosing a name in the sub-folder. The main concern I have with this is how will the auto migration handle the naming of the sub-folder (also called version or active folder). As you said, this won't be a problem if it is just one box but folders with multiple items may be a problem depending on how they do it.

Hi Marcy, let me help you here since I don't think Commerce Team response did. If you create the item yoruself (or use full perm items to create your item) then it is copy to you. Therefore, even if you set the item as no copy it will still be copy to the creator (you). You won't have to refill the folder. No copy refers to items like breedables that are no copy, transfer to the seller and they can only sell the limited amount they own.

Yes, I switched back to Firestorm as well. It took me a while to realise that the Marketplace Listings Folder looks like a normal folder, and I almost deleted the items in it when doing a clean up :matte-motes-shocked:

Thought I'd give my 2 cents as well. I have tried the VMM and listed 3 items without any problems. What I like most is updating a listing is much faster and easier. I often make small changes many times before moving on to my next creation, and now all I do is delete and replace the item in the 'active' folder and it's done. This is particularly fast if your items are not boxed. And if you forget to add something to your listing like a notecard or LM (this is me again) then just pop it into the 'active' folder and done. No need to refresh anything. It's like having a 'magic box' in your inventory but even better. DD was much better than magic boxes and this is much better than DD. I can't wait, now..... ...all I hope for is that the migration goes smoothly.

I wonder if my Marketplace Initializing failure has anything to do with this new system, or is it a coincidence?

Me too. I sent a support ticket and waiting it out. Maybe it's happening to others too. and yes I sent my name in to try the new system Edit: Support Team fixed my problem. I suggest you send a ticket.

yes, it does seem to be friendlier. I also like that mesh items don't blow out in LI cost when you make an item bigger. Like a decent size mesh tree is still just 2 LI. That surprised me. And also land is so cheap. It's really great if you're a builder and can just import your items. But for people who aren't builders there isn't much to buy yet. hopefully that will change, because it's so much cheaper. Again, I love that fact that mesh can be made bigger and the LI stays low.
