Thanks very much @Qie Niangao, much appreciated.

Hello, asking for a bit of advice: if you buy land which states 'items included': how does that work? You can use them till you delete them but they remain the property of the original owner? How can you ensure items remain on the property? If auto-return of items is selected will the old landowners items be deleted/trashed? Can you edit left items to a new position? What if an item is a gacha item: will it somehow transfer to me as the new owner? Best wishes.

Today I am wearing 'Dressed By A Dove', a small token towards the person, and designers, who have supported the newbies of SL. I have the faintest memory of Palomma/Diannia helping me (years ago in another life) find my own first place to live in SL. I loved that place and learned a lot about making friends/neighbors/prims/furniture/texturing changing etc, while resident there. I saw her a few times after around in world in the years after - always helpful, always friendly. She stood out to me: remembered. To all her SL family and friends I wish them much comfort in these hard times: Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. -Mary Frye

I would say that it's not gacha that has trashed the search function in MP as much as MP vendors not adhering to and/or understanding to how key words search work.

I can't see anything on the grid status regarding inventory issues and I keep getting the message "Cannot derez object due to inventory fault" . Anyone know what this means and/or what to do about it?

Hi Luhkey, As mentioned in the post, I opened a support ticket and that was the response. As I mentioned also I hadn't had a chance to try it, but thanks for letting me know it didn't solve the issue. If you get a different response, let us know. Best wishes

I had the same issue and contacted support, reply as below. I've not had a chance to try it yet but just in case it helps: " Please try removing the folder from your Marketplace Listings UI window by moving the folder back to your main SL inventory, then try resending the folder back to the Marketplace again. The Failure to Load folder name is usually caused by a communication issue between your SL Inventory and the Marketplace database. Moving the folder out of the Marketplace Listing area and moving it back again should resend the information to the MKT Database. "

Thanks to all for replying. Good suggestions and thoughtful comments too. 🙂

I recently became aware while purchasing items from a gacha machine that one of the items in the set was not included in the machine and one item was duplicated. I contacted the creator as well as the store manager as shown in their profiles to do with a NC but have heard nothing back. I joined their group for L$50 and asked if anyone else had had a problem with the machine and was told by group members they haven't seen the creator around for a couple of years now. Another gacha collector told me they had written to them regarding this same issue about 3 years ago and never heard back. I feel frustrated and slightly deceived by the gacha machine experience as there is no chance of completing the set from the machine. But my real question is how can stores legitimately go on existing and taking money for in-world products, gacha items, group membership and MP sales for years on end with no apparent owner, no customer service and no recourse for customers? I am also aware of another store which this appears to have happened, having contacted them several times at the beginning of January and have never heard back regarding a product issue. Is there a way of knowing if a store is actively being managed before spending Lindens there?

Yes Connor, it is happening again. I expect we are not the only ones hit overnight as well. While I truly appreciate the return on lindens after they are removed from our account this is only papering over the problem. I work hard to collect a set. I don't have the money to just go and pull machines endlessly to obtain one so I am not only financially invested in my sets, I have an emotional attachment to them as well by the time I have collected them. Yes, I am willing to sell them but like any collector one hopes they are going to someone who appreciates them, not just stolen for sport, malice or illegally gotten personal financial gain. Again @Patch Linden and @Grumpity Linden when might we get a progress update regarding the issues raised at user and governance meetings, as well as here on the forum i.e. the option of non-gifting of transferable items, the return of inventory items stolen off of LL Marketplace, etc? We need to feel safe on MP. Please.

I also have had another Linden Dollar adjustment with no email alerting me to the lindens being reclaimed. I would encourage all MP merchants to check their transaction history for Destination: Recovery Linden Linden Adjustment Description: CSR Move Linden Dollars I filed a ticket yesterday regarding what I considered a suspicious purchase - Avatar A buying a RARE as a gift to one day old Avatar B who then disappeared from search. This is the item I subsequently got the assessment on. I have filed a follow-up ticket. @Patch Linden @Grumpity Linden Please can you update us on progress on this matter?

@jds2 - hope this helps: Patch Linden Not a Newbie Administrators 3,850 267 posts Report post Posted February 4 Hi everyone! I wanted to give you an update on what we’re working on. The assessment process is not one that is typically handled by the Governance or Support teams for Second Life, however, we are here to help with it. As we continue to review the processes and policies that are currently in place with the team handling it, we have come up with an interim solution of putting a direct review process in place for anyone that has an assessment made to an account within our teams. If you’ve had an assessment levied against your account and would like to have our team further review it, please file a support ticket using Issue Type: Marketplace > General Marketplace Issues. Rest assured that we are working on a way to make this process as painless, efficient and non-penalizing as possible going forward. We appreciate your patience as we work towards that together with all of you.

One idea, as tracking seems so difficult for SL itself, might be for creators to take the lead on this issue and start to number their gacha items, similar as artists do for limited edition prints? I am not entirely sure how it would work technically but in an artist's case a limited edition has a fixed number of items in a set. They are marked with 2 numbers, the unique number of the print and the size of the print run ( ie 1/1000 or 149/40,000). If someone needed to release more they could do a 1/1000B? A thought anyways.
