    A Better Way to Search the Marketplace

    in Merchants

    Posted

    Tired of looking for items on the Marketplace only to end up with pages of results unrelated to what you were looking for? And they tell us the marketplace search engine isn't gamed. Well, there is a much better way to search:

    go to Google, and in the search bar type: site:marketplace.secondlife.com

    With a space after it type your search term, eg: site:marketplace.secondlife.com skins

    This will bring up the standard Google list of sites, so I click images and voila!, pages of relevant search results.

    And Stupidity Runs Rampant

    Thanks Marcus. I personally never use the subscriptions for the very reasons you gave, but I am suffering the ridiculousness going on with the payment system and could not help but be aware of the simultaneous failure of the subscription system as well. I know why it is happening: you have gaming developers attempting to write fiduciary software for what they think are only gaming tokens, but everyone else, including the federal government, considers it an online currency, and as such it should be handled as cash. You would think someone would get a clue at Linden Labs, but the Marketplace failures continue to mount and the levels of non-communication continue to multiply.

    Cashing Out - Processing still down??

    I started the 6th last Sunday and I'm still waiting a week later. Used to be under the 'old' horrible wait times you could request monday and get it by thursday. Now we have a new order of stupidity going on since they have their own self-declared monopoly. How I miss Virwox with their instantaneous transfers :-P

    SL Business Directory

    Thank you for the supportive replies everyone. My entire trouble has been in actually trying to contact someone. Their email link is invalid, the contact person listed on their home page no longer responds to IMs or even notecards, and when you try to click the support link it tells you your password is invalid even though you are already logged in to their site. So I am at a complete loss as to how to even reach anyone for help from that business.

    Learned a hard lesson recently as a business owner in SL. I tried a site called metabizlist that the Lindens promoted as an SL Business Directory ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Brands ). I registered Lunaria, got approved, paid L$1000 for advertising costs, then got a message that Lunaria was not a real business. My business has been on the marketplace for 4 years and I have an in-world showcase where all of the displays are set for sale. The support person listed on the site did not respond to IMs and their email link was invalid. I then tried to submit a support ticket but the support link would not allow me to log in. Lost L$1000 on that one.
