What do I need to do to sign up? go a little crazy and step into the parallel universe with me. Let's face it, you'll never see an email like this from them but it is nice to dream, isn't it? Ever since this mess began I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe. I've heard of that (parallel universes) but thought it was more "Area 51" stuff. I'm beginning to believe. I've fallen in the rabbit hole...maybe I'll see you on the way down...*grins* We are in a Uni-code version of Area 14, I fear

I see my history but now each item contains where it was delivered also. [received or object folder] Wonder how long that has been available and why they backflushed it to the orders from the beginning?

You can actually im/message them though their my.secondlife.com web profile. i/e. you can message me by going here https://my.secondlife.com/argus.collingwood login and then pick im or message. Just backspace through my link and put their name in the url with a period between first and last name.

Andrea Sage wrote: Ok... so I noticed I hadnt had ANY marketplace sales the last couple of days... and I go and check on my MP store listings since I know LL has been having probs with the direct delivery. Now I see why I am getting almost no sales... almost all of my products have pictures of OTHER vendors items, and MY product pictures are on OTHER vendors items. I have only migrated ONE item to DD as a test. Oddly... its one of the few items that isnt messed up. I anyone seeing this in their marketplace stores? Its affecting about 75% of my items... definately NOT going to upload the rest of my store until this gets fixed. Thanks again LL for breaking something that worked perfectly... again. Yikes, so the items had looked fine until today? This means we are having a domino effect perhaps And the products are in the 14xxxxxx series. This can not be good. If things were this crazy before, why haven't more folks noticed? Andrea, add your name and the product numbers to this JIRA please? https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-4587?

I re-delievered to you numerous times and you never even said if you got the item. Communication works both ways yanno;) Instead you left a terrible review bohisssss

Pamela Galli wrote: Ooh smart -- #1473084 is my lowest in the 14xxxx set. So far the lowest number I have found in the series is 1402645, anyone got anything lower that is messed up? ETA found one lower but it is TMI and sort of funny 1402618 NSFW

Arwen Serpente wrote: laughs, thank you Argus, I may be able to make dresses, but my hovering skills leave something to be desired. No, there shouldn't be anything inbetween there. how did you do that? I wemt to your SLM store, sorted 96 items per page first then sorted by oldest date and they were on page 2;-)

Arwen Serpente wrote: Let me do some homework to get a list (or at least partial) of my 14x range. Is there an easier way to do it than the "hover" method. Laughs, it's gonna take me forever to hover and copy! Edited to add: I did a quick look at the products I have in that range (2 groupings). They start at 1463585 and up (apparantly unaffected). Ok your listings jump from 1364484 [Angelfood] to 1463572 [braveheart] so on your sorted inventory listings [by date] if anything falls between those two, it might have an issue.

Josh Susanto wrote: If anyone really wants something more definitive done about this issue, please tell me: To what calendar period does 14xxxxx correspond? Let me do some research but I am thinking between 8/31/2010 and 10/31/2010 If anyone having a borked listing could check the date in their inventory management area and report back, that would be great.

Czari Zenovka wrote: Maybe it's a case of - Not all 140000 items are borked, but all the borked items are in the 140000 range. It would be interesting to hear if anyone has a borked item *not* in this range. Also, one of my borked listings was linked to a MP store with a LOT of items. While looking through that store I noticed tons of those listings were borked. I sent an IM and notecard to the merchant to let her know in case she had not heard. Her profile says she is not in SL much anymore and I have not heard anything back from her. (I sent this last week.) I am thinking there are many merchants who have borked listings, are losing sales, and have no idea whatsoever. My thoughts too most [if not all] issues of items appearing in others lists are of the 14xxxxxx range.

Please check your listings folks. I have found that 14xxxxxx series items are more likely to be problems. If you have listings that are broken please add them to the JIRAs .

ETA : you put a number of the borked listing into SLM search like 1418428 then view it as a wrong listing then change that number to 1418429, 430,431 etc etc you can see all those series are borked. /me Points to error;) Would you please comment on the JIRA with that info? It certainly matches up with my items... Yep added my comment as posted above.

The difference surely wouldn't pay well for the time spent creating Marketplace listings. Not so. Much, if not most of the items on the SLM would be cost-prohibitive to sell in-world, and the demand for low-end and component level items would plummet. With the SLM, you can quickly find thousands of similar items, but if you had to track them down in-world to compare them, it would take so long that a lot of stuff, people just wouldn't even bother to look at, much less buy. yup Mising image? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Couple-Raft-91-animations-Special-Price/1406470 Might want to check your store and file a ticket.

Upwards!

Going to complain now a little to make myself feel better so you dont have to read on.... Alot of my listing were getting ranked very nicely for awhile and my sales were at all time highs then MP went to hell. My listings dropped in rankings and now they freeze the rankings with my items hardly seen. I spent many many hours of work, time, deals, gifts and who knows what else to get my items ranked higher only to have it screwed up by this. It would be nice if search was reset to where things were when this all happened when this gets fixed. AND stupid me thought it would be a good idea to give away the farm to get my things ranked higher only to have them stop updating the ranking. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS IN ADVANCE!!! http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Merchants/Marketplace-and-Direct-Delivery-Update/td-p/1462915 Broken!

CommerceTeam Linden wrote: We have posted an update to our earlier forum thread. Here is the updated text: While we work to address current Marketplace issues, we will not require any Merchants to migrate listings away from Magic Boxes to Direct Delivery before June 1, 2012. It is more fesible to say that you will not require the migration until x days after the SLM is working as expected and the database is clean and functional.

I have noticed that there is a pattern to the madness. There are numbers in the range of 14184XX that display incorrect associations. Let me do some further looking at others errors.
