Oh yes, all those things are so much fun! You would think by now they could just fix it, it's been going on forever. Companies are supposed to want to make money, to make it easy, fast and enjoyable for people to shop and spend their money. Making it difficult for consumers is only lowering how much LL could make and the merchants. Doesn't make sense it has gone on for this long. Boggles my mind really.

I rarely if ever post here, but seriously Linden Labs...can you not just please fix marketplace? I am so tired of the months and months of "___ cannot be added to your cart" Sometimes it gets added anyway, sometimes it doesn't. But either way, one thing you can count on is...marketplace is going to be painfully slow. After all this time, why can't they just get it working right. Thank you for allowing me this rant.

I do not want to get into this disagreement , I only want to state what i do know. Each day faithfully at about 3am SLT I do a search to check which pages my items are on. Generally I see the same type of results each day. When I woke up Friday morning i was shocked to see myself, as well as my other fellow merchants, pushed off the front pages, pages that were suddenly filled with 0-10L items. I have been doing this search faithfully each morning for a very very long time. It is easy for me to see when something has changed and this was a drastic and very easy to see change. Also, along with the search result change my sales plumeted. Addition to this post: Also, in addition to my own products, I am also a consumer and shop and buy often on marketplace. I am used to the results I get for things such as women's clothing, jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, shoes, boots, the list goes on. After seeing the change in the search results for my product categories i searched all the other areas i usually search for and again...they were flooded with 1-10L items where normally I would see the top designers that I love to buy from so much.

I think search results should be... Relevance sorted in order of best selling, discluding freebies and dollarbies which should have their own category

I personally think this is a wonderful idea !!!

I'm sorry I have to disagree with this statement, and correct me if I've read or taken it wrong. I have a few inexpensive items myself, lost leaders, to encourage people to take a look at my store. This is common business practice and happens in RL all the time. That's busines. But even my inexpensive lost leader items, i do not expect, nor do I want preferential treatment for. I had always thought LL filtered those cheaper items and they were not placed as important, which is exactly how I would want it to remain. I don't think good merchants who sell very quality items should be made to feel bad because they have a few cheap lost leader items to bring people into their stores. This is LL's responsibility to make this right. When you walk into a store in RL you are not faced with rows and rows and rows and.. (you get the idea) of cheap and free items before you reach the higher ticket items at the back of the store. That would be rediculous. I feel very fortunate to have a business in SL, I have enjoyed many aspects of it, what I don't enjoy is this constant change which almost always affects the money going into my pocket. Having a business in RL you have to deal also with economy, world disasters, holidays etc that affect sales, but having a business in SL... add to those things the constant change in how people find your store that can plumet your sales on any given day/week/month. We are at their mercy and it is a very helpless feeling to sit and watch the sales flop and know there isn't really anything you can do about it. Even if they change it this time, we just wait for next time...

Couldn't have worded it better myself. So true!

VonGklugelstein wrote: "I believe that ALL items below their commission treshold (9L and less) should be in a master category called Bargain basement and have no sub categories" Totally agree with the above statement. And I hope they adjust this situation sooner than later because the sales drop is so exactly timed to this new influx of 10L or below items

thanks for your reply
