Thank you! I thought about it too after I had already written the post. It should not be all too difficult to add a "variations" tab to the original listing.... But then again... 2015 has not reached the Marketplace yet.

Okay so I could rent a monthly server and hire someone to do something for me since I cant do it myself, or it could be implemented as a feature for actually paid accounts. The benefits of paid accounts is another rant story, I am not going to get into now.

There are probably threads about this already, hidden somewhere in the depths of these forums, which I am not going to dive into. I have been in this game for 8 years and run my stores for about 6 years now. I started with SLX like most and then was brought to the marketplace, which at first seemed like a great idea, and it still is... but there is so much wrong with this entire system, that today, I just lost it. I am just going through my personal list of the things that annoy the living hell out of me. The search engine - In the year 2015, where many MANY stores already adapted smart search, the marketplace still fails to deliver any sort of comfortable searching. I enter my desired search and then I click into the main category and maybe the subcategory I want to get into. But then I decide I want to search something else, or define my search for the particular item. But.. there is just no way. You want to search that sub-category? Well... How about no? How about you go back to the main category and search again, and then click your way all the way through until you reach the sub category again. This is so uncomfortable and so out of date, it just drives me nuts.The favorite list - The favorite list is a good idea. I love the idea. Wishlists are useful and I personally often use it... if it is actually useful. The Marketplace Favorite Folder is a gigantic mass off items I added. There is absolutely no way to categorize it in any kind of way, and I am also still unable to add entire merchants and/or stores to that list. Instead I have about 68 pages of favorites which I click through every now and then for hours just to find that one item I once wanted to buy and now want to buy it. WHY... just.. why is it so uncomfortableItems from decades ago - I understand that items can not just be randomly deleted from merchants, as they would go crazy, but PLEASE.. I don't want to buy scripts from 2008 which I don't even know still work, or if that person ist still around to support their item and since there is no way of telling when the item was actually submitted to the marketplace, It is hard to tell how old it is. Yes, I can do a search for most recent items, but that still tells me nothing about the "health" of the item or if store and owner are still around to give me support. I can't be that hard to add a little tiny date to the right column that tells people when the item was submitted and updated.Sold Out items - This is probably something that bugs me the most. No actually the second most.. I will come to the biggest annoyance in just a moment. But sold out items, or limited items are still really something that needs to be worked out. WHY.. can you please tell me WHY there are ACTIVE listings of sold out items? If there is the possiblity for item quantities already, why is that item not unlisted automatically when there are no quantities left? For what reason would I want to see an item that I can not buy? Why does it clutter the categories of building components? Demo Objects - THIS... THIS... is just something that makes me want to pull my hair out. The whooooole marketplace is clutterd with this junk. Yes, Demo objects are important and needed, but they are not needed to be a whole specific LISTING! You already added the option to link a Demo item to the actual item and yet the the Demo item is still an item because of the outdated way the marketplace works! I see all these fantastic updates on Aditi which are made to merchant outboxes and soon to come in-world listings, but you haven't figured out a single way of how to deal with annoying Demo items?! If the system requires the Demo item to be a physical item within the system, then PLEASE make an own Category for it!!!! So all the stuff can be sorted in there. Doing a hair or skin search? Excellent.... Here are five different styles and fifty demos for it on the same page... woopdiedoo... Yes, that is exaggerated, but it truly feels this wayDelete Items - As a merchant and store owner who actually cleans out their marketplace listings every once in a while, I understand why most people don't do it. You were clever enough to add the option to mark multiple listings and edit them, unlist them, list them.. etc... but you have NOT managed to add a freaking option for MASS DELETION? WHY?! Seriously WHY? Just to make sure that I am certain about each and every single item that I want to delete? It works for the favorite list but not for the listing management?SKU's and Quickfil - Oh.. my.. god. I can not even sum up how much is wrong with this system that is so important for merchants. I swear... I have listings in the quickfil box, which are 4 years and older. Items that don't exist anymore, they don't exist anymore in the store, nor even inworld and yet I find these ancient, dusted fragments still in that list. How is that even possible. Why are there items listed that I have deleted decades ago and why is there no way for me to delete these? This bugs me so much that everytime I make a new listing I already dread clicking on that darn button and scroll my way through. Related Items - This is just the exact same BS as it is with the Quickfil. It shows items which are rotting away somewhere in the digital nether and yet are still shown as an item i can list as related, but when I actually click one of these dead items, the system is clever enough to detect that item does not exist! Now, this is actually an improvement, because it wasn't always that way, but why show the listing in the box in the first place?! Does this very system not do any requests to the actual item database and when it gets no recall, it delets it? why not.. just.. why?ANS - Please see the knowledgebase for more information? You haven't had the time to put in a little effort to explain to new merchants in about 5 sentences in that large box, what ANS is? Instead you tell them to look at the knowledgebase which you are not even linking to? That is outright lazy.. I'm sorry.. .but that is just.. yeah.. I have no other words for itNo inworld information - So when I sell something in world, wether it is via prim that is set to sale or via vendor system, I get this neat little information that I sold something. Why is it not possible for the marketplace to deliver me the very same message in the nearby chat but instead only sends me the emails (if it actually works at that moment). I would rather have the option to choose between the two of them and instead of being flooded with emails, get those reports in a seperate chat window which also allows offline messages. IF.. and I say.. IF there is EVER going to be a SL2, I TRULY hope you step up that game with the marketplace as it has become the most important tool for merchants now. The in world sales are not even remotely close to what I make here on the marketplace and for this tool being so full of flaws and uncomfortable options, in the year 2015 makes me question where this is going to end up.
