[Feature Request] Update Marketplace Wishlist to Facilitate Crowdfunding.
closed
Lucia Nightfire
Over the years things have gotten more expensive in SL, so much so that big ticket items are unobtainable even with patreons.
We need the ability to set up crowdfunding with wishlist listings.
Owners of wishlist listings need a way to specify minimum payment amounts and increments.
Owners of wishlist listings also need the option to pay for the target listing with partial funding, where their own money is used to cover the balance. This is most important.
Refunds only occur if the wishlist listing owner removes the listing.
All funds are kept by an escrow account similar to land auctions.
Patreons can donate as often as they wish.
Only the total number of funds and total number of backers are shown to the public, but user names and amounts are shown to the wishlist listing owner.
Overall, this ensures donations go directly towards the wishlist item and nothing else, far better than just donating money in-world.
Thanks for any consideration.
