Web/Marketplace Features

The marketplace has a growing, serious problem with this deceptive listing practice, with stores adding ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to their store name to imply that an item being shown in a search result is actually rated 5-stars, even when it is not. The number of stores engaging in this practice is shockingly large, with 'brands I've heard of' already doing it. The practice seems to only be growing. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/en-US/stores/store_name_search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search%5Bsort%5D=&search%5Bkeywords%5D=%E2%AD%90 Other unicode symbols that should probably be disallowed: ⭐ 🌟 ✨ ★ ☆ ✪ ✯ ✭ ✰ ⚝ ✫ ☀ 🌞 �

This has been one of the most frustrating things to find when I do randomly need to update a listing and redeliver to residents. I RARELY go to a product page for my actual item?? Why would I go there to edit or do anything to deliver. Can we integrate at the very least: Option A: Redeliver button on the actual order category- next to bulk redeliver history. Just let us redeliver in bulk and click an item. Option B: Add it in "manage listings", put "redeliver" as a button. Option C: Add it in BOTH. I honestly think needs this option. Following this: Option A: Caspervend integration with redelivery's history and allow it to sync message history and allow us to chose if want to redeliver MP listings or inworld listings as a drop down. Option B: Add a message box to send out as the seller when we redeliver a listing. Allows us to explain why its redelivered. New body supp, updates, PBR updates, new branding, etc etc.

Please add a required bool while creating a Marketplace listing that asks the creator to disclose if AI generative tools were used in part/all of the products creation. Add this bool to the 'Do Not Show' section of the Marketplace search filter. Allow listings to be reported if they do not honestly disclose this. ---- For the health of the market we need the use of AI tools to be disclosed by creators. I would prefer personally that no AI generation be supported. I understand that tolorance of it is an effort to avoid censorships slippery slope, and is complicated by the sheer variation of AI tools that currently exist. But regardless of opinions or complications, it's existance cannot be ignored. So lets focus on what can be done, by giving some power of choice to the consumer instead. Users should be provided a way to choose products with or without AI generation while shopping, and naturally creators who choose not to disclose or to lie should face the same reportability and moderation as any other creator that would choose to lie while listing. The moderation half of this should not necessarily focus on trying to prove the use of AI gen tools, it doesn't actually need to. Creators who have done the work to provide support and actually prepare the AI generated content for its use in SL are unlikely to warrent being reported, and should not need to lie about the useage anyway. It is products that blatantly lack support, have egregious LOD & LI values that would be inclined to lie, and would want to be reported by users, this is the same for ANY product currently listed. If you buy it, and you don't get what was described, it should be reportable, the same goes for AI generated products, AI generated should not get a pass because you have to 'prove' something first, when the fact remains that you didn't get what thought you bought. So do not focus on "did you use a tool?" focus on "can you fix & support the product?" If it can't be supported, then disclose it was made via AI generation and move on. This is a similar complication to full perm and gacha resales, but also ripped models, copybot etc, in they will all lack support due to not being made directly by the creator of the listing. There is a big difference between fullperm & gacha resale vs ripping & botting, and that difference is honest disclosure.

Please consider allowing Premium Plus subscribers to claim their free commercial space directly from the Second Life website, similar to how Linden Homes are managed. Many of us manage real-life business schedules and can’t spend hours in-world 'sim-hopping' to find availability. A centralized web-based claim system would be much more efficient than flying through regions waiting for signs to rez.

As the title suggests I'd love an ability to hide/block certain creators and their items from showing in my search/feed. I don't wanna see poopy butts, diapers, pissplay or whatever its called, animal genitalia. Don't wanna see children oriented items and their stores. Sometimes i wish i can filter out a creator that spammed 4-5 pages of the same item just different colors when looking for something new. I wish when searching for "Butt tattoo" i could block an item/store that showed me the entire lowerbody of a human being covered in excrement. Please for the love of God consider that quality of life change.

When mesh came out, marketplace added the ability to state whether a item was "No Mesh", "Partial Mesh", or "100% mesh", as well if it is fitted mesh. I propose that with the addition of PBR, it is made so we can see if something is using PBR with "No PBR", "Partial PBR", "100% PBR", as well as a flag called "Blinn-phong Fallbacks" (MAYBE? Since some people will be using non-PBR viewers apparently). This will benefit creators and buyers in the following ways: Buyers will know if content is using PBR or blinn-phong. Creators will be able to clearly disclaim in a visible, uniform way that something has PBR without fallbacks. Buyers who use old viewers will know if content will be compatible with their viewer. It would be useful if this is a searchable filter too!

It would be so incredibly useful, especially for clothing creators, if there was a column on the marketplace "manage listings" page that showed the item selected as the demo for that item. We currently have no way of double-checking that the correct item was selected without editing every item and looking at them individually. (When doing tons of listings, it is easy to accidentally select an incorrect item as the demo.) It would also be great if we could assign a demo to all selected items during the bulk edit process. Usually all color variations of a clothing item use the same demo.

Currently, listing enhancements on the Second Life Marketplace provide data on clickthroughs, but there is no visibility into whether those clicks result in actual sales. This makes it difficult for creators to evaluate the true return on investment of paid enhancements. It would be extremely valuable to include conversion tracking alongside click metrics—specifically, showing how many purchases were generated directly from enhanced listings. Even a simple “sales from enhancement” metric or conversion rate would allow creators to make more informed decisions about where to allocate their marketing spend. Adding this feature would improve transparency, help creators optimise their listings, and encourage more consistent use of paid enhancements by clearly demonstrating their impact on sales.

Let's invent a label - something simple, like "GenAI was used in whole or part in this object's manufacture" and then /require/ creators/vendors to label all of their relevant sales items with it. Let this label also be a tag or flag as part of an object's or sales vendor's properties, so that Residents don't have to struggle to know if an object is GenAI-"containing." Let this also be a tag or flag on the MP and in any other searchable interface where it makes sense to exist, so that Residents may include or exclude GenAI items in their search results. GenAI is not going anywhere. The ethics of its use are a separate matter. But Residents have a right to be informed of the tool's use in the creation of their purchased items, just as we have a right to know whether a food IRL has been genetically modified. Let Residents be advised of the use of GenAI to create purchasable goods, and thereby purchase according to their own preference. Please disregard, and accept my apology, if this issue has already been discussed/addressed. Thank you.

See pictures example. I propose: 1: Have links when press enter work, OR use markdown like SL profiles use for links. I think the first would be smarter and then people know what they are clicking. 2: Have listings + bio sections for merchants to add links in those sections using the above options. Following this added suggestion- With the wanting to be more modern, I remark on how we only have "blog + inworld" as clickable links. This day and age there should at least be something like "website" or other forms of media to supply support and resources to merchants. Most of our inworld messages get capped and so we require customers to use either nc's (not super reliable an easy to keep track of) and social media forms like brand discords, X/twitter pages, bluesky, tiktok, fur affinity, toyhouse, deviant art etc and other popular platforms. Instead of trying to add a box for all specific places- maybe allowing a box for us to fill out and name what the link is would be smarter. But I think having "blog" feels very odd and outdated. While yes some creators do have personal blogs or blogs they post on, I think would at very least be better to have website or something more generic. Plus, people already use that space to put their site, socials, or discord and leads consumers to be confused when they do click and less likely to click it when they see the word "blog." Additional ideas/feedback on the panel on left side when visiting a store- Allowing a button to say "redelivery" and then takes to redelivery page. Allowing a button to say "contact/support" and then stores can put ANY way to be contacted for supp there. Allowing a button to say "Blogger Applications" and allowing bloggers a way to apply for blogging to a store very easily! As you can see from the above there is a lot of possible routes for people to add different links as buttons- so again, it's why I like the idea of merchants being able to add their own buttons- which could be in a form of a drop down of pre-set list and then button below having a link they can provide if you want to maintain more control over what people can add. But to start with allowing hyperlinks in listings + store policies and profile would be good first step to accessibility.
