Second Life Marketplace Beta is Live!
Posted by Grant Linden on Jun 30, 2010 1:03:48 PM
Be one of the first to check out the new look and feel of our completely redesigned web-based shopping experience for Second Life, Second Life Marketplace Beta. To learn more about what has gone into this launch, read the Second Life Marketplace Beta announcement. While we are testing the new marketplace in these early days, Xstreet SL will remain up and running to ensure that shopping can continue if we run into any kinks.
No Commission Fees for Two Weeks
As a thank you to all of the merchants who provided feedback to help in the design of the new marketplace, as a show of appreciation for the work put into converting listings over to the new marketplace, and as an incentive for merchants to send some of their customer base over to try the new marketplace in these early days, we have decided to remove commission fees on sales for the first two weeks that the SL Marketplace Beta is live (June 30th through July 14th). After the two weeks are up, we will reintroduce the commission fee, so take advantage of it now and get your listings into shape if you haven't already. Visit the SL Marketplace Help Pages for more information.
How can Merchants Prepare for the Beta?
Learn about what promotional assets you need for your store, setting your migration preferences to manage your times while we maintain two online stores, and other information on getting started in the new Marketplace on the SL Marketplace Help Pages.
Thank you to our Residents
We could not have done it without our Residents. XstreetSL was originally created by a Second Life Resident for the community and we would like to thank all of the merchants who helped us in early merchant roundtables, by alpha-testing the first builds, and by providing feedback as users of the marketplace prior to the public beta.
Looking Forward
The new marketplace is a significant step forward, but it is only the beginning. The Commerce Team is excited to have this new ecommerce platform as a foundation for future improvements and features. We look forward to working together and creating the best experience we can for our Residents. As always, let us know your thoughts by "Joining the Discussion" and tweet your thoughts using the hashtag #slmarketplace.
Sincerely,
The Commerce Team
