Make sure you set up the permissions on the items you list. For instance, you can

• sell multiple identical copies of your item
• set up your item to be one-of-a-kind
• allow your customer to resell or give away the item (or disallow it)
• allow your customer to make further copies (or you can disallow it)

How do I add a new item to my Marketplace listings?

Important: If the following sounds more confusing than it needs to be, you're right. Due to various complications with using Magic Boxes, they'll will eventually be obsolete and replaced by the Marketplace directly reading your inventory for item listings. Stay tuned for details.

You use a special object called a "Magic Box" that connects to the Marketplace website. Basically, you drag objects into the box so the Marketplace recognizes them. Then, you can enable their listings and start selling. You can have multiple Magic Boxes, but for the sake of simplicity, start with one.

Here's how you add a new item:

Set up your Magic Box

1. Login to the Marketplace website and get a Magic Box.
2. In the Second Life Viewer, go to a land parcel you own or can reliably rez objects on. The Magic Box must stay inworld or your items can't be sold.
   • If you don't have a permanent place to rez your Magic Box, you can buy a piece of land to keep it on.
3. Open the sidebar, click the My Inventory button (the suitcase icon), and rez the Magic Box.
4. Right-click the Magic Box and choose Edit.
5. In the build tools, click the Contents tab.
6. Drag an object from your inventory into the Contents area. You should see it appear.
7. Wait for the Magic Box to finish uploading the new inventory.

Add the item on Marketplace

1. On the Marketplace, choose My Marketplace > Merchant home (upper-right).
2. Click Manage Inventory (left-hand side).
3. Click the Sync Marketplace with Magic Boxes button.
4. Click Create on the right of the listing and complete at least the required fields. What do all those fields mean?

How do I remove an item from my Marketplace listings?

First, the inworld part:

1. In the Second Life Viewer, right-click your Magic Box and choose Edit.
2. In the build tools window, click Content tab.
3. Click the item you want to remove, and press the Delete key. Alternatively, right-click the item and choose Delete.
4. Wait for the Magic Box to refresh.

Then, the web part:

1. Login to the Marketplace and choose My Marketplace > My Store (upper-right).
2. Click Manage inventory. The item should have a status of "Item unavailable", like this:

   

   • If the item's status isn't showing that, click the Sync Marketplace with Magic Boxes button.
3. Next to the item listing you want to remove, click Delete.

If you intend to update an item listing rather than delete it, see "How do I update the listing of an item I'm selling?".

How do I update the listing of an item I'm selling?

3. Here, you see all the items you're selling. Towards the right, click Edit next to the item you want to update.
