How do I start shopping?

Here are the basic steps:

  1. Go to marketplace.secondlife.com.
  2. If you're not already logged in to secondlife.com, click Sign In in the upper-right and enter your Second Life name and password, then click the Login button.
  3. Find something you'd like to buy.
    • You can navigate the marketplace to look for something you want in different ways: search, Categories, and Featured Items. Start clicking around and exploring — you can always get back to the front page by clicking the Home button in the upper-left.
    • Learn more about searching and browsing the Marketplace.
  4. Click the item you'd like to buy to make the item's full page appear. Click Add to Cart or, if you are in a hurry, click Buy Now.
    • Add to Cart saves your purchase for later payment and delivery, so you can keep shopping for more items.
    • Buy Now will take you to the payout screen immediately
