Where my items going to be listed for sale?

Your items will be listed in:

  • metaHUD - Social networking for Second Life. Any resident will be able to find your items wearing a metaHUD.

metaLIFE commission system

1. No commission when selling your own items via your own metaVENDOR.

This means when you (as items creator) sell your own items via your own metaVENDORs, no commission will be taken for these sales. You get 100 % of item price after sale.**

2. 20% commission when your items are sold anywhere else on the Grid ( about to change soon - for more details check here)

In that case, item creator gets 80 % of items price, 10 % goes to referring partners and 10% goes to metaLIFE.

 

** - This rule doesn't apply if you set your items as private or if you are selling via branded VENDOR's

Commission examples:

1. Person X rezzed a metaVENDOR and sold his own item. Person X will get 100 % of item price.

2. Person X rezzed a metaVENDOR. Person Y bought Person Z's item for 1000 L$ via Person X metaVENDOR.

  • Person Z as item creator will receive 800 L$.
  • Person X will receive up to 100 L$ commission for selling item. In case Person Y has a referring parent, 50 L$ goes to referring parent, 50 L$ goes to person X
  • metaLIFE will receive 100 L$.
