on page 1 - 3 you'll find the results of the poll and on page 4 - 20 I'm answering the questions YOU had, I hope you enjoy reading <3

I read it, it is great, the vendor system question though, Caspervend is now LL owned, so if you ever did want to provide that option, because you cannot be on 24 hours a day etc, then that may be something to look into. I recently changed to it, and so far really like the options it has and ease of use.

Sasypants: thank you! oh yes Caspervend would definitely be a system I would trust enough to use, since LL bought it (i think I also mentioned that at the end). i'm a bit hesitant yet cause my store is so huge and maybe I should wait until i found a new mainstore building and then do all at once. good to know you like it!

I will toss my vote in the ring for MD Labs. Caspervend seems to have pretty regular issues and I have heard customer support is really difficult/hard to come by. MD Labs responds almost immediately to any issue or question you might have, and the entire time I've been using it, there has never once been an outage/server issue.

During that same time, Caspervend has gone down multiple times

omgwtfbarb: thank you! i also heard about issues and downtimes, which is another reason why i'm hesitant. I want something reliable and trustworthy. i just feel now is not the right time yet to decide. i tend more towards Casper, but i'm curious to learn about other systems as well <3 I would for sure only want the best for me and my customers

omgwtfbarb: I have been using MD for years, and it is wonderful, but for new users it is charging a fee and also it is 3rd party which Izzie does not want to do in case they go down one day by leaving SL etc

i love to hear what you all think and what kind of experiences you made. makes it easier for me also to give myself a push haha

MD goes down when others go down, as its usually an issue with SL but not in terms of often etc. I think the last time Casper went down something was not right on LL's side also, as in they didn't update something, mistakes happen either way

and helps making a decision too

I think your training of keeping everything as back up is a good back up to have either way, because you will be able to import a lot of what you have into either system, which is great

ohh i didn't know that! that's great!

I like MD a lot, so it definitely gets my vote, but the day LL bought Casper I bought Casper just to have it, i have only recently set it up because i dont have an inworld store atm and i was doing shop and hop. being able to do it all on the website etc they all have pros and cons for sure

ah, my fee for MD has generally been super low because I have never sold very much so I can't comment much on that lol
