<div class='jive-rendered-content'>Be one of the first to check out the new look and feel of our completely  redesigned web-based shopping experience for Second Life, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/">Second Life Marketplace Beta</a>.  To learn more about what has gone into this launch, read the <a class="jive-link-blog-small" href="http://blogs.secondlife.com/community/commerce/blog/2010/05/03/announcing-the-second-life-marketplace-beta">Second Life Marketplace Beta announcement</a>.  While we are testing the new  marketplace in these early days, <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://www.xstreetsl.com/">Xstreet SL</a> will remain up and running  to ensure that shopping can continue if we run into any kinks.
<strong>
No  Commission Fees for Two Weeks</strong>
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 <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Marketplace">SL Marketplace Help Pages</a> for more information.

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.
   
<strong>Looking Forward</strong>
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 "<a class="jive-link-thread-small" href="http://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/27811">Joining the Discussion</a>" and <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://clicktotweet.com/73g0e">tweet</a> your thoughts using the hashtag <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://clicktotweet.com/73g0e">#slmarketplace</a>.
