LindenLab acquires XStreetSL and Onrez

By LD Magazine on 21 January 2009, 19:00

LindenLab has recently acquired Second Life selling platforms online XStreetSL and Onrez. XStreetSL would be apparently chosen at the expense of Onrez. (Don't forget to migrate your shops before the February 11, 2009).

Why to have chosen XStreetSL instead of Onrez ?

Onrez has a much clearer interface and an products administration, no fees on sales, the ability to offer products to another avatar, payment method allow you to split profits, inworld vendor, categorization of products by tag and short URL.

XStreetSL is faster for delivery in Second Life, but has fees on each sale. It also offers a system for lands sale, it is multilingual and the XStreetSL community being bigger, it seems logical that LindenLab chose it. Hoping, that they will keep the Onrez advantages and that they will integrate them in XStreetSL and that they will not apply the fees per sale.
