I'm joining many other SL merchants such as Ordinal Malaprop and Cheyenne Palisades in removing my products from XStreet because of their new listing fees, not to mention what many feel is the misguided philosophy behind them.
I haven't made enough sales on XStreet to justify a L$10/month "listing fee" for each item. My tails come in a selection of colors, each of which is a separate item, and each of which would cost me L$10 a month to display. And although I myself don't have any freebies listed, I am disgusted at the attempt to eliminate the "clutter" of freebies by charging a L$99 listing fee. There are many quality freebies out there that are definitely not "clutter".
Of course, everything is still available inworld at Mermaid's Dream.

Free Market
At the advice of a friend, I finally got around to doing something I should have done a long time ago: put my Mermaid's Dream products up for sale on Xstreet (formerly SlExchange). You can find my things by going to Marketplace in Xstreet and viewing Merchants, then digging down to Mare Novi.
I have the "Dream Mer" tails, the latest version of the Mermaid's Dream AO, and some of the gadgets from my vendors. I should make pages for the other things just laying around the store, like the "mernature" and the poseballs. Maybe they'll get more customers online then just waiting for people to wander into the store.
