Universities not safe to buy at Second Life Marketplace

While preparing for an internal training, I purchased a golf cart rezzer for a team building activity.  The golf car would not work, no matter what was tried.  I contacted the seller who told me he did not care.  To my surprise, Second Life, told me the same thing.

This seems unusual for Linden not to follow eBay and Amazon in buyer protection policies, especially for universities that purchase land.  My short and surprising conversation with Linden may be seen below:



We did, by the way, have a very successful team building activity with jeeps made by a seller called Lusch Motors.  Excellent product, not something easy to get right when the product actually has to do something.
