Creator survey for upcoming Avatar Marketplace
MіloFox
A lot of avatar base creators like myself work full time making content for VRChat. Gumroad, as well as other marketplace platforms, have become wildly unstable for creators as of recent, giving VRChat a massive opportunity to step in, I know this is something that has been teased but i would like to suggest that the VRChat team do a survey of creators like myself to find out what we would value in a market platform including fee structures, features, potential vcc integrations and stuff like that.
I would love to see vrchat work with the community to create a marketplace platform for avatars that would benefit both the platform and those selling on it over the currently disjointed system where platforms take advantage of creators with little market pressure.

This functionality should be priority 1 for CE and if it turns out it's being held up by trying to make it in-client instead of the already proven and accessible model of doing avatar package sales on a website that can be accessed on literally any device, there is a serious issue going on with putting premature optimization ahead of achieving base functionality.
The fact this has only 3 voters (currently) is not an indication of it being unimportant. Posts about the tip jars probably have tons and tons of votes, but just 1 popular avatar base put up for sale on this platform alone would probably dwarf all of the fee revenue from tip jars. Please think about it.
