Buying Items: Objects or Folders?

When I buy things in SL the items somtimes show up in the "objects" category in my inventory and sometimes in a new folder which inerts itself alphabetically in my inventory. How does the seller control this? How can I place objects for sale, which when purchased by others, appear in a folder in their inventory rather than in the "objects" file in their inventory?

Thanks!

The simplest way is to put your item(s) in a box and set the box For Sale and select the Sell Contents radio button. Once paid for, the tiems will be in a folder in the buyer's inventory.

Another way is to use a scripted vendor that utilizes llGiveInventoryList. Place the items in the vendor as with the first example. A good simple script will give everything in the box but itself. It will end up in a folder. The buyer has to accept the item after paying for it.

Singular objects are put into the Objects folder. These are things like boxes, which may contain more objects. (MystiTool comes as a package which you have to open, for example).

Some scripted givers use llGiveInventory which puts them into a folder of the name of the original object.
