Newbie seller and my notecard can't be read by the buyer

I'm trying to sell a personalized item and, yes, I'm new at this. I want the buyer to receive a notecard that will be completed and returned to me so I can then personalize and deliver the item.

I created a prim to sell the contents. In its General Tab, I selected For Sale, included a price, and selected Contents. The notecard is in the prim's contents and its permissions are mod/transfer.

When someone pays, the customer receives a folder with the notecard inside. But when he attempts to open the notecard, he gets the message, "you are not allowed to view this note." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

I believe you also need to have the copy permissions on to actually read it.

To make changes and such I am pretty sure it has to be on. I'm sure someone will come along and correct me if I'm wrong =)

Thanks!

Sometimes, even when you created a notecard, you can't read it due to insufficient permissions. You may need to just re-rez a new copy.

You should make notecards no-mod or no-transfer. With mod/transfer, somebody can change the notecard and pass it along and you'll still show up as the creator. Some creators have been griefed this way..

Do you have any advice on how to handle orders for personalized items? I've purchased two personalized items in the past, and both times I received a notecard in which I typed the necessary information and returned to the creator. To do this, the buyer obviously needs to modify the notecard and transfer it back to the creator. Any suggestions on a workaround?

That's not exactly the case I was talking about - I meant more like a general instuctions notecard that gets distributed with every sale..

For the case you mention in the quote above, I think the griefing potential is probably less since it's an exchange between two specific people instead of the seller and 'everybody'. If the seller was really worried about this, a scripted object that asks buyer questions and IMs the seller could probably be done. Or maybe a scripted object that sends the info to a web server, if the seller has one. Or even a scripted object that just asks the questions and remembers the answers - the buyer could just pass the object back to the seller once they had told it all the info...

Thanks, Sindy.
