[1642] duplicated listing create messy UX
tracked

the same avatar using a simple texture swap have different avatar listings. these should be either included with the avatar as texture swaps OR under the same listing as selectable styles

Thanks for the feedback. This is high on our hit list! There's a few different ways to solve it, but we're not sure which approach we'll take yet.

Merged in a post:
Bundles should have 1 result in the search and show all pictures in the bundle

Currently the way it is set up it causes every variant of an avatar that is from a bundle to be listed individually and each listing will only show the pictures attached to that specific variant of the avatar.
This causes mass bloat of the same avatar throughout the store, and would mean we would need to have the same pictures on every avatar variant if any of them contain important information such as features etc.
It would be more organized to have avatar bundles be shown as one listing only, and those listings show all images from every avatar variant. It would reduce bloat of the same avatar being shown repeatedly and condense all the pictures down, so users do not need to click through every version of the avatar to view all the pictures.
It could optionally be opt in, as some bundles may have multiple different avatars vs different variants of the same avatar, this would atleast stop the bloat of multiple versions of the same avatar being shown on the store page.
Alternatively if its wanted to keep it so every variant shows up in search results, have it so when you select it it takes you to the bundle view immediately and show all pictures like stated above.

As others said, there should be one listing per base, to eliminate the noise.
Take an instant to look at a practical solution that already exists in VRchat:
(pic 1) Drop-down menu of "AvatarNow" from avatar museum
Showing the base (and base's author name) as the main listing,
then either a drop-down of variations (dedicated collumn on the right?)
or a dedicted page showing listings of duplicates,
would not only reduce the noise on main listings but potentially allow separate creators to work on a same base.
As for concerns over "others working on a same base" let take another example: (pic 2) Holoearth's player economy
When people make clothing based on liscenced characters, they purchase one as part of the process to make the listing.
Here, to post a variation on an existing base you could have something similar so the original author gets a little something off people using their base in the marketplace.
The idea of adding one layer of depth to the menu may seems annoying at first, but when someone click on the base they want they are already focused on browsing for this product in particular.
I don't think they would be too annoyed with the menu transitioning to a form similar to the screenshots full of duplicates others sent
IF it is within the context of browsing variations after selecting a base.
The current problem mostly is in the context of too much noise being created around main listings, which is a different scenario.

Multiple variations of the same avatar should all be under one listing. Moreover, if it's just simple color changes, the avatar creator should be encouraged to integrate that into a single version utilizing the avatar's expressions menu.

unsure who this image is from, but it is a prime example of this issue. the same avatar with minor texture changes being listed seperately leads to significantly reduced ux

This is the biggest feedback for me as well as it's leading my product to be misrepresented in Vrchat's Marketplace.
I have set up my Avatar as a Bundle of 3 variations but they are all listed as individuals that costs 2400 V-credits with no indication (that I can tell) that it's a bundle.
I want it to make it clear for the buyer that it's part of a package and that they will get multiple variations. The Deal they are shown is 1/3rd of what I am selling.
