Store Listing Guidelines
To help promote an enjoyable experience, you must adhere to the following guidelines when listing items on the Sansar Store (the “Store” for short). These guidelines aim to help you list items effectively so that buyers can quickly and easily find what they're looking for.
For more information on how to list and edit an item on the store, please see Selling items in the store. See Store Banner Guidelines for information on branding banners.
- Items must not contain any references to Sansar, Sansar inc. or Sansar-related terminology that may imply a false relationship with or sponsorship, endorsement, or employment by Sansar.
The following requirements apply to all text associated with item listings:
- Only alphanumeric and basic punctuation characters, such as commas, periods, slashes, colons, dashes, underscores, and quotation marks are allowed. Sansar does not support international characters at this time.
- Senseless or excessively repetitive use of characters, in Sansar’s sole discretion, is prohibited.
- Avoid replacing letters with special characters or numbers (e.g., replacing “A” with “@” or “I” with “1”). You will want to make it easy for your item to appear in search results.
- There should be no leading, trailing, or creeping white spaces.
- Control characters and line feeds are not allowed.
The Item Name is the name that appears on the buyer’s inventory list. This name is designated upon file upload to Sansar and cannot be replaced.
The Item Name:
- Must adhere to a character limit of 100 characters maximum (including spaces).
- Must contain a clear and accurate name in order to make it easy for people to find your item in their inventories.
- Must contain alphanumeric characters and cannot consist solely of special characters.
- Should avoid long strings of text in the Item Name. Long Item Names truncate after two rows of text in the inventory.
The Listing Title is the name that appears in the Store, on your listings page, and on a buyer’s purchase list.

Accessories
Audio
- We strongly recommend that you include a detailed description of your audio listings and include information such as track length and mono/stereo/ambisonic type.
Avatars
Objects
- Set your 3D suite’s units to meters or feet, and model your assets to a real life scale. This is important because Sansar only allows limited scaling for scenes at this time.
- We strongly encourage you to add a collision mesh to your objects. This will enable buyers to make your objects dynamic in their scenes.
- If you are uploading architecture-type items, it is best to add an avatar in one of the additional images to provide size reference.
Script
- Scripts should not use any Restricted APIs. For more information on Sansar’s APIs and restrictions, see our documentation on Sansar Script APIs and Restricted APIs .
Exhibiting any of the following prohibited behavior could result in the removal of your item in the store and/or account access restrictions, up to and including account termination.
- Listing items in the Store:
- Listed items that contain harmful content or code will not be tolerated.
- Disabled items:
- If your item has been blocked or disabled on the Store, please reach out to the Sansar Support team for assistance.
- Do not re-list items that have been blocked or disabled on the Store by the Sansar team until the reported issue has been resolved.
- Re-listing items in the Store:
- Do not re-list items as a new listing to circumvent user complaints, feedback, or ratings.
- Reviewing items:
- Be honest in reviewing items and do not include false information.
- Do not use alternate accounts to rate your own items.
- Buying positive user reviews for your items is strictly prohibited.
