Q. After I purchased an item all I see is a box. How do I do next?
Most likely you have to extract the item(s) from the box (container).
To do so, go to somewhere where you can build, drag the box from your Inventory to the ground, right click the box, choose edit, click on the More >> button (unless it already says << Less), click on the Content tab, and then drag each item in the list from the item's contents to any of your preferred Inventory's folder.
Caution: Be careful about buying things from people who are not the creator of the object. Some people like to collect objects which are supposed to be free to the public and resell them to unspecting new residents.
