VRChat credits buy avatars made by a new group of creators skilled in the art of virtual reality fashion. The new system allows users to try on sellers' avatars in a private space before buying. "The Marketplace is an in-client store that allows users to buy and sell avatars," a VRChat representative explained over email. "Not only does this give creators another platform to monetize on VRChat, but it also makes finding an avatar far, far easier than before."

With this feature you're licensing the avatar only, as opposed to having all the source files when you buy a model off booth etc.

That's generally been the model on second life since they bought X Street SL back in the early 2010s. And for most people it's enough. I'm sure there will probably be a few selling links to the actual assets etc for people to modify and make their own just like there are on SL as well
