Cradom Denimore Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I can buy things fine on the Marketplace on the web but whenever I try to buy in the viewer I get a message to the effect of " your account is not set up to buy, please use the Marketplace" or something like that.So, I cant find any information about setting things up. Or is SL moving totally to Marketplace?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am confused. What do you mean by 'buy in the viewer' ? If you mean buy using the built in web viewer, then just use the website. If you mean buy things in shops in world, I have no idea why you get that message and in fact have never heard of it in the eight years I've been here. As long as you have Lindens in your account you can buy things. So please provide more details of what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cradom Denimore Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well, was going to show a screenshot but I just bought a pair of boots from Vista. Odd. Usually it wont let me and tells me to go to Marketplace in my browser. If it happens again I'll take a screenshot and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be others experiencing what you are you, and need help, but they won't get it because even when asked you become increasingly vague about what is happening. When you ask people for help, at the very least you should read their answers and respond with the information they ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cradom Denimore Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ok, lets try this again. I can buy things on the web (in Firefox) fine when logged in (to SL in Firefox). When trying to buy in world (viewer) it would get so far but then pop up an error saying the viewer was not set up for buying things and to try the Marketplace in my browser. However, when trying to buy this time and get a screen shot, it worked (in the viewer) so I cant show the error here. So, maybe it was some random thing with the viewer (latest version, Mac, the SL version by the way). If it should happen again, I will try and get a screen shot and post back here. I just was trying to find out if there was something I needed to set in preferences to buy in world and couldn't find it. I guess not because last time I tried it, it worked. Hopefully this is a little clearer? Thanks for your time and help. (and no, I'm not being sarcastic, I understand about trying to understand things in a forum.)

Bobbie Faulds Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 A few questions, when you buy from Marketplace are you paying with currency or Lindens? BTW, if you're paying with paypal or a credit card instead of Lindens. buy the Lindens, it costs less. Now. Inworld, do you have Lindens? If you don't and on the dashboard, you don't have a method set up to purchase lindens inworld, you'll get that error. You have to pay with Lindens inworld. On your dashboard, you have to have chosen a payment method to purchase lindens inworld. Personally, I don't but I always buy my Lindens through my Dashboard so it doesn't matter.

Cradom Denimore Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 In world and in Firefox I'm paying with Lindens. I always use Lindens and buy when needed. I don't pay with currency in SL except to buy Lindens. It's possible I might have misread my Lindens and tried to buy something I didn't have enough for. I'm assuming that would bring up that error?

Amethyst Jetaime Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It brings up a screen offering more L's to you in the amount you are short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Faulds Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It does bring up that screen then, it you aren't set up with a source to buy from inworld, it says you can't and then offers to take you to your dashboard to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnelljohnson1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I know what your saying, it's not hard to figure out what your saying and I haven't been here 8 years. when you get that message, click on the link to go to website, then go to "your account" on the far left. then at the bottom of the list select "billing information". The screen it gives you shows your cc info, on the right side of the screen it says "Used for" and right below that hit the "change" link. this will give you check boxes to allow L purchaces in the viewer without going to the web page. I hope this helps. You are allowing viewer top ups of L$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
