Rental payment in usd instead of L$? Allowed?

[hotlips4you]

The tier boxes have an option to receive USD.

Is that legal?

Ive heard that lately the TOS change and we cant give away L$.

Is that true?

But then, why he tier box has this option?

And also why I see the big Estate Companies offering usd payment methods, while they arent authorized L$ Dealers?

Thanks in advance to whomever replies!

you can give away L$. the restriction is on converting it to cash, that has to be done through Lindex now.

if you buy or rent something directly using real world money, then there is no L$ conversion. that is still allowed.

It also enables companies to make more by skipping linden labs processing. No transaction fees and no worrying about the daily flux of how much the lindens you're being paid with are worth. Instead just set USD payments
