[Splatulated]

what about mastercard ?

[Amethyst Jetaime]

LL does not accept prepaid credit cards.

Some authorized third party resellers may take them, though you will pay more for your L's and you deal with them at your on risk.  LL  will not reimburse you if something goes wrong.

damn it ...

 

 

my paypal got hacked during sign up and even with help from paypal them selves i couldnt make a new account

 

sisters was recently hacked so she closed it because it charged her $100.00 3 times for something she didnt buy 

 

i dont have a regular credit card

 

 

why is there no other payment options D: ??

Because LL is giving you the L's immediately and want's immediate and guaranteed payment.  Only a credit card or verified paypal can do this. Prepaid cards don't guarantee payment like CC's do, they only pay if the funds are available and LL is not set up to deal with them.

Well that is that EARNING thing

 

I have been here close to seven years, have MANY "careers" and have never bought one linden or paid for premium account. You don't HAVE to spend RL money here *wink*. You could also get a real credit card. Oh the options!

Sorry, just see too much whining today

Unfortunately, those cards are hit or miss. Some have all the luck in the world with them, some have none. There is  no real rhyme or reason as to why, how, which cards, when....you get the point I'm sure.

To the OP...You can try your card, if it works, great, if it doesn't work, you'll be out nothing but the few seconds it took to try, so I suggest trying.

If it does not work, use one of the authorized third party exchanges. Yes, you're doing so at your own risk, but it's really your only option. I understand, to some extent, why LL does not accept prepaid cards, they come with all kinds of risks of their own. However, I also wish that they would accept at least some of them. Most places have stopped the whole "we don't take prepaid cards here" policy that they used to have, LL just hasn't joined those ranks yet.

As an aside, I don't blame you for not using paypal, you are not alone in that, many folks do not trust, or simply do not want to use paypal, there is nothign at all wrong with that.
