If i choose PayPal as payment method, why do i have to add a credit card? Cuz i don't have credtcard

[Tsubasa Himmel]

I want to purchase Linden Dollars to buy stuff in the marketplace.
As Payment Method i chose "PayPal". After logging into my PayPal Account i am required to add a credtit card.

Why? I chose PayPal BECAUSE i don't have a credit card. This is so contradictive..
Please help.

PayPal

Often the initial agreement can't be set up due to an unverified PayPal account. To use your PayPal account with Linden Lab, it must be verified and be capable of making instant transfers.

Linden Lab does not accept e-check (bank account) payments through PayPal because they cannot be processed quickly enough to match the instant delivery of virtual goods and services.  Therefore, LL require that you have a credit card on file with PayPal as a backup payment source, OR that you pay with your PayPal balance in USD. Without a sufficient USD balance in your PayPal account, you will not be able to use it with only a bank account.

You can use a bank account to verify your PayPal account.  Just be sure you keep enough money in the PP account to pay your LL bills.

The first rule of business is 'make it easy for people to pay you'.  LL don't, especially those that don't live in the USA.  That's all there is to it, get used to the way LL does 'customer service'.

Also note that this is not a forum for contacting LL and that none of us can help with issues like this - we are just residents like you.

I have the same problem. I've put money in my paypal account and set it to USD, but still keeps asking me for my credit card data.... Very contradictive indeed!
