I paid US$ for something, but the system doesn't seem to know it yet.

Why doesn't the system know I paid?

There are a few things related to Second Life that you need to pay for using US$. These things include:

• A Premium account
• Land use tier

When you've bought these items, you should be able to use them more or less instantly.

When something like your land fees are due, the charge is applied  to your account. It may show as a negative balance until the next day,  because the system hasn't processed it yet. In most cases, the charge is  applied overnight in the form of payment on file.

If you're having problems that seem to indicate the system  doesn't realize that you've paid for something, you should file a  support ticket.
