0 Rolig Loon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 No. All you have to do is go to your dashboard at secondlife.com >>> Acccount >>>. Billing Information . Then, be sure that your new verified PayPal account shows there, and click the CHANGE link next to it. (If your new PayPal account doesn't show there yet, register it the same way that you registered the credit card.) You will see a couple of buttons to use for indicating what you want to use this payment method for. Select one or both. The effect will be to make your PayPal the payment method fopr those selections instead of your credit card. You may remove the credit card info if you wish, or just leave it as a backup (unused unless you come back and change things again later). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
