Are you talking about the stipend payments?  You should have got 300L$  every week on a Tuesday following first going premium. Then 1000L$  after 45 CONSECUTIVE days of premium membership.  Check your transaction history and see if you have had any payments from LL  secondlife.com - Account -  L$ Transaction History.   There should be weekly payments of 300L$.  Then work out the date that is 45 days from when you signed up for premium.  This is when you should expect your 1000 L$ bonus

Was the money taken from your account?  That sounds to me for some reason the payment has failed.  Try setting up your payment method again.  If that doesn't work you will have to call one of the billing phone numbers  (my second link below)

If the money was taken  you should have all your information to hand  including dates and amounts and call one of the billing support numbers I linked above.

Did you have money in your paypal balance?  You have to credit your paypal account with funds first in most cases before trying to pay LL and tell paypal that you approve payments to Linden Lab

It sounds like things maybe getting a little confusing here.  I suspect the problem is with your payment method, whatever it is.   In order to use a credit card or PayPal account to pay for things in SL , it must be registered with Linden Lab.  Debit cards are not acceptable.  If you try to pay with a non-registered method, the system should simply reject the payment.  Before you try to pay for a Premium upgrade, then, be sure to follow all instructions at 

If you think that you have done that, then it's time to call the Linden Lab billing office at the phone number that Cindy provided above.  They will be open on Monday morning (it's Saturday now).

Well, I paid with paypal with debit card inside PayPal, the payment of all 7 attempts went fine and they picked my money from my debit through PayPal, I'll leave you an email got from PayPal while paying.

It says "Dear Boh Che so, you sent a payment of 22,50$ to Linden Research, Inc."Screenshot_20181027-163848_Gmail.thumb.jpg.681ee21b6f6c61bfd5f7b2a26fe326e7.jpg

Ok so that looks like you have paid for 3 months premium.  So now the problem is when you try to get a linden home it says you aren't premium?

Here it is a screen, nope, it doesn't says it

Ok if you can't get through on the phone numbers, I suggest you open your support ticket again, include that picture you shared from paypal with the receipt of purchase and ask them what is going on.  As it is the weekend, you might not hear a reply until Monday.  Give them as much clear information as possible.

OK, you're going to have to deal with both LL Billing and with PayPal to get this straightened out.  Linden Lab's records say you haven't paid.  PayPal says you did.

Here is what I would do.

  1. Contact PayPal and confirm the transaction completed and the money was paid.  If it was, open a dispute about the payment.
  2. This should all be resolved (eventually) by the transaction being canceled and the money restored to your PayPal account.
  3. Now, you will STILL not be Premium at this point, but you will have all your money.  So, next...
  4. TRANSFER some money from your debit card to your PayPal balance.  The original problem occurred because LL went to PayPal for money, PayPal went to your bank account or debit card to get some, and LL's system, which requires instant payment, got tired of waiting and decided the transaction had failed.  If you keep money actually in your PayPal account, you will not have this problem.
  5. Once you have money in your PayPal account, sign up for Premium again.

Next time, when something does not work as expected, don't try the same thing another six times!

When you submit that support case, tell them that you have Payment Information On File and the it has been used, so that is not the problem.  I just checked, and both of those statements is true.  The problem is with registering you as a Premium member.  The only explanation I can imagine now is that the system may believe that you are under the age of 18.  If that's true, then I believe it will not let you register as Premium because that will give you Moderate and Adult access.

I did not know this -- adding it to my "SL Support Notes"

I do not know it either, but it's the only explanation I can come up with -- other than the system screwed up.  That why I hedged by saying "I believe it will not let you register... ".  ?

Okay - I'll add it to my notes with a 'possibility, but not fully know' caveat.

I charged my PayPal with some money for paying the premium, after I'm going to upgrade my account, paypal says that I need to add a card to doing the operation, thing is that i have money in the count of PayPal, what can I do? Also yes I'm 18 years old so it's not a trouble with it.
