Buying Linden

[Jenzels]

Hi,

 

I have a fair bit of US dollars in my account.  I've look all around the help sections which say I can use the US dollar account to exchange for Linden.

 

I type in the amount in the US dollar section, and let the web browser with it's connection to 2nd life exchange that to Lindens.  Everytime I do that I get this message

Due to market fluctuations, your order of L$ xxxxx now costs more than you have paid. The full amount of your payment has been returned to your account balance, which you can use to make future purchases or try your LindeX™ purchase again.

I was hoping the number entered automatically was the current exchange rate, but it appears not.  I tried typing much lower linden amounts and get the same message, it seems to be fixed at 1US/250L. 

 

Do I need to find a 3rd party to exchange, or do I need to play games like I'll offer X amount of US for Y amount of L....24hrs later, offer refused.  I'll pay x for y...24hrs, offer refused!  Where's the help for this!

 

Many thanks

You try again. :smileyhappy:

You can Buy L$ Inworld or at your Dashboard for immediate delivery.

I think you are placing an order to buy using the LindeX. I believe Residents can set a Buy price and if the Current Exchange Rate (offer) matches your (ask) the transaction will process.

When purchasing a large volume of L$ a Resident may desire to get the best rate. Or, play the exchange like a market. Place an ask at a little lower than the current if it drops you buy, then hold, then IF it rises, sell.

I'm not a LindeX expert, maybe one will answer.

LOL...was chatting to Peewee last night and I mentioned this quotation I came across from the old Kung Fu series. Seems very apt given some of the questions we get so she said, use it as your Signature!

If I understand correctly what you are saying, is it possible that you are not taking the fees into account.

In the buy box on https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php? adjust the number of Lindens so that the "Approximate total cost" amount is less than the credit on your account. As that is an approximate figure, allow for a slight difference one way or the other.

Hello Jenzels. I didn't know if you fixed your problem or if you tried to call them. If the problem remains and you need urgently to buy Lindens you can use one of the other acceptable exchanges using the following link:

In addition you can send a mail to : support@payments.secondlife.com

Good luck.
