Coffee Pancake Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I would strongly recommend you add your paypal account to your SL account and use that to buy L$ in advance. Read up on how to buy L$ on the Lindex directly, it's a lot simpler than it might seem and you will be getting the most L$ for your US$. It's a little wordy, but worth reading - https://beccapet.datahamster.com/2017/07/05/show-me-the-money/ If you get really stuck on this, be happy to walk you though it via IM in world I do not recommend you pull out the credit card for each and every individual market place purchase, that is probably the most expensive way to shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Solo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Personally, my best credit card gives me a better % kickback than paypal. Not sure what's so special about using paypal. Placing limit orders on Linden Exchange is the way to go, but paypal is an uncorrelated independent variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's so special about using paypal. Placing limit orders on Linden Exchange is the way to go, but paypal is an uncorrelated independent variable. Yeah, I've considered switching over to my credit card simply for the rewards that it gives me that PayPal (and associated checking account) doesn't. At the minimum, I should at least do that for the Premium fee for each of my accounts. Edited June 29, 2019 by LittleMe Jewell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Solo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 If you are in the US, your fraud prevention under a Credit Card is a matter of Federal Law. Other forms of transaction, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ananoelle Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hmm I mean I could be totally wrong but I dont think this has anything to do with how secure her method is. The question asked was, how it will show up on her CC statement that is sent in the mail... I'd say tell your better half you are in SL spending money and dont try to hide it. Lol.. I mean that's how I'm seeing the question. Anyone else? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy Linden Dollars for real life money and then spend it. It will show up as an transaction towards Linden Lab (the company operating/owning Second Life). Nobody will see what you did with that money within Second Life, so go and buy that naughty stuff But if you plan on hiding that you spend money on SL, thats going to be difficult 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) While the OP did say "im hesitant to buy stuff on here using my creditcard", the rest of the post ('how does sl show up on the transactions list that shows up on the back of the bill') indicates that the fear is not that the card might get compromised, but what exactly will show on the credit card statement -- which basically translates to "I don't want others in my house to know what I'm buying in SL". While the credit card statement will not show the specific purchases in SL, it will show that you paid Linden Lab some money.

TheDarkhand Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Their totally going to see a detailed list of what you bought and your going to have to explain that digi dic to your wife. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (Ignore that post by TheDarkhand, he's just messin' with ya.) Your payment method (whether a credit card, or a PayPal or Skrill account) is used to buy Linden Dollars ($L), and to pay for certain services offered by Linden Lab (Premium membership dues, monthly land tier if you own more than 1024 sq. m. of Mainland, etc.) Charges to your payment method show up as being paid to "Linden Research Inc." You buy all that stuff you see on the Marketplace, or in the stores in world, with $L. That never shows up on any of your Real Life institutions' records. But you can see what you bought, and when, with your Transaction History and your Marketplace History reports, which are available to you here on this web site.

I think I knew somewhere that this was a thing, but I've always been too lazy and just tend to buy my L$ through the viewer. I should go check that out.
