I apologize for the ignorant question, but I have cash in my Tilia account. How do I cash out/use it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can also leave it there and use it for your next L$ buy.  Or to pay Premium fees or Tier fees, if applicable.

That's why I gave you that lovely article to read.    I figured to save myself the trouble of typing it all out again myself.

When I buy lindens it is instant, it isn't the same for selling?

If you do another L$ buy for anything, it will automatically use the US dollar balance before your payment method.  If you are Premium, the next time Premium fees or Tier fees come due, they would use the US dollar balance before your payment method.

If you do want to cash out, refer to the article Rolig posted.

Selling L$ can be instant or can take a while - depending on how you do it.

Picture below -- top is instant, bottom can be instant or take a while depending on the numbers you enter:

It is, if you sell at the Market rate instead of using the Limit Sell option.  But you're already past that point.  You said that you already have US dollars in your account and wanted to simply transfer them out of SL.  You don't have to sell anything else. Just follow those Credit Transfer instructions and you are home free.

Thanks, I'll read it now, thank you.

Ah, I see. I can't get my money, can I?

Process credit (withdrawal)

 Please note that you may only process credit due to net proceeds from sales of Linden Dollars.

from: 

So, basically I can't touch my money? Unless I sell Lindens? Ok, so no cash out. That's cool. I'll just use it inworld. Thanks for your help, my apologies for wasting your time.

[Charolotte Caxton]

But can't I just use it to buy Lindens and then sell them? Ugh, never mind. It's not even worth enough to deal with.

I don't know how to mark as solved.

Wait a sec ....   Do you have L$ or do you have US dollars?   From what you said at the start, it sounded as if you had already sold your L$, so you have a USD cash balance.  If that's the case, then just transfer them to your PayPal account. DONE.

If you don't have a USD cash balance, so all you have is L$, then go ahead and sell them. THEN transfer the cash to your PayPal account.  DONE.

You are correct, I do have a US balance, so just send it to PayPal?

Exactly.  That's what the Transfer Credit process does. 💰

[Charolotte Caxton]

That was a much easier answer than all the knowledge base articles I tried swimming through. By the way, they only point to more pages that only point to more pages. Thank you for helping me.

But what I didn't get is when I buy I use not PayPal, so that's on me, thank you for helping me.

[Rolig Loon]

No trouble.  You'll do fine. 

[Charolotte Caxton]

Here's the answer:

Processing credit with Tilia

In order to stay in compliance with regulatory requirements, if you wish to  credit a portion of your U.S. Dollar balance to your PayPal or Skrill account  (known as processing a credit)  then you must provide certain personal information to verify your identity, including your:

• Name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Social security number (or government-issued identification if you are not a U.S. Citizen).

You may also be required to provide additional information to complete the transaction. Tilia securely stores this information so that you should only need to provide it once.

Charolotte, if you are paying fees to LL, like land tier fees and Premium membership fees...

...just leave your USD balance alone. Let it sit there chillin'. When those fees come due, LL will draw first from your USD balance. If that doesn't cover it, then they will charge any remaining balance to your registered payment method.

Now, if you NEED $$ for some RL reason, then go through the Process Payment hoops to move some or all of your USD balance to PayPal. But otherwise, let it just be.

Thanks Lindal, also I discovered that on this page you have options at the top left that help tremendously.
