why do i have a negative linden dollar balance? I had zero lindens before

[donwolfani Doghouse]

something stole lindens from my account.    lindens i never even had.

 

before I had a zero balance,  i get on today to see about transfering some lindens from an alt account to let me upload an animation and lo and behold my main account has -4 lindens.    how is that even possible?

 

are we being charged for listing free items in the market now or is this an error?  in which case when is it gonna be fixed?

 

if it is the magic box that is fine because all my items are going off market immediately.   the only reason the were free to begin with was you people started making us pay a monthly fee to list items that had a price so screw the SL website market place im just deleting my magic box entirely because im not paying unreasonable fees for selling stuff that i don't even get any profit from

Sounds like you are member of groups that charge a group liability. This happens either intentional or the group owner doesn't know about this. You should check your transaction log where the money has actuelly gone to.

[Rolig Loon]

The most likely answer is that you are paying group liabilities for some group(s) you belong to.  Groups are charged for listing parcels in search, for example, and members share a prorated portion of those charges unless the group owner has turned off that "ability" for certain roles of membership in the group.   Open your Transaction History from the Acccounts link on your dashboard at secondlife.com.  It will show you where any expenses have been incurred.  Then contact group owners if you need to ask for a change (or leave the groups if necessary).

wait. what? :smileyindifferent:

[Rolig Loon]

Gee ..... I must have missed that one too, Bee. Where's that "Please let me pay a monthly fee!" check box? I have had stuff listed in Marketplace and its predecessors for a long time and I've never seen it.

[bee Baroque]

yeah, they did try that listing fee thing, but it never went live.

or perhaps some priviledged few have had the honor

Whoa. When did that happen? Have I missed something here? Again?

[Pimiko]

oh, I have similar problem. I have some amount and didn't buy anything but suddenly I realized some lindens disappeared.

[Rolig Loon]

Read the messages above yours in this thread, please ^^^

[Pimiko]

and I see a weird inscription in my group: "Group memebrs must contribute more land credits to support land in use"; i completely misunderstand. land belongs to the group and until some day it ddidn't steal our L$. what happens?

[Pimiko]

there r many members in the group and some of them are offline for a long time and anyway they don't have to pay since they doin't own the land; how can I stop that liability?

[Pimiko]

nothin is said about how to switch liability to the owner only.

Same situation here, I'd been at zero for years, and today noticed I'm at negative Eight! Only I don't believe I'm part of any groups and have never listed anything to sell -- I've been offline the past couple of years, perhaps on one or two sessions since 2014, not anything I would have thought might cost, but then I've pretty much forgotten how to do most everything on SL! Still, my Lindex page shows no recent transactions, so it isn't anything I did today.

[Rolig Loon]

It's impossible to reconstruct transactions that might have occurred two or three years ago. If you're missing about 3 cents because of some small transaction in the past, it's hardly worth spending the energy to figure out where they went. I don't have any more of a clue about where they went than you do, but I know that we both misplace more than that in pocket change every day.
