Need Help - Transfering $L

[SarinCyanide]

So I opened commisions on an art website for good-quality artwork. I don't have a pay-pal as of yet, so I told people they could pay in $L.

This is where I need your help. I have a few cmmsions I can't finish because I don't know what information to give them to send over $L or how to receive them if there is sme special way to do that.

I can't finnish their pictures until I receive payment (as a part f my policy so that I don't get stod up, I finish anout halfway before I stop and wait for payment)

Also, does it take a few days to go through like with paypal and transfering money?

Please help? I don't want to disapoint anyone.

To receive money in second life, all you need to do is send the payer to your profile.

There's an option called "pay" under "actions" (though they'll need to have an SL account, and be logged in to see the "Actions" menu there. If you're dealing with inworld people, they should know how to open your profile and from there should be able to pay you. If you're dealing with outside people who don't have SL accounts, then you're reaslly asking them to go through an awful lot just to send you some money.

In that case, you really do need to get set up with paypal, or one of the other online payment alternatives.

Also, if you seriously expect people to send you money, the least you could do is fill out your profile with some information. Nothing says "take the money and run" like a blank profile.

wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Billing_FAQ#How_do_I_setup_payment_with_PayPal.3F Basically, to pay you in lindens, your buyers would need to set up payment to SL with their credit card or paypal. They would need to buy lindens at whatever the current rate is, log in with their avatar and then pay you. There is also a $30 cap for the first month. It's quite a bit to do if they are not current SL users. The last time I bought lindens was a few years ago and it took less than a day to process. I have no idea how it is now.

Wow, thank you. I didn't know my profile was blank. I guess it doesnt help that I'm still somewhat new. I'm going to fix that now.

And thank you so much. It all confused me so much, but I knew other commisioners did this as well. Of course, I need to do my research first next time.

Check your Transaction History often. 

To do this, log in at www.secondlife.com main page.

Click My Account. Click Transaction History. 

Enable it to view the past 500 transactions. Choose the earliest date in the first drop down menu. View.

I advise sending them a copy and pasted note card with the record of their payment. Make that note card NO MODIFY.

Then you both have proof they paid. And if they didn't, you can ask them: WHY NOT?

If you shop at Amazon a lot (like I do) you can have people pay you via amazon payments (google it). You can use the money to buy stuff from Amazon or pay other people. Sorry, not very SL related.

All of this is confusing on selling lindens and trying to make sure it gets to paypal right, has my tummy in a ball of nervous. Does any one understand how it works. I had done it once before and it took almost 8 days to get it done and I had posted in wrong forum so that seem to have got me help, giggles some    how as I did not see the money go into paypal after 8 days I try to find where to ask for help and I posted for help in wrong forum, but it help get things going but still I need to understand where I had gone wrong in the transfer of funds.  Dose any one know how it is done right.  HELP.
