BellaxCullen Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am going to be buying Lindens with a paysafecard. But I need to know, which resellers do you think are trustworthy. I would use Second Lifes original Linden Seller, but all I would have is prepaid credit cards, and I have heard those don't work.So, which places are good places to buy from?

Chelsea Malibu Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 There is a list of Authorized exchanges at : http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_Marketplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaxCullen Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've seen that. I want some opinions though, its better safe than sorry. I've seen a lot of scams going on in Second Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaxCullen Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've tried paypal. I have to varify it and I've never been able to succesfully do so. I wish paypal was how it used to be in the earlier days. I'm thinking of http://www.xchange4ls.com, it seems pretty good with the prices, and there is positive feedback.

Claireschen Hesten Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 if you want an exchange with no minimum L$ or currency spend http://www.eldexchange.eu lets you buy from 0,01 of your currency and use many payment methods including paysafecard. i always use this exchange and haven't had any problems with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaxCullen Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 I might just use that one. The rates are really good, 6,300 L$ for 25 dollars. Thank you for suggesting it, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyo Darcy Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It I want to sell/buy my lindens very fast.. then I use EldexExchange. I use it from time to time. They are trustfull. I had only one problem in these two years and then I noticed the Support is very great (They just wrote me back 1 minute later). I would suggest them when not using LLs L$ Services..

LL makes quite a disclaimer about dealing with third-party exchanges, and while they are using the Risk API (making them relatively safe), they are not really authorized to exchange Lindens. Anyone can exchange them whether they use the Risk API or not. It is just that the Risk API adds a layer of protection. I know you understand this, I just wanted to clarify for those who might mistake your statement to mean they are "official" as far as LL is concerned.

I dont understand your problem authorized means authorized and doesn´t mean they are official. It just means that LL has a list of which service they think are ok and which are dubios. In fact authorized means here they are authorized to echange L$ and nothing else. Example.. Viewers.. Emeralld Viewer was a long time authorized while they later wasnt authorized anymore. Dont make a sience out of the word "authorized" I bet no one would mistake her statement. She posted a list of completely authorized L$ exchange services who are defenetly have the right to sell L$. Or did I mistake your statement anyhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenbro Utu Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 au·thor·ize <script type="text/javascript"></script> tr.v. au·thor·ized, au·thor·iz·ing, au·thor·iz·es 1. To grant authority or power to. 2. To give permission for; sanction: the city agency that authorizes construction projects. Using "authorized" implies that Linden Lab gave the authority or power for these exchanges to operate. This is not true. Anyone can set up an exchange site without permission from LL, and LL never grants any type of authority for such a site.. The only difference these particular sites have is they are using, on a voluntary basis, the Risk API provided freely by LL that adds a layer of protection. But again, these sites operate under no authority from LL. I think it is important to understand this distinction. Yes it is semantics, and maybe I am the only one who sees it this way, so there, I made myself feel better. :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: Edit: Sorry, I cannot help but make science out of words, it is my profession.

LittleMe Jewell Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 No, as mentioned in the other thread you created, it is against the TOS to buy/sell anywhere except the LindeX from your dashboard: https://secondlife.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post was removed, as well as the complete other thread that the person started. My guess is because both posts actually gave a link to a third party site that claimed to sell L$. The pages are all still in my browser history, but no longer accessible. Edited January 1, 2018 by LittleMe Jewell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
