You didn't specify who is telling you this.  PayPal or Linden Lab?

When you add payment information, LL pays you $1.00 through the account you gave them to verify that it is a valid account and can be used to debit and credit your transactions. This is probably the 'purchase" that is being referred to, unless you also signed up for a premium account and they are attempting to debit your PayPal account for the fee.  If Linden Lab is telling you this, there may be a problem with your PayPal account and the verification transaction doesn't go though.  You need to then find out what the problem is and correct it.

If PayPal is telling you this, then you need to link a RL account of some sort to PayPal such as a debit or credit card or a bank account or contact PayPal to find out what their issues are.

 

If you are not sure what the specific problem is with your payment information from SL's point of view, you can call LL Billing to find out.

well i linked my bank account to paypal then went to sl and clicked billing info and clicked paypal to add it... then it went to log me in to paypal and then it said i need a CC to confirm this purchase... so i dunno which one wants it.

I called support... the issue has been resolved.

 

Solution: the CC i had recently taken off wasnt actually taken off yet and it confused the system...

 

imagine that... i even confuse computers o.0:matte-motes-silly:
