Deposits using paypal

I dont know its ok to post that in that section, but I would like to know if there is anyone with the same problem.

This problem has to do by purchasing L$ through paypal (even for paying monthly membership).

Yesterday (and not only yesterday, I had the same issue 2 weeks ago), I was trying to buy L$ through paypal. My CC has more credits than the required for the transaction. As u can guess, the transactions were declined. I was trying for 2 hours but with no success.

20 minutes ago I tried again, no success.

I decided to make a search with google for a solution. I found a company that makes such transactions with a fee (I wont name that company, is a famous one). I requested through their form 500L$ and using paypal.

Yes, I got my L$. Right after that, I went back to sl deposit page to purchase the same amount. The result: FAIL

( We were unable to fulfill your Linden Dollar order.
Your payment either failed or took too long to complete. If your payment completes, the amount will be placed on your USD account balance. This balance will be used automatically the next time you attempt a purchase.)

Im 101% sure that the sl form is buggy (I used a different browser too) when its trying to contact paypal. Actually that form's requests never reaches paypal.

I made a phonecall to paypal (from Greece) to ask if there is a problem with the Linden Lab. They told me there wasnt any problem and that my bank may decline the transactions. I made then a phonecall to my bank and they told me that there arent any transaction attempts from paypal (!!!!!!!!). What the hell?

I could used that third party company from now on for purchasin L$ but I dont want to pay the extra fee.

So, anyone faced the same problem?

PS I mentioned above that I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. For 36 hours I was trying to purchase L$ but with no success. Suddenly, after that time, I had a succesful deposit. Seems that the SL system on this,  is very unstable.

I had that exact same problem just last week. After calling both LL and Paypal, it turned out I had to up my credit limit on PayPal. Its set at $200 or $250 ...can't remember which, but upping that sorted the problem and I could buy Lindens again.

Click on a recent Linden Research, Inc transaction *Details*, Then View Billing Agreement Details, scroll down and you will see what your limit is set at, up that limit and away you go!

Glad I am not the only one over spending )

No unfortunatelly is not a limit problem, I havent used my paypal for anything than SL. And since now I may have used up to 50$. No more.

Also, the test I made with the third party (the company that supplies characters with L$) using their paypal shows that is not a paypal/bank problem.

I managed to add 500L$ into my account with them, then I tried to add 500L$ more, using LL web form and it failed.

Finally, the proble, never solved. So I have to pay high fees to third party exchangers. Thanks LL (just think to hire me and fix every buggy form of u).

But this is not the only problem. Today Im facing new problem, regarding submitting my VAT.

Thats so great. Im so happy that nothing really works.
