Linking my bank account?

[Peggy Paperdoll]

You can use a debit card tied to your checking account.  Treat the debit card as if it's a credit card when entering the billing information.

 

A word of caution.  For about a week now there have been more than usual complaints about updating billing information failing.  Roughly a week ago LL did some (evidently) major billing maintenance........and that's about when these recent complaints started hitting the forums.  I would call billing before I did anything right now.......ask if they can guide you through the process while you're on the phone with them (explain your concerns of the postings for the last week about billing updating issues).  The few times I've called for billing support they support people have been very helpful.

If you are in a country where you can do it, I recommend getting a verified PayPal account.  This is easy...go to the PayPal site and sign up, then follow their process to "verify" the account by linking it to a RL bank account.

PayPal has two advantages over credit cards, IMO:

1.  You can limit your liability by using a bank account you establish for online PayPal transactions, and not keeping too much money in it.

2.  If you make a profit in SL, you can exchange your $L for a $USD credit, and transfer that dollar balance to your PayPal account.
