Can I buy Lindens with Paysafecard?

[DarkFide]

I've downloaded the Second Life and I like it very much, but I want a premium account to build my own virtual house.

I don't have a credit card because I don't have enough income yet and I don't use PayPal. I thought the Second Life accepted Paysafecard payments but I don't understand how I do that. Can anyone help me, please?

Issues with prepaid and gift cards

A common cause of payment method failure is the use of unsupported card types. At this time, the majority of prepaid cards are not compatible with our system, even if they bear the VISA/AMEX/Mastercard logo. This includes cards purchased at retail stores, rechargeable credit cards, and bank-issued check cards.

1.  You can get land and a home without a Premium account.  Rent land on the Mainland from another resident, or buy land on a private estate from another resident.

2.  I recommend that you do get a PayPal account.  In my opinion it's the best way to pay for Second Life.  Get it "verified" by linking it to a Real Life bank account.  PayPal's site explains how to do this.

3.  If you wish to use your PaySafe card to purchase $L, use a reputable third party site.  I recommend VirWox.
