It could be like what they did with gmail and had it where you could only join if someone currently using it sent an invite. You are correct, it's invite only right now, thus this post :matte-motes-big-grin-squint:

I really beg the differ, if anyone has experanced the graphical power of the dual core tegra tablets (much like the Galaxy 10.1 I just bought) I really think there is potential for at least a snowglobe based viewer. There used to be a web-based Java viewer available that was axed for some reason, but that was a great display of how you can experiance SL on a limited platform.

I have posted this on a few sites I am active on, so I figured I would pass it along to my comrads of Second Life. I have Google Plus beta invites, and if anyone is interested in checking out the next big thing in social networking, send me a message and I will get you invited! There has been over 20 million users sign up, in under a month! For an invite, send me a message with your Google/Gmail email address, please don't post on the forum, exposing your email is not a good idea, as there have already been email mining fishing attacks spread due to this very nature. Thanks! Jeeper

Well good news! First off. I received the following email, which wasn't much of a reassurance to my concern... "Starting 7/25/2011, money from payments you receive will be placed in a pending balance for up to 21 days. By doing this, we're making sure that there's enough money in your account to cover potential refunds or claims.Even though you can't access the money right away, please ship orders quickly and communicate with your customers. After 21 days, you can withdraw money from each payment as long as the customer hasn't filed a dispute, chargeback, claim, return, or reversal. The money may be available sooner if: We can confirm that the item was delivered. Your buyer leaves positive feedback. (Applies only to eBay items) This change isn't necessarily permanent. We'll review your account every 35 days and re-evaluate if we should continue to hold your payments. If we decide to stop holding payments, we'll email you to let you know." Then I received the call back from the Paypal Senior Customer Service Rep, who had great news for me! He told me that they have been getting flooded with calls reguarding this "misunderstanding". He then proceeded to tell me he went through my account and noticed most of the payments are "mass payments" meaning from a company such as Linden Labs. He assured me that these types of payments will not be held. Sorry for the concern, but this thread might end up being usful in the long run if anyone elese receives a similar email, I know the first place I checked was the SL forum. Thanks! Jeeper (P.S. LindenLabs should STILL try to give us an alternitive to Paypal... putting all your eggs in once basket sometimes bites you in the rear)

Hmmm Interesting... I processed some credit earlier today, so mid-week should be the tell-tail sign. I have utilized my account for eBay in the past, but not for a while. I understand the hold on eBay sales, but if it turns into "All Payments" as the rep I spoke with indicated, I will be greatly upset.

Thanks Arwen, I asked the CS rep I spoke with, and he said it would be on all payments received, so lets hope he was wrong. It really seemed like the reps did not know about the policy chage (or at least the one I spoke with) as he was kind of fumbling and ended up having to "look at my account". Fingers crossed! That would make life difficult in may aspects imo.

Thanks for the replys! Ceera, this is across the board, being rolled out in groups. I called Paypal CS to confirm, it was initiated on the 25th of July. I have had my Paypal account for about 10 years, and never had a claim against me. We withdrawl from LL multiple times a month. I will post an update once I speak with the Senior CS Rep (assuming they return my call)

May, well, most of us merchants on SecondLife utilize the ability to withdraw money from the SecondLife account, to use it in RL. Well, a new paypal policy is making our lives a bit harder. From now on, Paypal will hold ALL received payments for 21 days. Whats this mean to us? Essentially it means that we now have to wait the 3-4 days PLUS an addition 21 days, because we have no way of validating "that the purcashed item has been received" (geared more towards ebay merchants). I have a call into Paypal Customer Service, awaiting a reply from a "Senior CS Rep" reguarding the issue. It would be nice if Linden Labs offered other options outside of Paypal to withdraw funds from our accounts. For more information, see link in the alert below you will get upon next login to Paypal. From now on, money you receive will be temporarily held in a pending balance. To learn more, please read our Payment Holds policy.
