So, after reading the relevant threads, i now know that as a European user i can not use paypal any more to buy things via marketplace without having some money deposited in my paypal account, even if my paypal is linked to my bank account... ...well, usually i uploaded about 100 Euros to SL via 3rd party money services and then i spend about another 100 Euros via the paypal payment ooption on markeplace... ..as that option is now no longer available, my spending in SL will decrease by about 50%, which means i will save a lot of money which i normally would have spent inworld ! ... so, i wish to say Thank You, LL! - other firms and businesses might try to get their customers to spend more, but you actually helped me spend considerably less now, that is really very social of you :P
