Oh, I see what you mean.  You have a PayPal account with a cash balance but you can't use it in SL.  Yes, that might be true, but it's very easy to fix.

The requirement is that you must have a verified PayPal account.  PayPal offers two ways to verify your account, either of which will work for SL.  You may verify it by providing PayPal with a credit card as backup, or you may give PayPal a bank account number.  That's PayPal's way to verify that they know who you are, and that they have a way to guarantee that you have cash to pay your bills to SL.  You get to choose which verification method you want to use.  Once the account is verified, it doesn't matter how you put money into it.  The verification is just PayPal's guarantee that you have a backup.

The only slightly annoying limitation is that banks cannot transfer money to PayPal fast enough for Internet sales. If you don't have a cash balance in your PayPal account and they have to ask your bank account for more, the bank might take as much as a day or more to send it.  Meanwhile, PayPal doesn't have money to send Linden Lab, so they will deny your purchases.  The solution is to always keep a cash balance in your PayPal account if the account was verified by a bank.  If you verified the PayPal account with a credit card, that's not a problem.

 

The moneys already on the account how long is the bloody verification-_-... ive waited for three days and didnt want  to add my bank account and its forcing me to so im relatively unhappy and probably will never buy linden again after this issue.

Why do we have to have a card so badly with Paypal even though its already got money on the located account?

cant we just Use the Money already on the account instead of the card?
