It appears someone was lied to...I was specifically told by LL, both in a phone conversation and in answer to a support ticket I submitted that they have made no changes to their Paypal "integration". I have been charged cash advance fees by my credit card company through Paypal for both tier and premium dues payments.

@LittleMe Jewell It has happened twice so far...one charge was for tier and one for a monthly premium membership fee

Just wanting to mention, to clarify. Virtual currencies are treated like any other asset on the personal tax return...no need to list when acquired; only If you incur a profit or a loss when you sell them.

According to my credit card bank, they are really just taking advantage of something done between Second Life and Paypal..."upon review of your account, we can confirm that the Paypal Second Life transaction made on July 15, 2020 was considered to be a cash transaction and you were charged a cash advance fee as a result of that transaction." I agree with you...I think Paypal is classifying Tilia as a MSB -- which it is.

I have had a response back from the ticket I submitted to SL...they suggest I try removing Paypal and then adding it back as my payment method! I will make no further comment here.

Sadly, the credit card company would not refund the fees. They did warn me, however, that interest on cash advance transactions is charged from day one...live and learn as they say...hopefully my work-around will work!

In my case it was Paypal who changed the Linden Research transactions from "entertainment" to "money transfer", which enabled my credit card bank to hit me with the $10 cash advance charge for each transaction. It had nothing to do with Tilia, and that name does not appear in the transaction. After speaking with Paypal customer service, I have changed my Linden Research transactions through Paypal to be paid with a bank debit card...which they said should get rid of the "cash advance" fee. I have also opened an SL ticket about this issue...we'll see what happens going forward.

Just had this issue today...it began with a Linden Research charge on July 15. Prior to that, the Linden Research charges were listed in my Paypal as entertainment. Beginning on July 15, they started listing them as money transfers, and my credit card bank charged me a $10 cash advance fee for each transaction. Second Life customer service referred me to my bank, who referred me to Paypal. Apparently no one can get this changed, so the work around is to have Paypal use my bank account for the Linden Research transactions. And no one will refund me the cash advance fees I was charged. (I'm from the US if that makes a difference) The other work-around would be to use my credit card directly on the SL website. This is really not fair!

I have "install optional updates" selected in preferences...this evening it updated four times, at one point i had 6.4.5 544097, but that was removed, and wound up with 6.4.4 543157...anyone know why it does that? p.s. have changed my preferences selection to "install only mandatory updates" for the time being

What a beautiful way to describe the true thing. Thinking back over my years in SL (since 2007) I would have to agree -- my other accounts (alts) are mostly aspects of myself; certainly the ones who have remained prominent. Some are retired, and a few created only for land ownership/game of homes -- these aren't important and have no personalities. Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts and in that way encouraging some self-examination.
