Madeliefste Oh

The lost connection seems to be between her marketplace order and her transaction history. Here you see her note card. First her MP order, then her transaction history. Next my MP order, then my transaction history.

Bring back the Ginko bank. They gave you 10% interest a week :smileylol:

Today I got a note from a customer who was not charged for one of my items. She offered me to still hand me the amount over in world. I checked my transaction history, but I was paid for the item. It's a few hours ago now, and I'm not sure she is still nog charged, she is not online now. It might be possible that the charge was delayed... if not she had free ride, while I was still paid.

Paypal is active in Russia for just two years or so. As far as I know there has been trouble for Russians with Paypal. I know a guy from Ukraine who could send money through Paypal but not receive any. But recently some things have changed. Few months ago Paypal was approved by the central bank of Russia. But I'm not sure Russians can now link Paypal to their bank accounts. It might still be problematic.

Charlotte Bartlett wrote: Again the biggest con however in RL data, not only is the merchant RL information provided, the customer's is too - and that's why regardless of the above I suspect this is never going to be feasible. People don't want to give out RL data to any random merchant. I agree with you, this is the biggest con.

To add one thing, if you're accepting RL money from EU citizens you might have to charge VAT tax additionally, which varies from country to country but can reach up to 21%. So an item that would cost 1$ to an American, would cost 1.21$ to an European, and there's all the bureacratic hassle with European tax authorities.. This is why it's more convenient to use play currency and that's also one reason why many Europeans are using Liberty Reserve or Webmoney, systems European authorities don't care about. The VAT issue is indeed a point of concern. Not that I don´t want to pay VAT, but it brings in a lot of extra administration, when you have to declare VAT to the taxes for all those micro payments.

So, if I withdraw 200 euros I get charged 5%, even more if I withdraw less. This is the case for most Europeans as far as I know, PayPal is an American company geared towards Americans. And there's currency conversion fees.. My bank is absolutely fine with accepting dollars or any other currency, but PayPal insists on exchanging it to my home currency before withdrawing and charges me additional 2.9%. And it's incredibly slow.. Arghh, this just reminded me why I no longer use PayPal. No, I live in Europe. It is not unpopular in my country at all, and it is considered a safe paying method. Not only more and more webshops but also large compagnies accept Paypal here. I paid for example my computer with Paypal. My bank is also fine with receiving dollars, however they charge 6 euro for the service, when it is foreign concurrency they charge a exchange fee as well, which is 5%. So for me Paypal is the cheapest solution.

Rommanno wrote: Well, on Virwox for example the rate was a bit higher, but it was actually cheaper because with Virwox you can make a SEPA transfer to your bank account directly bypassing Paypal, and it would only take 1-2 bussiness days. If transfering through Lindex, Paypal used to charge additional 5% from me as a middleman, and it would a week longer. So without Virwox now, I would be forced to use more expensive and a lot slower Lindex. Paypal never charged me 5%. Paypal charges 1 dollar, at the moment I transfer my money from my SL account to Paypal. When you cash out 50 dollar then the charge is indeed 5%, but when you cash out 1000 dollar, the charge is only 0,1 %

If you don't mind to use a third party service for SL, I guess you don't mind to use a third party service for Paypal neither. A service like Payoneer could be a solution for you.

When it was all that bad at Paypal, the service would not have more then 120 million users.

I don't mean to accept RL concurrency in stead of L$, but as an additional service. People who can still buy L$ have no problem, they can use those for the payment. The only alternative those people have now is paying with USD on the marketplace. And LL takes it all, leaving us the Monopoly money that we must exchange at the Lindex, paying 3,5% for the exchange service. I think we might be able to beat that marketplace USD price in our in world stores.

It is a tradition to sell your merchandise for L$, it is also the most easy way to do business in SL. But with the new TOS, it might become interesting for merchants to accept RL money in stead of L$. For customers who are no longer able to buy L$, it could be a solution to buy virtual goods or in their own currencies. As far is I can see there is nothing in the TOS that obligates a merchant to charge L$ for his merchandise. A micro payment system, like for example Google Wallet, could be used to pay and receive small amounts. Would it be realistic? What are the pros and the cons in your opinion?

Why not locate it on the moon?

Malanya wrote: I believe the account manager was whomever handles the exchange terminal on their land from the exchange company. I don't know of anyone having a LL acount manager but I could be wrong anything is possible. I came to the same conclusion when I read a similar post that said the same thing as the statemnet above. I was not talking about a person owning a single private region with an exchange terminal. I was talking about a person in the top 10 of biggest estate owners.

I know an estate owner who runs a little exchange as well. He has contacted his account manager for more clarifaction. He was told : "We will shut down any resident for a violation of the terms of service if we discover they are trading L$ outside of the LindeX. The only authorized exchange is the LindeX."

When you sell you always sell to other residents (through the Lindex). But when you buy, the money can both come from another resident or right away from the 'L$ press'.

Risk API is already shut down

This is the result So in the end the object is so small in SL that it would not have mattered that the path was not very close. More important is that I learned something here

I cried the best with Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves

The blogpost states: As with any legal document, it’s important to read in its entirety before accepting, but we wanted to highlight one of the changes we’ve made in this update. What are the other changes you made, LL?

Sylvio Runo wrote: The economy will brake. The economy broke when LL did forbit gambling, the economy broke when banks were no longer allowed in SL, the economy broke when we were no longer the owners of the land we have bought, the economy broke when LL raised the price of home steads, the economy broke when LL bought Xstreet, and so on. And must of us stayed and there did not change a thing for us. So I guess this new break of the economy will only have influence on the people running third party exchanges.
