If you just added a new payment method (credit card or PayPal), there is a $1 charge, but that will be refunded/revoked in a few days. You are not actually being charged that money, Linden Lab is just checking to see if your payment method (credit card) is good.

Your "Payment method" must be set to "apply" to each of several possible costs:

Buy Lindens through the viewer

Buy Lindens through the Lindex web site

Pay reoccuring fees such as for premium membership, mainland parcels, etc. (if any).

 

To actually buy the Lindens, you have to do it either through the viewer, or through the Lindex web site, or else through a Linden approved 3rd party Linden reseller. See:
