I have been having issues with payment on second life for about two weeks now. I made my first account which I connected to my visa debit card, which I came to realise was not a supported payment type. I then switched to PayPal, did not work, my payments kept coming back as failed or declined. I then installed Skrill (in each my account was verified), and same issue again. i decided to make a new account and just added Skrill as my payment type and received a new error message this time, that is “ we are unable to complete your request.. You can’t exchange currency… click here for more info” I live in Ireland so my main currency is euro, however I have automatically changed to usd on my Skrill balance, so idk what the issue is. could anyone advise on this? would getting a credit card instead solve anything? any help is appreciated

I have recently purchased 40+ euro worth of linden dollars. The payment came back as unsuccessful and cancelled yet money was still taken out of my account. Would anyone know if this is a common issue and if theres a way fix to it? I have issued support tickets regarding the matter but no replies yet. I paid with a credit card if that means anything Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Hello. I am wondering why, I can't process lindens out. I heard you have to go to process credit but I don't see an option for me, I only have 868 Lindens is there a reason I can't process it out?

Hi there! Okay, so I'm new to Second Life. I've visited once or twice, but never really got too into it. I've been eyeing some complete avatars in the marketplace recently so I wanted to buy some Linden$. Now, I use GPB, but I know PayPal does change the USD to GBP when checking out. I have a PayPal account, I sign in to buy Linden Dollars and suddenly this comes up: " - By clicking Agree and Continue I confirm that I want to use Visa # for my current and future purchases with Linden Research, Inc.. I authorise Linden Research, Inc. to charge my PayPal account for such purchases and I instruct PayPal to pay such amounts. I understand this lets me check out faster by not having to log in to PayPal to complete my purchase. I understand that if I have a PayPal balance, that balance will be used first and that if my preferred funding source has expired or been declined, PayPal will charge my backup funding source. I can change my preferred funding source or cancel this authorisation at any time in my PayPal Account. The payments will be treated by PayPal as pre-approved payments as specified in the PayPal User Agreement. - " To be clear, I don't want to pre-approve any transactions. I want to buy a one off $20+ and leave it at that for now (especially since, from what I've read, a lot of this game does use real cash albeit converted to Lindens). I'm looking to purchase a cool avatar and roam around the freebie areas, no fancy land holdings or anything like that. If I enjoy SL and want another, then I may choose to spend more but as of right now, that's a big if. I feel safer with any and all online shopping when I have to use PayPal's checkout so I can watch exactly what I'm buying and when. So far I can't see any option to remove the faster checkout or the pre-approved purchases. Most websites offer pre-approved/faster checkout as a tickbox (which I always avoid/untick) but I can't see it here. Please let me know if I missed anything or how to amend this in one of the account options. Thanks in advance.
