I quote "Linden Lab accepts payments through PayPal that are funded from a bank account, Switch or Solo card, or a PayPal balance."
Wrong no they dont take payment from a switch card or a bank account, I have both in my paypal in my account, and it wont take payment from either one.
Every month I have to go through the tedious task of sending money to paypal from my bank account to paypal balance. This is the only way I can pay my fees as a british user. Paypal dont allow the payment of pre-payment agreements through those 2 methods.
Due to a misunderstanding (on my part, I made a mistake I accept that). Thanks to the ridiculous amount of time it takes to transfer money, im about to loose my premium account and my 2048m plot.
Also I have a friend that inhabits my free 512m plot as she is also restricted by the lack of payment options to users outside the usa, and as a consequence she will loose her "home".
I've posted about this before and asked, but so far its got me nowhere. I just get the usual "email billing support" which is pointless I just get a bunch of automated responses that are no help at all.
So currently im just puzzled and worried about what im going to do next. I have the money in my account waiting to be paid, but thanks yet again to lack of payment options theres nothing I can do about it.
Sure I could just pony up when the money is transfered and re-activate my soon to be frozen account. But why should I have to. Every time I come up against a problem its back to billing issues.
Im sick and tired of it, im not getting a credit card so dont even think of suggesting that, i've stated my reasons why in previous posts.
There is a solution to this, linden simply have to realise that there are people outside the usa that want to play second life and dont have a credit card. This continuing hassle is really making me have Second Thoughts about wether its worth my time and effort.
Its not like its difficult to set up alternative payments, plenty of other MMORPGS and other online games manage it quite adequately, and usually have it as an option from the start.
From my understanding Second Life has been around for 3 years now, surely during that time one of the lindens must have thought "wait a minute what about players outside the USA" do they really want to limit the user base that much and loose out on making money.
So far i've spent nearly £100 getting myself established in this game, and its all about to come to nothing. Its becoming really frustrating, and theres only so many phone calls i can make and emails that I can send before I get well and truely sick of it all.
I think I might go back to playing wow if this goes on much longer.
Sure it doesnt have the same level of freedom and ability to do what you want, but at least I can pay for it with no hassle, and when I have a question I get a straight answer from blizzard.

I'm not a premium user yet but will upgrade soon. Am I not right in thinking that fees are taken from your Lindex account and you need to have the cash in the US$ balance of your lindex account to cover them. Therefore, why not convert L$ into US$ to cover the fees while the money is en-route from to your paypal account. Having said that, in the UK we have to endure the slow movement of funds in other areas of live squiz, so if you can allow enough time to pay your electricity and phone bills, why is planning ahead for SL so difficult for you?
