Just to let the Lindens know... you guys ARE losing sales because you only accept credit cards!

Visa Check-Card, PayPal Debit-Card... Aren't these options for you?
I agree that PayPal might be convenient for some, but the suggestions above are readily available to 99% of folks, aren't they? Take care, --Noel "HB" Wade (Tread Whiplash) |

Actually, I'm not fond of PayPay because they're anti-sex.
For that reason, LL may not be able to actually USE PayPal. _____________________

Ah, but PayPal is owned by eBay, and Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay just invested $8M in LL, so one would assume that LL would have a bit more leverage than the average company in getting PayPal to work with SL.  _____________________

Most banks offer a check/debit card that works just like a credit card and is accepted for online transactions perfectly fine as long as they are Master Card, VISA or another widely accepted card company.
PayPal can't be used for SL because there is adult content on the grid, read PayPal's TOS you will be amazed. Oh and it is owned by Ebay now who imposed the Puritan ethos when they took over. I wonder how long it will be before the money from folks affiliated with Ebay will start coming with strings attached... |
