I usually have enough cash to cover my monthly tier, but when I bought my mainland sim, they cleaned out my online $USD before charging my credit card. My tier was $15 and it flipped today. My balance is now in red and says -$15.
US Dollar balance: -US$15
I assumed they would just charge my credit card. Are they going to do this, or do I need to transfer cash somehow back to my online account so they don't close me out for being "late".

 You never had a minus to start with...........in theory....its called automation between LL and the banks. Lets make this real clear! When you authorise someone to use your credit card(not sure about Paypal but most probably similar) and say today your US Balance was $10.00 and LL charges you $20.00 then your account balance will be -$10.00.. When paying with your cc Linden Labs only get an Authorisation number that tells them that the transaction is ok..and not the money, unfortunately that is the process.. Depending on the clearing house that Linden uses it could take 3-5 working days for them to recieve the money.. after that then your account will be zero... I am sure that somebody reading this post who's credit card has been declined will tell you he/she received and email to notify him/her, then his balance would be in the minus as well. But before LL can take any action against you they have a duty to notify you first........... So, don't top your account up if its in the minus and you haven't received any notification informing you of a credit card problem... _____________________

In a lot of cases it's an indication that LL simply didn't bill (or was unable to) and it doesn't correct itself.
You can wait a few days, but remember you only have 7 days to settle a balance before they deactivate your account pending payment anymore. If it never balances out, "Increase Your Credit" (https://secondlife.com/account/manage_balance.php) can help you out . |
