I have a feeling I know the answer to this - probably something like: Don't use Paypal but:
I have managed to credit my Paypal account in order to use it to buy L$ but there I have stuck. I have used the Paypal account sucessfully elsewhere but SL doesn't seem to like it. I note from another post that there may be an unresolved issue with this but - if anyone out there has managed to fund their SL via Paypal, could you share how? Many thanks ...

I think that SL only takes verified Paypal. Xstreet, at least for now, will take unverified payments, if you just want to get it over with and buy some L$. If your Paypal is verified, well yuck.

I fund SL from my paypal account with no issues. Mine is a business paypal account and that might make it easier but the only problem I had was related to my paypal transaction limits for SL.

Paypal customer service might be able to help they can be responsive most of the time.

Your paypal account MUST be verified for SL to accept it for payment :)

I have used paypal for about 2 years,so many times i could nt begin to guess how many
So far not one problem
I assume you updated your payment information
When i first went to set up mine initially,i coud'nt find any option for paypal,only credit cards.
I phoned LL and after a bit of head scratching the person asked another and it seemed at that time if one has yahoo e mail,hotmail and one other i can't remember ,the paypal option will not show.
I use yahoo so i found another e mail to use and then the paypal option showed

"verified" means that you have given PayPal your bank account number, and they have confirmed it by making a couple of small deposits to your account.
