Hello!

Does anyone ever funded the account using a bank wire payment?
We've sent the money according to the Support's instructions a week ago, and got nothing in SL yet!

Support keeps silence, no answers to the tickets are posted.
Can anyone advice what else I can do? We need that money, but they've lost somewhere in Linden Labs.

As part of my RL job, I used to be on the receiving end of international bank wire transfers. At least in my experience, they could take a few weeks to actually register with the receiving bank. I'm not sure WHY they took so long -- it seems like it should go much faster -- but they always did.

I'm assuming you are doing a wire transfer because you can't get a credit card or PayPal to work for you? I ask because in my experience, wire transfer was the slowest method, and MUCH more expensive (like $30 to send, and $15 to receive).

The CC of my bank is not accepted by the new SecondLife payment partner (GlobalCollect).

It seems that SL doesn't support PayPal anymore - I can't find where I can change payment method from CC to PayPal.

So I thought that it will be faster and cheaper for me to do a wire transfer. Now I see that it was a mistake .[

Is there any other way to use PayPal to fund the account?

You should be able to change to paypal in your account page.

There is a link for update payment method, and paypal is an option.
