i'm in world and shopping.. cause I like to shop of course.. and somthing odd just happened.
First I was going to buy only 300 L$, figured that would be enough.. so put that in, it said it would cost me 2.50. Then I decide different, that I think it wouldn't be enough after all so put in 500 L$. It rounds it up to 585 L$ (Which brings me to a nice round 750 at the moment), but the usd price is still 2.50. Wow! So basically, its telling me that I bought an additional 200 L$ for free.. or that they just charge the extra cause they can... doees this kinda thing happen often?

It appears they're only letting people buy a minimum of 585L's at 2.50 USD. If I try to purchase 300L..it immediately rounds up to 585L.
Kinda sucks. Sometimes you don't want 500+ lindens.  _____________________

Wouldn't it be easier to buy USD 10 instead of USD 1 at a time? From the LindeX Fees page:
Fees for Buying L$ You will be charged a fixed fee of $0.30 per transaction regardless of the amount of L$ you purchase. This means that every time you buy USD 1 separately, you'll be charged USD .30.... it would end up being much cheaper in the long run if you bought USD 10, rather than USD 1 ten times.... _____________________

Fun thing is, the charge seems to apply only when purchasing via the web page. It did not apply when I bought them inworld for an avatar to get started. I was only charged the 2.50 USD, no additional fee. _____________________
