Ughh why does it take so long to get lindens from sl

Nine of out ten times I do a limited buy order from sl and it always some frigging delay.

Yesterday I put one in at 7/24/09 at 17:36:41. I get up this morning it's not filled. NOTHING I cancelled, put in another order this morning at 17:36:41 and it is still not filled. What gives?

I don't do a market buy because I will receive less LL. Ugh!!!! I hate buying lindens They should make the process simplier.

Canceling your order and resubmitting it is only going to delay it some more.

At what price did you place your order? There's currently L$62M in buy orders waiting to be filled at 269. Daily volume runs between L$70M and L$90M, so at a minimum you should expect the better part of a day to be filled. However a very good percentage of that volume is at rates worse than 269, so in reality it can take several days for it to be filled.

If you're in a rush, you'll need to give up one L$/USD. If you place an order at 268, it will be filled much more quickly.

I posted it at 269. It is enough surplus.

Try Xstreet - even though LL now owns them, I seem to get my transactions much faster there. I've been buying L$ for roughly 273-274 lately and the longest fill time was maybe 6 hours, but mostly in less than 2 hours.

I know the feeling, OP, I cashed in 4 days ago, and still not in my Paypal account. I knew better, I usually use Xstreet, which is immediate. Taught me a lesson, wont use LL again.

What do 268 and 269 mean?

It's a price to buy at.

oh, lol.

Sometimes ya can hear the wind whistling through...

Basically if you have the US dollars in your account and you play the market right, buying at a certain price will get your more Linden dollars for your buck.
