Ok, I know this is probably a really stupid question, especially for the time I've been here.

Situation: I sold some lindens recently which are now reflected in a USD amount on my Account Summary Page. Is there a way to do that transaction in reverse?

What I want to do is convert the USD amount back into lindens on my avatar. I looked into the info on selling lindens but that seems to be a whole other thing. (I also tried searching the forums first but kept getting a blank page.)

Thank you for any help. :)

LL always charges your US$ balance with them first before charging your payment method so if you just buy L$ like you normally would then you're fine.

You might want to consider placing a limit buy order though; it would make up for the 3.5% that you lost when selling.

Thanks, Kitty, but not quite what I want to do.

I've decided to sell off all but my tier-free 512 parcel. Last night I thought I'd keep the other land for one more month hoping to sell for better than land bot prices, but now I've changed my mind.

So there is nothing LL would need to charge me for if I have no tier and I would like the USD back in my avatar account. (I have a sinking feeling this isn't possible. :( )

You sold L$ on the LindeX and now have a positive US$
You buy L$ and LL will take the cost of them out of your positive US$

Not quite sure what I'm missing? :confused:
