Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, am still fairly new too this all, literally forums and SL, have just tried to buy lindens using paypal but got the following message...

We are unable to complete your request.
• Could not charge account.
• The system encountered an error while processing your order, please try again.


Order Summary
Description: Buy Linden Dollar Order for L$9820
Estimated Price: US$37.50

Payment Method
PayPal


Just wondering if it's a SL problem, or Paypal, and if there's some form of fix for it ?
Mainly asking due to the fact am getting married soon in SL, and really need to make this purchase to book things and buy other things for the wedding and such.

Thanks in advance

That happened to me a week or so ago. I tried a few times on the website and it did not work. However, I then tried buying them in world and it went without a hitch.

Try logging in and in the top right corner of the window you will see a blue square by the time. Click that and it will take you into the inworld buy linden screen.

Good luck and congrats on your marriage. :)

Oh, and welcome to the forum too.

One other thing, LL only takes verified paypal payments. I ended up using my paypal credit card instead of trying direct as well. That could be an issue.

It could be the amount that you're trying to buy. Is this the first time that you've bought L$? I notice your join date of Apr 2008; it could be that you have a limited buy amount for your first purchase, which will increase after a few days.

No this would be the 3rd time now have bought L's, but it very well could be that i have some form of limit per day, shall try a lower limit, if not shall try Macphisto's suggestion, and thank for the welcoming and congrats :)

Double check your limits on the LindeX Buy page (https://secure-web12.secondlife.com/currency/buy.php), as there is both a 24 hour limit and a 30 day limit.
