Recently I cashed out a few L$ (only about US$ 11 worth) through PayPal. Or rather my utility inanimate alt did. It's got a free account**, but with payment info on file. When 'it' made the payment, it went out of the SL account but hasn't turned up in my PayPal account yet after 3 days. This is my first L$ cash-out in my 3 years in SL. Is this delay normal?
**PS I wanted to keep my own Premium account on my credit card, so I set the alt up for PayPal.

Never having been a PayPal user, I have no personal experience, but I did read in other thread today that it takes 5 days.

Yeah it's usually around 5 days. LL is super efficient.

Thanks - that's OK then. I don't need to look for a 'bangs head on table' animation after all, then! I'm not worried about the time, only whether the cash has evaporated in some sort of cyber crunch!

PS I wanted to keep my own Premium account on my credit card, so I set the alt up for PayPal. if you did it through the sl site then you've probably got another couple of days - they say 0- 5 days but I've never had it take less than 3 and a couple of weeks ago it took over 5 days. You're better off to use XSL if you can. That can take anything from seconds to a couple of days if you get caught by the risk API (which is always guaranteed with the first transfer but after that is sporadic if you transfer frequently). _____________________

It actually requires 2 steps to get the US$ into the PayPal account...
1st.. - Sell the Lindens on the Exchange - This places the proceeds in US$ in your Account 2nd.... Process Credit in order to have the US$ sent to the PayPal Account. Linden Lab does not automatically process a PayPal credit if you sell Lindens. So if you haven't done the 2nd step.. Process Credit.. the US$ is just sitting at Linden Lab. Having that PayPal info on file does not mean they will automatically send the Money. Check your account page. You will see a Linden Balance and a US$ Balance. Process Credit is located under Lindex Exchange... Manage. |

Cashing out via XStreet to Paypal still only takes minutes, because they still use the mass pay feature.

I've never known the transfer to PayPal to take less than 4 days - if it goes over 5 days, chase them up. I expect it's a busy period for the staff dealing with cash-outs.

I always transfer my lindens to XStreet, sell them there and then transfer the dough to paypal. _____________________
