If you're logged in to xstreet-sl, and can see a L$ balance, right below that L$ value is a small link that says "Withdraw". Click it to withdraw all or part of your L$ balance back to your avatar's L$ balance in-world.

That's what I remember--but it took me to a page that wanted credit card information apparently for a cash pay out.

This didn't used to be so hard. :(

OK, I just tried it again and it worked the way I expected and Ceera described. Thanks!

Sounds like maybe the first time you clicked a bit low, and hit the one for adding to your USD Balance.

No, it pays you back either to Paypal or credits your card account. You then have to buy them back.

D - did it actually credit your SL account? That option was not given to me last week, it wanted to put them in Paypal only. Strange.

I've been doing it as I described since well before LL took over XStreet-SL. You must be loggd in to x-street SL, and you must have a non-zero balance whit them for L$. Click Withdraw, right below the L$ balance, then indicate how many L$, and when you click OK, it immediately pays that many L$ to your account. In your transaction history, it shows up as a payment form an avatar named "Exchange Street".

BUY! BUY! BUY! getting them back in the game by spending is how you keep the economy going!

I don't think so. It's possible, but I remember there was a warning about fees when lindens were being cashed out.

Usually I put lindens in and spend them. But in the past I HAVE transferred them back from time to time. Been a while

Heh. I did. I needed to pad my auction bid a bit and it worked since the winning bid was within the difference of what I had and what I added.

I wonder who I pissed off. I miss the days when you could see who you were up against.

Ceera is right, it credits the lindens back into your SL account, no intermediate steps. I do it every month.

When you exchange lindens for dollars using the LL Sell page Linden Lab does collect a fee.
