This is a one of two secondary accounts I set up for my wife too use in SL. I want one of these too be premium and the other too be a normal free account once I pay the one off fee.

My primary account is already premium enabled with one years sub paid upfront, with an 8$ p/m land tier in addition.

However, I cannot get Paypal too work at all with any account, primary or secondary (I am in the UK but have set my debit card as primary fund source rather than the bank account which does not work from European Paypal accounts). When trying too activate either secondary accuont I get :

From: someone
Activation failed. Return to Your Account and try again.


If I try too buy lindens on my primary account with paypal this also fails.

I have tried too set up the accounts too use my credit card - if i can quote verbatim from another users thread on Hot Topics :

From: someone

After I've done that I get the message that my Credit Card can't be authorized.

- I've used the correct number;
- I've a Visa Card;
- I've entered the CVC 3 digit code;
- My card isn't expired;
- My monthly payment limit isn't reached.

I've never had any problems on other websites with autorizing my credit
card, so I don't know what I can do now.

What is confusing is i used this exact same card too pay for both my initial one year sub, the first land tier payment and some linden dollars to buy some land. It seems that since adding the secondary accounts things have gone screwy ?

Both secondary accounts expire today (Thursday) and I am worried that they will be lost, as well as the fact that my primary accounts land tier payment will fail too be taken correctly and I will lose that too :(

Could anyone assist or offer advice please ?

Hi,

I had exactly this problem. It was trying to bill Paypal for $0.00 and the transaction perpetually failed.

I wrote [email]billing@secondlife.com[/email] and they fixed it.

Thank you for your inquiry. We have reset your account to attempt to
rebill this evening. As you noted, it was failing as it was attempting
to bill 0.00.


Regards,

Linden Lab
