You may need to delete and recreate your payment method on file. That seems to do the trick for most people. If that doesn't work, there may be a deeper rooted problem with the account and you may have to file a ticket with billing.

I hope you can help me hehe. I have tried for many many many hours for many many days, trying to get help in useing my paypal account. I have had many friends spend a long time with no success in helping me. I have done everything I can think of. can't find a name in paypal or sl to help me access my account to give me lindes. I sent a ticket and the responce was to do the same things everyone esle has told me to do. I did it anyway. On the last step it comes up saing ....not charde to account...system encountered an error in your account while proccesing your buy order....try again. I have got to this point about 30 times now. I don't know what the error is( it won't say) and I don't know how to find out hehe. I did get someone to give me a phone # for billing department ( crashed and lost it before I could copy and paste, Just my luck of course hehe). I have followd every step from all emails from paypal and linden labs. I have sent 2 tickets ( 4051-4364884) and (4051-4361493). I have done exactly what the response has said. I have called the support # in rl ( 1-800-2941067 ). If you can help please please please and thankyou. greenly Smythe:):) I have a valid paypal account and have already used it to pay rent on a plot in the GREEN, but I can't buy lindens for my avatar.

I would really try and keep nagging support.

In the mean time, you could try buying your L$ from a trusted third party exchange (please always make sure that you're dealing with a legitimate site, don't just go ahead with something you find or someone random tells you about - which includes me I guess :p).

http://www.slexchange.com/ is a reputable one, and the exchange rate shouldn't really be that different from what you'd get on the official LindeX.

A third party exchange will be somewhat more clumsy, but at least you'll have some L$ to spend :). If your PayPal doesn't work with SLex either you may have to deal with PayPal rather than LL since the problem would be on their end then.
