Is anyone else having a problem getting their pay pal charged for their account?

My account is saying it's past due and I have over 50 bucks in my pay pal but every time I try to have my pay pal charged I am told

Is this happening to everyone? Just a few people? Or is it just me?

First, you're not in the minority but the majority, everyone using PayPal has been having problems for over a week and the problem has been acknowledged by Linden Labs.

As of this post the entire LindenX system nonoperational.

Time to investigate the options by third party vendors for buying Linden. Best of luck!

*waves* hey-ies Nike :p

Open a billing support ticket just in case to alert them to the problem and get an assurance that you won't end up suspended.

I know other people who haven't been able to get billed for over two months now, and since they alerted LL they're just still all active.

If you need some spending money or settle rent, please do give me a nudge :).

Hee it's a bit late for that... I'm already suspended! It's just a kick in the pants that it's because their billing is messed up and not because I don't have the cash for it.

On the up side I have plenty of lindens to pay rent, the downside is that I can't log in to do so!

LOL I even had the brilliant plan of selling lindens to get the cash to pay my fee but umm... well yeah.

Hosed? Check!

Double Hosed? Check Check!

Tripple Hosed? We have a hat trick!

*hugs* :(

Did you open a support ticket though? Today would be the best day to put one in before the usual update mania sets in and then it'll be next week before someone even looks at it :(.
