OK, finally managed to sell enough Linden's to cover my land fees this week, but nothing shows up in my account.

How do I see the balance of US$ credits in my account? I can't find that anywhere, and the money is not showing up as a transaction.

The buy and sell lindens page both display your L$ and US$ balances.

I think this needs to be on the transaction history page, too. Just a nice place to get a decent overview of your own doings on the exchange.

Am I missing something obvious? I just tested a small purchase of a few thousand L$, but haven't received them in-world. It's been about 5 minutes now. It shows in my balance on the website, but I didn't get the money in-game. How do I withdraw to my Avatar?

OK, we're going to leave the market up over night tonight so that everyone has a chance to access the market. I'll be keeping an eye on it, if all is well this will be our transition to being open 24 hours.

Cheers,
Lawrence

The ATMS I have seen are all resident created with just a simple URL Director script. :)

Hey all -- update. Thanks to Lawrence for letting me know about a known bug with balances not being updated in the SL Client. I paid myself L$1 and my balance instantly fixed itself. :)

Yep. I bet many are where people hosted GOM ATMs... like mine in Caldbeck... which happens to be copiable should anyone want one. :)

I removed GOM atms yesterday. In lack of anything official, i made a simple thing that just sends people to LindeX.

If you want a free copy, pick it up at SLBoutique: http://www.slboutique.com/index.php?&p=buy&itemid=21731

Lawrence, I'm having trouble with limits again, could you please check why it's telling me I've reached my 24 hour limit?

The limits seem not to be resetting correctly. I also ask, is it really 24 hours, or just per day?

Here's the link. In short: Please specify check or Paypal. For check, specify who to make a check out to and where to mail it. For Paypal, specify what email address to use.

Be sure to tell us how much US$ you're requesting and from which SL account you're requesting the US$. We'll send a confirmation email to the email address listed on your account.

We're working on getting the Paypal side of things automated this week.

Cheers,
Lawrence


Here is how.

Lawrence,
can't emails be spoofed? Wouldn't it be safer to have this done on the webpage where you are logged in?

There are probably people out there that have publicly-known emails for their accounts.


PS: i've lost track of this rather large thread. Did lawrence ever explain how you apply your account balance to your tier & premium fees?

I just checked and it's because it really does look like you're very near your limits... please see the PM I sent.

We're working on automating this... in the mean time the confirmation message will contain unique details that you have to return in your reply.

Just leave them in your US$ balance, the next time tier or premium fees are assesed your balance will be applied to them first before any other billing method is hit. So if your balance can fully cover the fees your credit card or paypal account won't get hit at all.

Lawrence

Rolling 24 hours. What limits are you hitting? can you PM me the message you're getting?

Volume graph wrong
10-04-2005 12:16
(oops) The volume graph shows cumulative volume, not daily volume.

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Another question!

If I bid and win a land auction for US$s, will (or could) this payment also have the US$ balance applied to it before my credit card?

(must not, not submit to the land auction bug any more....)

I disagree... cumulative volume is now L$2083785... the graph shows about L$1M for Monday, and about L$400K for Sunday, etc.

ok, well, stat board on upper right shows today's volume at 600,000, but volume chart is near 1,000,000. This appears to be roughly today + yesterday. So maybe it isn't cumulative since beginning of time, but it sure is more than just today. I don't think its 24 hours either.

Anyway, one would expect the volume graph and the stat board to agree.

Are there plans for more graphs and charts? I'm more of a visual person.

I was under the impression that if I had credit under my Second Life account, Lindex would draw from it rather than charging my account. I received US$50.31 from the developer incentives program earlier, so I meant to spend it on Lindex for L$. Instead, those credits weren't touched and my checking account was billed through my debit card. I would not have spent this money were it not for the credits I received through the incentives program. Why list credit on the account under Lindex if those credits have nothing to do with anything?
