I've finally understood why I can't convert enough RL cash to Lindens, after reading an answer here - IMHO the "time before you can buy more Lindens" isn't hilighted well enough on the Lindex pages.
However, my question is rather weightier: in the next couple of weeks, understandably, the land auction market will be in turmoil as pricing for islands changes. This means that a number of opportunities (to make or lose money, depending on how foolish they are) are automatically denied to noobs like me, who can't get round the 45 day cash-injection limits.
and of course, the more interesting plots (failed businesses!) are all priced way, way above the ceiling for n00b currency conversion. I don't especially want to buy some windswept atoll way out in the boonies, and I have RL business prospects asking me what's occurring...
So what's the solution? How can solvent noobs (unable to use PayPal because we're not in the US) get into the land market?
