Hi - I hope I posted this in the right place.

I have only been in SL for 17 days and I have a slight problem which I hope to find an answer to.

The problem is the $ limit that LL imposes upon new users to limit credit card fraud - I have reached that limit. But, a girl has needs, and so I would like to find a work around if possible.

I have already tried creating a second account so that I could give an in-game friend the L$s and she could then pay my other account in game. No luck here, (probably due to the CC limit again).

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy L$ on another exchange and have them transferred to my avatar; or will LL auto-ban this activity?

How I do love a company that refuses to take my money :P

Thanks,

Deu.

Hi Deunan,

You can certainly buy L$ on a different exchange system if you like. However, we impose those L$ restrictions on the LindeX because we need to prevent possible fraudulent use of the system (which ends up hurting everyone!).

Take care,

Yeah, that's a bad idea, creating alts in order to bypass the LindeX limits can result in having all of your accounts put on hold. I strongly recommend against doing that.

Cheers,
