Newbie Needs Help/Advice with 'Monthly Trading Limits'

Hi all..
I'm hoping someone might be able to help de-confuse my head, over the 'monthly trading limits'.

I'm now a few months old, but the first time I bought/spent L$ was 13 days ago (my computer was having nothing to do with SL, before I upgraded RAM, hence I went so long without spending!).
I have a 'basic' account.

Today, I tried to buy some land from a private seller. But when I click to "buy land", I get the following message:
"There has been an error while fetching land buying information. Currency purchase would exceed limits: This transaction would exceed your monthly trading limit by US$**.**. Your monthly trading limit is US$50."


I've looked on the 'LindeX: Billing & Trading Limits' section of the website ( https://secure-web12.secondlife.com/currency/describe-limits.php ). But to be honest, it's confused my poor brain.

It says:
"'Days' in the New Resident limits description refers to days since first billing transaction with Linden Lab."
I assume this means the number of days since I first bought/spent L$?

Because it's only 13 days since I first bought/spent L$, does that mean I'm just too new to be spending over L$50 in one month?
If that's the case, will my limit go up on day 14 (which would be tomorrow)?.. so I should be able to buy the land?


I apologise if these are silly newbie questions, but I'm a little confused about it.. and I'd really like to buy the land I've seen!

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

The day you bought L$ is the day the clock started ticking for your trading limits .

If you look back to the page you quoted, your current trading level is the column with a blue-ish background. The good news is that the 14-27 day category has a buy limit of $150 US so that should be more than enough for you to buy your land.

Just wait one more day .

(Edited to add that https://secondlife.com/currency/buy.php will tell you how much you have remaining in your trading limit. If you already bought $50 worth of L$, then tomorrow - or the day after that maybe, not sure - you should be able to buy an additional $100 worth, or about L$26k at market buy prices)

Ahh thanks so much, Kitty
That's what I'd hoped the case would be!

I have the same sort of message but in my case it talks about *daily* trading limits. I don't understand this at all.

hey on a side note, will you be automactically upgraded to resident level 1, 2 and so on after you passed the 27 day "new resident" limit or will simply stay within the 14 to 27 Days marK? (i.e need to request from LL a review to go further)

All so worth a try is to go to the buy page and buy from that befor you buy the land rather than try to buy from inworld .

Im told that works better atm than actualy buying via th $L sign

I don''t know what the current limits are, but you can totally get around them by using slexchange.com
