Ok, I'm not usually one to moan about stuff like this, but if I still had my previous home I would have been kicked out of it today due to the fact that I can not purchase any moneys in world or using the website because of the problem they are having with paypal. I don't own a credit card or I would have bought some using that long ago.

LL need to realise that they need to stop doing things like voice, which nobody seems to like anyway, and get on with resolving the problems they are having at the moment with paypal. It's been a good three days now that I have been unable to purchase any and I am going to need some soon to pay for rent on my new home.

Does anyone else think this should be sorted soon or is it just me being all stressy with my pmt? xD

(And yes I know the problem was mentioned in the blog I just wanted to rant is all =P)

There is a SL CC (Credit Card) being launched soon, that allows you to purchase credit on the ingame card, or use it as a tranditional CC whereby you borrow the money now and pay back later. Some may find that useful. Might at least 'buy' you time?

Yeah but WHEN is it being launched? I dont have long till I have to pay my rent on this new place and being unable to purchase moneys isnt helping my case. Luckily I rent from my SL father so he may be that lil bit more leniant(Cant spell) for me.

There are third parties you can buy lindens from like SL Exchange.

There is a big difference between e-bay and SL Exchange which is a legitimate place to do SL purchases.

From the SL Blog page:

[Update] In-world Lindex purchases

UPDATE:
We have reenabled Linden transactions from within the viewer.
However, PayPal is having issues processing LindeX transactions from the web. We are working with PayPal to resolve the issue.
Also, LindeX transactions using credit cards are slow, but the transactions should complete. If it doesn’t complete for some reason, please retry.
We apologize

SLexchange is usually a great place to buy lindens from but at the moment it is highly in favour of sellers due to the lindex being broken and the demand at slexchange increasing because of this.
