Hi,

I want to buy some sims and need for that US$ into my account.
What's the cheapast way to do that ?

From my European bank account a transfert to my PayPal. From Paypal into my SL account ?

I don't want to use my Visa card because you have to pay a commission (3% ?)

OR

Is it possible to do a bank transfert from my European account to SL UK ?

You can't put USD into your account like that. The "US balance" amount in your account information is what you get after selling L$ on the Lindex.

When you buy sims the money will come out of your US balance first and then whichever billing info you have. Credit/debit card is the easiest and cheapest, as paypal has a surcharge for currency conversion - 2.9% I believe.

Yes you can. Go to your account page, click on the link Increase Your Credit, and transfer US$ from paypal, credit card or debit card to your US$ account balance.
