I joined Second Life yesterday, but on that same day I requested to cancel the account as I was not happy with the avatar I chose. I want to make another account as soon as possible, but I am uneasy because my details, including credit card details, from the cancelled account are still on hold. Is it possible, and more importantly safe and secure, to create another account now, using the same card? Or should I wait until the 60-day 'on hold' period is up?

In your inventory "Library" there should be all the other avatar shapes and clothing in there.
So if you chose avatar B from the list at signup, Avatar Cs shapes and clothing can be found in your Library folder, just wear them. That way you dont need to make a whole new account.

Ah, I see. But I want a new name as well, that's the thing. And I assume I can't change the name on this account. Which brings me back to my original question. Thankyou for your help, though.  |

I'm not sure about the direct answer to your question, but you could always create an alt - you'd just have to pay $10USD. Ok, there are ways to create free alts, but I'm not going to advertise those here.  But that's an option, anyways... MM

From: Jesseaitui Petion Ah okay, im sure someone will come in an answer; i dont recall my main account ever having the CC info on "hold" for a 60 day period. Well, the info is definitely still showing up on my account summary, which must mean the details are still on file... I suppose one answer would be to make a new account and simply don't enter the payment details up-front, but that would mean I'd lose out on the L$250... |

Log in once to activate, and then log out. Now log in with the old account, look up the new one in Find, and pay all your L$ to the new one. Log out with the old one, and leave it be. From this point on, just keep logging in with the new one, and when you're ready, apply your payment info to it. You won't get a new L$250 this way, but you will get to use the original L$250 from the old account in your new account.
