Is there a complete listing of all fees associated with using SL, for example the ones I'm aware of besides the land use fees:

- Upload texture, script, etc. - L$10
- Create new group - L$100

There are also fees to transfer land owners, etc.

That’s classified as supper secret-secret and the compiling of such a list without prior written approval by Linden Labs is punishable by permanent crossy eyedness. :D

if you terraform the land yourself there is no fee

taking pics and uploading pics/sounds/animations to sl cost 10L each

listing your land under places is 30L
classifides are 50L and up each you set the price

i think thats about all but there may be some im unaware of

Listing your land for sale there is NO FEE and it will show up in the search 'land for sale' automaticly, no need to place a classified ad.

Not for land in general. Only for transferring ownership of a private sim. There is no charge from Linden Lab for either party involved in a tranhsfer of one land parcel to another. Transferring ownership of a whole sim involves more administrative work, as sim owners can do things and have rights that normal land owners lack. SO I believe there is a one-time $250 USD fee to transfer ownership of a sim.

There is a monthly fee (land tier) to own and maintain land on the mainland. That goes directly to Linden Lab.

There is a similar monthly fee charged by Linden Lab to private sim owners (either $295 USD or $195 USD, depending on the age and server class of the sim), which they must pass on to land owners in their sim as a monthly land fee similar to LL's tier fees.

Linden Lab also charges a percentage of the transaction when you buy or sell Lindens on Lindex. They also charge a processing fee to transfer money out of SL to PayPal, or to cut a bank check or bank transfer to get funds out of SL.

It used to be (nudge nudge, wink wink) free if you delisted late Monday night and relisted 24 hours later because they only checked that option was flagged at the point of billing (always a Tuesday). you'd have to be seriously tight to do that though. does that loophole still exist I wonder? it must be over a year when i discovered that. (first land and all, back then I tended to play with the land properties just for the hell of it)
