A while ago, I posted about my experience buying Lindens through the market buy option rather than direct buy.
But now I’m curious about something else.
I came across a blog post from Ciaran Laval about a new payment provider that LL has teamed up with called Skrill.
I’ve never heard of them.
According to Wikipedia, ‘Skrill is an e-commerce business that allows payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet, with a focus on low-cost international money transfers.’
I know that a lot of people use PayPal to buy Lindens, to pay tier, etc.
I know some people use credit cards (pre-paid or their own).
And, of course, bank accounts.
What is your preferred method of payment and why?
I use Paypal because I trust them and it’s easy.
I’ve not used PayPal. What makes PayPal better/easier than just paying directly from a bank account?
I use a dedicated credit card so I don’t lose track of what I spend, and if, god forbid, it get’s hacked, I’m insured against payment for those charges.
For SL I use a credit card that I use for online purchases, just like Winnie. I was an early adopter of online transactions/shopping although cautious. I do use Paypal on occasion but not for SL, usually for international transactions.
I’m lazy, so I’ve been shopping online for years, lol. I can’t stand crowds – I’d rather have something delivered. 😀
