Ready for a shopping spree? Second Life is filled with thousands of virtual stores where
you can shop ‘til you drop!
Each store sells unique virtual items designed and created by people like you. Shop for fashions,
houses, cars -- even an entirely new avatar!
Just like the real world, you’ll need currency in order to buy items.
In Second Life, the unit of trade is called a “Linden Dollar.”
An easy way is to go to the Second Life Marketplace, sign in and then click the “Buy Linden Dollar”
link at the top of the page.
Or, if you prefer, within Second Life you can use the “Buy Linden Dollar” button
at the top of the Viewer.
Enter in the amount of Linden Dollars you wish to purchase.
To find out much “real money” you will be spending, your purchase price will be calculated
using current exchange rates and displayed in U.S. dollars below.
Click Buy Now and then confirm your purchase.
If you do not have any active billing information on file, you’ll be directed to a secure
Second Life website to set up your account for Linden Dollar purchases.
You can always purchase Linden Dollars directly from the secure Secondlife.com website.
Log in to your account and look for the Buy Linden Dollars link to start your transaction.
Once you have Linden Dollars, you’ll be able to start shopping!
To buy an item, it’s as simple as clicking or right-clicking on an item and selecting
Buy.
You can also shop on the web at the Second Life Marketplace.
That’s it! Enjoy your new item and have fun in Second Life.
