To put this in relation to SL:
|
||
| US$ | 3DMee Credits | SL Lindens |
| 1 | 150 | 250 (approx) |
| 10 | 1500 | 2500 (approx) |
| 100 | 15,750 | 25,500 (approx) |
Although the number of credits received for 1 USD are less than you'd get in SL, your credits actually buy you more as all prices inworld reflect the 3DMee situation. This includes the cost of region renewal, purchasing goods, services etc
Even better, if you buy 100 USD worth of Credits, you actually get an even better rate and 75 more credits.
We have included a handy Currency Converter on the front page of the OracL website for you, to make things easier still if you are also converting another currency to US and want to see how much in your own currency you're outlaying. You'll also notice there that the current exchange rate is shown. This converter draws from Yahoo and the rate is in real time.
BUYING CREDITS
At the current time Credits can be purchased via Paypal or a credit card. Processing time is minimal, but there is a small delay of a few minutes.
CASHING OUT
To cash credits out of 3DMee you will have to become a Premium Member. This is a new facility to the grid and has a number of other benefits including a weekly stipend of 150C. As the service is further developed, there will be additional benefits to region and business owners - and your Premium membership will become more and more beneficial to you.
Premium Membership is a once a year payment of $99 USD.
The exchange of money via the internet is a complex legal situation and 3DX are ensuring they comply with all relevant laws before enabling this facility. Remember, 3DX is a Taiwanese company, and these things are not simple. So again, patience and forbearance are the order of the day.
There are a few region owners who offer a cash out service with payment to a PayPal account. To find one it's best to ask on the Forum
BUYING REGIONS
Purchase of regions is done through Paypal via the website. You can purchase regions in the name of any of the Avatars in your account, and they are all managed in the Hub on the website. For more on buying regions, see the article on Land in 3DMee - buying or renting.
BIG HINT: To pay using a credit card, you still need to go to the Paypal site, but there is a small hyperlink which allows you to pay using credit card without having to have a card linked to Paypal.
