Step 1
The first and possibly the best way of buying second life linden dollars is to go onto the official second life lindeX website and buy them directly from the makers of second life. Seeing as you are buying directly from second life ,and no one is getting a middleman cut ,this is one of the best ways to buy them if you want a good deal. for the most part the exchange rate has hovered around 265 linden dollars for each US dollar. however this may not be the best way to buy them for safety reasons, as second life's databases have been hacked before and may not be that safe to have your credit card or paypal info on file.

Step 2
There are also a whole list of 3rd party websites that operate like second life's lindeX the exchange rate varies form better than the lindeX to a lot worse for example one very popular 3rd party site that figures in the top 10 results for "second life linden dollars" on Google offers them at 170 linden dollars for one US dollar. that means you are gritting riped off by almost 100 linden dollars per US dollar! I wont mention the exact website, but it just goes to show, always find out the amount of second life linden dollars you get for one us dollar and compare it to the LindeX before buying ,you could get riped off big if you aren't careful.

Step 3
If you don't have any credit/debit card or paypal account and you would like to still have some of second life's linden dollars never fear because friends are here. A lot of friends you meet on second life will sell you linden dollars in exchange for cash ,either in person or in the mail. If you do decide to go with this option ,make SURE you can trust your friend beforehand and never mail cash to someone who offers to sell you linden dollars via this method in the game that you haven't known before , as it is most likely a scam.

Step 4
Another way to buy linden dollars is in online auctions and by that i mean eBay. The great thing about eBay is that because of the feedback system ,it is easy to see if someone is a reputable seller or not. However ,just as in 3rd party sites there can be a lot of offers with a bad exchange rate and a few with a good exchange rate ,at or above that of the LindeX. This can also be a good way to go if you happen to have an eBay account but do not have your paypal or credit card on file with second life yet.
