How do I start shopping?

Here are the basic steps:

1. Go to marketplace.secondlife.com.
2. If you're not already logged in to secondlife.com, click Sign In in the upper-right and enter your Second Life name and password, then click the Login button.
3. Find something you'd like to buy.
   • You can navigate the marketplace to look for something you want in different ways: search, Categories, and Featured Items. Start clicking around and exploring — you can always get back to the front page by clicking the Home button in the upper-left.
   • Learn more about searching and browsing the Marketplace.
4. Click the item you'd like to buy to make the item's full page appear. Click Add to Cart or, if you are in a hurry, click Buy Now.
   • Add to Cart saves your purchase for later payment and delivery, so you can keep shopping for more items.
   • Buy Now will take you to the payout screen immediately
5. When you've finished adding items you'd like to buy, click the Cart button in the upper-right.

   

6. This takes you to your shopping cart. For each item, you can:
   • Choose to send it as a gift to another avatar (Send As Gift link below the name of the item)
   • Remove it from the cart (Remove From Cart link below the name of the item)
   • Adjust the quantity desired for the item (the Qty box to the right of the name)
7. Once you have all of the items in your cart edited, select whether you want to Pay with L$, Pay with Credit Card, or Check out with PayPal.
   • If you want to pay in Linden Dollars (L$) and don't have enough, click Buy L$ in the upper-right to visit the LindeX™ Exchange.
8. Click Checkout, and if applicable, enter payment info.
9. Click Place your order to confirm.
   • In a few hours, the item you bought will be delivered to your avatar inworld. When you see the delivery notification inworld, accept the item.
   • Many items come in boxes you need to open to use. Learn how to open a box here.
10. Click Continue shopping to get more cool stuff.
