To embellish on this... (because the OP may not use marketplace, she may go through someone else who does VIP upgrades)..
If you use Market Place to VIP yourself, then go ahead and sell enough rays to put 20.00 USD in your Market Place account. Let it sit there until your UVIP session runs out. Once you turn basic again, then upgrade yourself using Market Place and choose REGULAR VIP.
Note: If you are downgrading from UVIP to regular VIP, you HAVE to let your account turn basic. If you don't then do an upgrade, then you'll be charged for UVIP again. Even if you only pay for a regular VIP upgrade, your UVIP will be extended for about 20-21 days.
When you are a basic member, you can not sell rays to the Market Place, but you CAN withdraw funds from your Market Place account.. so make sure you cover yourself by having the funds already in the account and ready for withdrawal.
If you pay someone else to upgrade you and they use Market Place, then you should do one of the following:
1--if you TRUST them with your money, go ahead and prepay them to upgrade you to regular VIP..best time to do that would be a couple of days before your current UVIP session runs out..
or..
2--if you DON'T trust them, then give a TRUSTED friend enough rays to upgrade you so when the time comes, THEY can pay the upgrade person for your regular VIP.
Either way...make sure SOMEBODY has the rays to pay for your upgrade (if you are not doing it yourself through Money Market), because the majority of those who do VIP upgrades will not do it on credit. You have to pay in advance..and as we all know, basic members can't send rays.
I hope this helps!
