After purchasing on mainland you pay a Monthly user fee/Tier to Linden Lab (LL).
Mainland tier is regulated by LL. It depends on sq.m owned, see SL website: ( link )
My lands ( mainland protected fast premium/elite beaches ):
On mainland you pay monthly tier directly to LL:
- US$ 15 for 2048 sq.m
- US$ 25 for 2x 2048
Etcetera according to LL’s mainland tier table on their website: ( link )
512 sq.m may however always be added as extra land tier free ( bonus ).
Some of my lands have optional small free zoning parcels for more prims.
Only if your 512 sq.m bonus is used, tier will be scaled up 1 level higher.
You pay tier to LL by creditcard automatically, or manually by Paypal, or…
You exchange L$ to US$. Via LindenX it will be deposited on your SL US$ account.
LL automatically cashes Tier from an SL US$ account with positive balance.
You can decide yourself how to pay tier, just LL doesn’t accept L$.

Advice:
On Private Islands ( estates ) tier is paid to the estate owner, not to LL.
She/he has bought the Island on LL’s landstore for US$ 1675 ( US$ 1000 since May 2008 ).
Estate owners pay US$ 295 montlhy tier to LL.
Keep in mind that this private person as an estate owner always keep all end control.
So, you never actually own a piece of land on Islands, but Rent it from the estate owner.
They are free to ask weekly or monthly tier/fee/rent.
On Mainland Tier is regulated by LL per sq.m and is directly paid to LL.
If Mainland Tier is not paid to LL in time, they send an e-mail for delayed payment.
If still not paid your account will be suspended untill payment. You won’t loose the land immediately.
On Private Islands estate owners are free how to handle if tier/fee/rent is not paid in time.
Likely they will reclaim the land rather quick after allowing a week or two delay at the most.
