How bloody complicated does something have to be. Verify account verify phone verify email, address, what I pissn expect to trade and filling out forms declaring I'm not a business. Jeesus christ - it takes a lot to wind me up but I emailed em too - no repsonse, and still awaiting confirmation email so i can log on again just to give them the password i already use to log on anyway. FFS!!!

They say the site is offline at the mo so hopefully I can regain some calm and get payments sorted / claimed later this aft and ship stuff out accordingly.

correction, its payapl that are pissing me off. Patience appreciated from those on here who bought stuff

Having bought and sold hundreds of times using Ebay and Paypal I've never had a problem with either type of transaction, or sending, receiving and transferring money.

I've been waiting 2 days for an email with this bloody code. Am told the service is sh*te since ebay took em over.

Deep breaths! deep breaths! Dont worry about the service kit for me, not in any major hurry for that!

My paypal emails correct. My ebay account emails correct and I've actually checked my listings now and the email is in fact correct as well, so god only knows why when peeps have been sending payments - they've all been going wrong (to email ending .ocm). I think it has something to do with me linking ebay and payapl recently and someone somewhere has not transfered the data correctly, either way I've just about lost the will to live now after wasting my lunch hour and another half hour on the phone to paypal (via pissin india) who couldn't advise me why ebay was f*in it up like this.

I asked to send payments using 'send payment' tab and leave bloody ebay out of the equation, and I'll mark as paid accordingly - except I can't figure out either why my balance in payapl has risen to a 144 yet only 3 transactions totalling 50 odd quid show up no matter what I transaction options I click on. I have the patience of a saint usually but I'm ready to strangle someone now.
