OK, gotta share where I stuffed up massively today so I can get it of my chest and maybe save others similar pain...
so, my first run of 7 egay US auctions complete to the value of about $1400, 2nd bid offers to the tune of $1800 sent, cost to me for product =0. I go to log into paypal, having fired up the new dvd burner, to check the first payment went in - yep it's there - great. Decide to make a little purchase and the big exclamation mark appears - account on hold pending the submitting of a few more details please, like how about a copy of your utility bill. Well, fuck me if that aint so easy cause the friggin' account is 'supposedly' in India and ere I am Down Under! Furthermore it only just occurred to me after a really, long, shit day, that Gaypal and Egay are the same fuckin beast and so the COMPLETE and UTTER discrepency between my fictional Florida Egay account and my 'fictional' Indian Gaypal account would have stood out like fuckin DOGS BALLS!!!!!!! What the hell was I thinkin.....???? So now about 22 buyers are sittin there scratchin their heads wondering why they can't send me any money and where the hell did I disappear to? And am I goin anywhere but in the other direction as far away from that hot fraudulent fuckin potato as fast as my delete button can wipe accounts? no fckn way.
Moral of the story....if ya gonna bend the truth, keep the bend straight...
If anyone with more brains and/or experience would care to throw in their two cents worth as to method or technique for avoiding such calamities in the future, you know, I would really like that a lot....
Thanks crew, feel a bit better for sharing...
