If you could tell me how I could go about editing the thread title, I will. It certainly was not my intent, and I apologize if I did indirectly offend anyone. I'll be sure to be more considerate in the future.
As to wondering why I posted here instead of contacting Paypal, I figured there'd be a chance of someone else who would have had a similar experience, or certain knowledge in this field - This is an eBay subforum after all.
I also want to be as under the radar as possible where Paypal and eBay are concerned, so I prefer not to contact them about such matters. Thanks..
