Here is an slightly amusing true story.
This morning I saw a lambda athena available on the bst, figured I'd use my exemption. The immediate problem was that I did not have a Paypal account. So I immediately set one up and linked a credit card with plenty of balance. I then tried to send the funds to make the purchase. No go, PP said there was a problem. No specifics, just a suggestion to call the the bank that issued the card.
I did, the bank said there was no problem on their end, in fact they did not even see an attempt use the card from the PP end. Next I called PP. The friendly customer support person could see the failed attempts. His guess was that the problem was that I had no bank account linked to the new PP account. I started to link a bank account but totally balked at the requirement to provide the account password. Not in this life, no sir.
So I gave up. I let the seller know that (sadly) I had to withdraw my offer. Next I deleted my brand new and quite useless PP account. A bit later I checked my credit card account I saw a pending $1.95 charge from PP. Then the light bulb went of. I suspect that charge was a test of the credit card, and that establishing a new PP account with a linked credit card simply takes a few hours, maybe a day or two.
Moral of the story? Dunno. I wasted my time, and the seller's. I suppose I could open yet another PP account, so to be ready for next time. But the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth. Uggh.
You could always try to trade?PayPal is terrible. The biggest reason I don't blow the GRUME/GRUYEREs is that I'll never use them, but it also means I have some lovely razors and soaps sitting around, that I don't need/want/like, but will not find a good home.
That is exactly what happened, they need to make this trial charge before clearing the account for use. That charge is later canceled if I am not mistakenHere is an slightly amusing true story.

The charge was later cancelled. Surprisingly Paypal tech support did not mention this as a possible reason for the problem. I could tell from talking to the tech that the system was not giving him much to go on.That is exactly what happened, they need to make this trial charge before clearing the account for use.

I fell prey to the illusion that everything mediated by electronic digital systems happens near instantaneously.
Even the programmers behind that software barely understand all the edge cases.
Thank you kindly.I see we didn’t add you because I thought we still had a question open (but that was my mistake to assume that). It is easily remedied however!
65) @tropic - exception: razor
Would love to, but since my wants are rather narrow and my possessions few, I'm skeptical I'll find a suitable and amenable partner. Is there anyone out there who would want to relinquish their Ti-Bird for a Leaf, a Thorn, and a Henson? I'm dubious.You could always try to trade?
Mine has arrived, too (the stand). Here’s the united setup.My "exception" came in the mail today. Scott allowed me to prepay in December for the January release of The Admiral, so, it wasn't technically an exception.
Hi,First I beheld Tabarko, and now I encounter Col. Williams. Wonders never cease.
If I recall correctly Doug @SgtCrppls did that on his bowl. That one was a looker for sure. There is a side effect in that you polish away the protective coating it has.I've considered to polish my standard copper CC bowl
