They refuse to validate the account, even though I followed their instructions and sent them all the information they requested by fax. As far as I can tell, the reason they haven't validated the account is that they are too stupid to understand how anything outside Omaha actually works, and they are unwilling to learn. > That said, I just had an "international" customer > (in Australia) not be able to use it to send me > money until he got the "numbers" off his credit > card statement <frown>; ... Yes. That is my situation also. The problem is that the "numbers" PayPal uses are non-standard information that is not necessarily carried in transactions passed to foreign banks (store numbers, specifically--they are stripped when transactions reach my account). Explaining this to them seems to have no effect. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
