When I hit the subscribe button yesterday, it gave the choice of paying directly with credit card or via Paypal. I could have signed up via credit card, but I’ve already got my credit card set up with paypal, so I figured I would save a few keystrokes and sign up with paypal.
Well, here it is 14 hours later and I’m still a Guest. Is this just the result of expected delays with paypal? If so, others may want to use paypal only as a last resort if they cannot use their credit cards directly.
It’s no big deal, really, as I’m assuming some time in the next few days the transaction will go through, just a minor annoyance.
I’ve noticed that we’ve received about 10 PayPal eCheck transactions which are not instantaneous. These transactions are in some sort of pending state until the funds clear which can take up to four days. I’m not sure what is going to happen when the funds do in fact clear. It may just automatically upgrade these users to Charter Member. It may not and we’ll have to do something manually. If you paid via PayPal eCheck or some other type of unusual PayPal method and you’re still a Guest please post here and we’ll keep a watch on the status of your transaction.
