WOW. I just experienced the same thing almost, but here is my problem. I open a billmelater account under my secondary email address. When I did it ask me to create a paypal account (which I already had with my primary account). Once created everything was cool, I used billmelater to purchase something for 100 bucks, just to see how this all works. When I found out it was easy to use I was going to purchase something for my motorcycle which was close to 1,000.00 bucks. So I had the seller invoice me to my new and improve paypal account. When I went to pay, paypal complained because I did not have a Credit Card on file. I tried to add but noticed when the account was created from Ebay check and billmelater approval my name and address was not populated into the new paypal account. With that said you can't modify your paypal account without faxing ID to cust support. When I did I got this! Dear user, We are unable to update your name on your Paypal account. Please close the current account and create a new account with a full details required such as name, address, date of birth, SSN. Please call PayPal Customer Service at Login, Click "Contact Us", Click "Call Us" stating the reason for this request (marriage, divorce, etc). Also, indicate how your name should appear on your PayPal account. Sincerely, Mohd Syakif Mirza PayPal Compliance Department PayPal, an eBay Company © 2011 PayPal Inc. All rights reserved. PayPal is located at 2211 N. First St., San Jose, CA 95131. So like a dumb A$$, I closed the new account then opened a new one. But here is the catch once you close the account billmelater is attached to. You can no longer attach to another paypal account. This is what billmelater rep said and to top it off I was on the phone bouncing around between paypal and billmelater, like they were two different companies. Man the parent company really needs to take hold of it's e-realties. I like how the gal from billmelater tells me "There's really nothing else you can do, once the billmelater account is unlinked from paypal you can no longer use paypal with billmelater. Live with it!" I was laughing deep inside, since I work for a utility company. Imagine if I were to tell someone on the other end of the phone line LIVE WITH IT, they would quickly lawyer up. So now I am stuck with a billmelater account which I'll never use because I use paypal all the time. I can't imagine why your DataBase admin can't just clear the flags (ex update * from account_table where paypal_account="no longer exists" set flag to "clear";). I guess your DB's are not sync'd up. I can tell you this much working for the number one wedding website (clicks well over 1 million a day) for several years, you all are going to loose business and when that happens you loose your jobs! I really hope you all get your act together because it **bleep** to have no job right now! If you all need help with designing getting things snyc'd up and a better workflow ping me, I can do side jobs remotely.
