WordPress replied to my other email that this won’t be shut down. I checked the site FAQ’s and it said that i just won’t be able to upload music and videos . Okay. I’ll just do what i can to solve it (the PayPal getting thru).

WordPress replied to my email in a matter of four hours. It sounded like a person and not a machine. They said they checked; and the request from PayPal that i made, and that was getting through, was for the right amount (it means i am not making any dumb mistake in filling up a form, it’s not me!), and that it wasn’t them but either PayPal or the bank. [But my bank here said what was getting through was one dollar in their records as PayPal default, and it was either the merchant (WordPress) or PayPal.] Sus Ginoo. Anyway, WordPress said i could get in touch with PayPal (i’d already done that) or use another card. Just between the two of us, i think it should be WordPress that should be getting in touch with PayPal because they have a contractual relationship with PayPal and they might want to find out why someone who wants to pay them is not able to get through to PayPal but i guess it isn’t worth their time unless they’re losing lots. Anyway, that’s so we could rule out BOTH PayPal and WordPress, and i could file a complaint against the bank. I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe another card. (then later file a complaint after solving this.) it’s just an initiatory pleading, why shouldn’t i? I just need to complete the electronic trail, for my file. i know i’m being petty, i’m glancing at the TV at some infants being abused; i just need to solve this, okay, can’t leave puzzles. just a little while more. hwag na kayo galit.

Quote “Hi there,
Quote “I checked and it looks like Paypal requests the normal $20 payment, not $1. You can rule out WordPress.com as the source of this problem. It’s either Paypal or your bank. Do you have another credit card? Perhaps a friend would pay with their card?
Quote “You could also contact Paypal and ask about the transaction, but I don’t know how long they will take to deal with your query unfortunately.
