Paid Account Mishap

[calliopes_pen]

I opened a support request and asked about whether or not my payment (via check) for the x_meggan paid account (for a year, with extra icons) ever actually arrived, as it had been a month and a day since I sent the check as of today. Apparently, it didn't, which explains that.

Their mailing address hasn't changed and not been updated on the payment page, has it? All I know is the envelope never arrives when I pay for something, and it's never cashed either. It's bizarre.

That happened at least two other times with LJ--I once sent a payment for Insanejournal on the same day, and that got to that place fine, so I don't know what's going on.

Ah, well. I just won't buy anything from LJ anymore.

I respect that you found a method you like. Here's my take.

I remember well one day I took my stack of bills, mailed them from the office and they were lost in the mail. Technically they weren't lost. I put them on a mail slot on the the 50th floor or so and they got stuck on the 23rd floor or so and never made it to the lobby until the post office came and personally cleared the jam because only the post office was allowed to.

I rewrote some, some got paid twice when the mail finally made it through, yadda, yadda. I was just out of college living paycheck to paycheck - it was ugly.

I consider companies without some form of electronic payment inferior because my goal is to never write a check again.

Paypal is pretty damn secure. I'm sure that folks have run into issues, but I haven't had a problem with them in the last ten years. Bonus they have a buyer guarantee that lets you file complaint and bt money back from bad e-bay sellers.
