Really crazy! This really worries me too, my own credit card expires in November. Hope I don't run into the same difficulty. This seems really unreasonable of Paypal to so this. Really crazy!

Paypal's answer to me is to get a new credit card number. I'm very bitter about how lazy they are about fixing their systems.

As for your penis shaped piece of candle wax... I hope you got a good price for it! @Daniel After a quick google I found http://www.bargainchecker.com/ is that the site you were talking about? Seems like a great way to get even better bargains from ebay. @Leon I’d no idea eBay was making the small guy pay more, seems unfair considering it was the individual sellers that brought in all their customers.

Seems they are more interested in facilitating the big name shops and are forgetting the people that made them. One thing they done to me was double the monthly fee for my eBay store without asking me if it was ok!? Still a handy system the odd time though. As for the weirdest thing I ever seen for sale? One of my own auctions, a genuine penis shaped piece of candle wax from a haunted Irish castle!
