Paypal Limitation
03.30.11 | Permalink |Service| Comments Off

I got a big surprised from Paypal, nothing to cheer about. Paypal sent me an email stating that they will limit my account until a proper verification is done. The verification is to submit a utility bill with my address and a code. The code will appear in my credit card statement when they charge a RM10 to it. I will make sure they reimburse my RM10.

Yeap, this is annoying because I have to pay for one of my Ebay stuff I just won. I quickly submitted the documents that they wanted. I don’t have any utility bill as all of it is under my husband. So I submitted my bank statement.

Next, they wanted more stuff. They wanted details of some of my photo ID, transactions and email proof. Wah Lau Weh….

I was in a happy mood, so I submitted it. They provided links for me to attach documents. There were 5 links. 2 of it gave up on me. A tip, never try to type details on their input box because it is only 1000 characters. I wrote everything in a txt document, convert it to pdf and attached it. By the way, they only take in pdf, jpg and other image formats. Don’t try sending in a Word file.

I made a call to their help desk and 2 of the links didn’t work. By the way, some of those transactions were payment for ads on my blog. The agent who answered my call didn’t know what that was and wanted to write to the ads company. It is really fine by me but I am not sure if the company will entertained them. What I was not happy with was the agent told me that if the companies delay in replying, the restoration will be delayed.

I escalated it to her manager. Her manager called me and told me what was wrong with my account. She told me that my account phone number was link to an inactive account. I suspect it was my hubby’s account so I just turn around to ask him. Yeap, it was. I told them, please write to my hubby. Ha! I said, they should not penalize me for my inactive hubby’s account.

Tip No2, try not to use home phone number but office number if you are having a direct line.

The manager was kind enough to restore back my account but I have to go through the pain. Better withdraw my money from there!

Beef Noodles

I love beef noodles. I missed Pho, Vietnamese beef noodles from San Jose. It is the best I tasted so far. I don’t know how they make the soup to be so tasty. It is best eaten on a cold day. The serving is humongous.

Near to Penang, the local beef noodles also very delicious. I found one along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, next to Ayamas which is superb. You have to try it. I will ask them to add more vegetables and beef tripe. Now I feel like having a bowl of this. ~~~

Elegant Boots

I need one of this english riding boots, isn’t it cool or what? I tried on a few when I was in US shopping in the shoes section. I quite like it but I didn’t buy because in my country, the weather is not suited for this long boots.

However, I got the ankle boots which is just as fashionable and elegance. I wear them to work because it covers my feet. In the place where I worked, you need that. I saw many ladies wearing shoes or heels that are not suited for the factory environment. In one incident, there was a lady who hurt her toes in the production area. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Do you know you can get new psp games online? I remembered I used to own a PSP, actually it was my husband. It was dreadful to go to the shop to select the games. It was so many and they didn’t categorize it. I went dizzy browsing through their catalog.

However with online, you can browse by category, search by keywords and read reviews about the game. At some site, you can even view a demo version of it. It makes online shopping more fun and hassle free.

Grey Anatomy

I love watching Grey Anatomy. I watch the series online. It is a medical drama which a number of intern doctors working their way up to become surgeons. Along the journey, there are many stories about love, humor, hate, trauma, shooting and emotions build up in the series.

I must say I didn’t like the lesbian plot in it. Anyway, it is the individual medical cases that I like. I learn some medical terms from watching the show too. Of cause, for some you get to see pretty nurses or doctors in their nursing scrubs.

I missed Izzie from the show and I wished she will return some day. And how can they break Lexie and Sloan apart. They are kind of cute together. I cannot wait for the next episode to be online.

I was home alone today because I am down with flu. I had a really busy week and I just wanted a rest. I took a long nap and woke up. I relax myself on my comfortable sofa and started playing angry birds. I always wanted to complete the 3 stars to see the final heart.

And I did it!

And this was done many months ago.

One more left to go….
