please make comments there with new information

Thanks for the updated info, I was not able to get to the safe harbor forum itself, it was already down. I got that the paypal info was there from a colleague of mine. I will look into it.

I am not sure how paypal info would not be available, as its a widely used payment method on ebay.

Riveting stuff never the less. Not exactly how I planned to start my day lol….
thanks again for the correction.
