    I sent a payment for $42.50 earlier and was just checking my email and here is the confirmation of payment email I got from paypal:

    What's worse, it took 3 attempts to log into paypal, I thought they shut down my account, but it seems the just have a formatting issue with their emails.

    All seems fine now.

    Thats due to email formatting. Happens sometimes when you receive a payment during maintainence.

    What would stress you out unless you could cover that amount? Did you have that much in your account?

    I have enough in my bank account and if I make a payment and don't have enough in paypal they take it from my bank account.
