I operate WHITE HAT SEO?SEM SERVICES ONLY. What is the malfunction?!?!?!?!! Not only that, it's a CLOSED THREAD. I am currently dealing closely with Paypal's LEGAL DEPT. to catch a DP member who's ripping people off, and the staff here is accusing me of offering SPAM IN A CAN SERVICES?!?!?! I should mail you some spam in a can Shawn, what's your favorite flavor? Or do you prefer that canned beef jerky, that stuff is better than SPAM IMO. I never liked spam in a can, or green eggs and ham. But could we maybe instruct the mods on English and the definition of spam, because online relationship building, SEO, white hat link building, and posting content to private networks I have rights to post to, is not SPAM. Sigh.
Looks like it was possibly the wrong infraction, but still was misplaced. Looks like a service to me, and should have been in the services section.
Oh yeah, it was probably in the root BST section, cause I was running around like a chicken with a severed head trying to make threads with the Instant pay option working. Still haven't totally figured it out, but I know it's not all done either. Thanks Shawn. I won't whine anymore. But seriously, chicken spam in a can or corned beef? There should be one of those "rate this support" type survey things for infractions, so you can leave a message to the mods. If you're dumb about it get another infraction, or if something like this we all learn more. Can I get a sticker for my forehead with a red 1 and a DP logo for my infraction so I can wear it around town until it expires? /end rant. Thanks for listening. P.S. Hey nice job on the new "best answer" feature I like that.
Admittedly the instant pay feature is *far* from perfect in it's current form. It's why I've been taking the time to completely rewrite it from scratch so it works better with non-actions, things you can sell multiple times, support feedback from people, etc. It was primarily for auctions and things you can only sell once... not really ideal for services (things you can sell multiple times or with variable amounts). But like I said, it IS being worked on... and taking my time so it's done well rather than fast.
