So I have paid the directory inclusion fee (299) and it has been over 8 days? I wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem?
there is not a problem yet, they will respond to you within 7 business days, so 8 days may not over deadline .
You need to contact them in order to see what the problem is... BTW, they count 7 Business Days to check your website, are you counting holidays too?
