Meteors, global warming, East/West silliness, pets being stolen, and now EBay. I feel a deep depression coming on..... :crazy:

Thanks, but why would a UFO want to come to Earth? You'd think all that advanced intelligence would tell it to stay well away. Thank goodness for hobbies ;)

Which reminds me. Drones. Think I'll go and play near Gatwick. There are some nice, open spaces near there.

My problem with Pay-Pal is not related to e-bay it is trying to log on to my Pay-Pal account, It asks for me to verify my account and then it won't flash up a code on my phone which is supposed to verify the whole sorry muck about,
I need it to settle a generous job of work done for me by RAD and if anyone knows of a better (another) way of transferring money to the European mainland I would dump Pay-Pal in an instant.

That code is, as l remember, sent as a text message. Does PayPal have your current number? Just a thought.

This may be a temporary problem. Sometimes, despite entering the correct login, password and SMS code, PayPal claims that "There was a problem on their side - please try again later". It is definitely worth verifying that PayPal has your correct / current phone number.

If you want to try a different route - one of the alternatives to PayPal I know is "WISE" (former TransferWise). I didn't use it, but a friend of mine from Illinois liked it to me once.
You can try it here:

You also have Google Pay and a few others to choose from.
Good luck

A statement by BBC news this morning. In a nutshell, the buyer m :clap: ay still purchase using PayPal but they pay eBay, not the sellers account, and eBay then pay into the sellers bank account. EBay charge the seller more than PayPal for this service. Fallout to follow!

Not doing Gatwick as my drone battery won't charge....doh!
