Last week I posted about my problems with Paypal and Amazon, though in truth they could be chalked up to minor inconveniences. Which they proved themselves to be. I received the deposit from PayPal into my account about three days after I posted about not receiving it. I managed to confirm my account afterwards. I transferred $20.00 from my bank into PayPal, and at time of writing it's currently processing the transaction. It should be complete by July 12th. I received my credit card in the mail yesterday. Activated it, and purchased The Simpsons season 2 DVD box set. I chose super-saver shipping (meaning shipping is free) so I have to wait a couple extra business days for it to ship. It'll ship around July 9, and I can expect to receive it around July 12. Conveniently, that means both of my transactions will complete around that time. Though I realize I don't need to fund from my bank account to pay with PayPal. When that account receives the twenty dollars, I'm transferring it back to my checking account (which can take 6-8 business days to process). In short, my experiences with Amazon and PayPal have been more or less positive (That befits Amazon moreso, only because the latter takes so long to process payments).

Stay tuned.
