Not to say she trolled you la.
By default now it is AMEX+MC, no more VISA unless request.
Not sure if the request will be accepted.

Posted this on AMEX thread, thought of posting here to get more attention and help... I can't sleep tonight.

I tried purchasing my Flickr Pro account since it is expiring in 2 days time. I wanna utilise the weekend cash rebate and 5xTP, hence I used my AMEX.

After few attempts, it keeps showing error and the transaction didn't go through. So, I thought of calling Maybank CS to check on this matter. To my surprise, all 5 attempts have gone through and they have amounted up to RM 370!

The problem now is my account is not activated and I have not received any email from Yahoo! telling they have received my payment. When I used my CIMB DA last year to make such payment, it went through and completed only with 1 attempt. Immediately I received an email from Yahoo! billing saying they have received my payment and my account was activated right after that.

Maybank asked me to contact Yahoo! to check on this matter, I only can contact them via email which I have done so and I'm now waiting for their reply.

Anybody has such or similar experience before? I'm basically so helpless now. Will these be reversed eventually? I don't wish to end up paying for something I didn't get at all.

It is not browser problem, something coming from Yahoo!. The error is from Yahoo! Not because of my Firefox. It says something like there is problem with your payment....
According to Maybank, they are already charged to me.

*I'm basically shivering now.*

Yes, you are right. I was definitely being blinded by this, should have stopped but hell I'm stupid enough.
Let's pray hard.

I called CS again, yes they said I can raise a dispute and I'm not required to make any payment during investigation?
But anyway, I still have 2 weeks till my statement date. Hopefully my case can be solved by then.
The worst part is I don't have a number to call Yahoo!, everything needs to be communicated through email.

I admit my stupidity. Haiz.

Actually I sent it to Flickr email, I used to send them email once last time and it took 1 day for them to reply back.
Hopefully they are still as effective as they were back then.

*p/s: Flickr is under Yahoo! just for some people that are not aware

Nope, I have been checking non-stop...

Let me screenshot here:
I'm still getting this banner when I logged in:


Then I checked on my order history, I still see my account expiring and only one order which was last year's.

I didn't receive even one activation from Flickr.
It still shows my account is expiring.

No reply yet...

Now I don't want to extend it until Flickr people reply to my email, if all 5 gone through, then just reverse 4 and use up one quota for my extension.
Haha. Blogging not my style anymore. Anyway, most of the photography enthusiasts post up their photos at Flickr, more organised.

I basically can't sleep well this morning, why?

My Paypal account was registered with my PBB credit card which was already terminated earlier...
By the way, it is nothing to do with browser, it shows Yahoo! doesn't accept the transaction.

I filled up the card numbers and CVC.

Anyway, latest update: Yahoo! Customer Care has replied me at 3.02 p.m. and mentioned they are more than happy to assist me to get these charges reversed.

I was required to provide them more information which I have done so. Now waiting for second reply. God bless.

I actually used the front 4 digits.
Then it came out error, so I changed to the three digits.
Hence, after some trial and errors, pop 5 attempts!

Good news for my case.

"Based on the information you have stated, I was able to pull up your billing records and found that your transactions using your American Express card did not go through. You may see these as pending charges on your account. Rest assured that these amounts will not be processed nor will be collected and will eventually fall off your statement within seven to ten business days depending on your payment issuer."

I replied them to provide me final confirmation and I'll then send this email to Maybank. God bless me.

Now waiting for final confirmation from them, then I'll call Maybank to ask for help and need them to let me know how I should proceed from here to lift up all my charges.

I better use my CIMB DA to purchase the account. Terkejut me.

In their email, they also mentioned this:
"On the other hand, there was a problem processing your AMEX card as your credit card issuer does not participate in the address verification system (AVS)."

What does it mean? Can I use my M2GC VISA to buy? Or better use CIMB DA since I used it last year and had no issues with it.

I see but CIMB DA is a non-US card too.

You are one funny guy, LYN Staff is nothing OK? We are normal humans. If everything needs to be Googled and can be found on Google, then what's the point of having this thread? I might as well close this thread.

Nah, chill.
I'm OK one la.
Don't worry.

Eh, please la. I'm quite a friendly person if you know me well.
I don't issue that many of warning.

Back to the topic, got a confirmation email again from Yahoo!
Called to Maybank CS today and the guy has advised me to send an email to AMEX Maybank. I'm now waiting for their reply, I don't foresee much issues with it.

Actually I'm still quite new to Paypal, in this case I shall read about it and proceed with registration using my AMEX. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's OK, I can extend the account anytime.
I actually plan to extend only when my case is solved with Maybank and Yahoo!
Thanks a lot guys, your inputs are most appreciated!

Hi guys, any of you guys link your AMEX card to PayPal? I tried doing yesterday's morning and until now I still haven't seen the code on my M2U to verify my account. Normal?

I called last night, wasn't ready on their side yet.
OK, then I shall wait until tomorrow. I'm still waiting to renew my Flickr Pro account using PayPal.
Gosh, for the sake of 5xTP.

Thanks for the information, I shall wait patiently then.
