i did go online last night but i spent the better half of the entire time fiddling around with Paypal and BidPay so i could pay for some items I bidded for and won on Ebay. I have decided of the two – Bidpay is somewhat easier to start the whole payment process. I dont know if its the same for US people – but as an international user i had to do this whole confirm the credit card thing and they charge a dollar to your credit card (which they then refund when you do confirm it) but then you have to wait till you get a credit card statement with this little code on there. the first time i did it it didnt work, and the second time i hate to wait 5 days before it showed up on my online statement. GRR!

but anyways – its sorted now and i can stick to looking for auctions that accept Paypal or Bidpay as way of payment instead of the hassle of international money orders, or the scariness of giving people your credit card details.

so yay.
