So fucking annoying - I went to order Shoe Goo from a skate shop online [they all seem to carry it, but this one accepted Paypal, to my joy], and after I placed the order and went to pay, I discoevered that they will NOT accept my payment because I don't have a "confirmed" address.
To get a confirmed address, you have to list a credit card.
I don't have a credit card. That's the point of having Paypal.

I emailed them to ask for further advice and they were nice enough, but what it comes down to is: no credit card, no confirmed address, no shoe goo via Paypal.

If you're going to accept Paypal, it would be nice to state RIGHT UP FRONT that you will only accept confirmed addresses. I mean, hello! If I had a credit card I'd probably just have gone ahead and used it to place my order!

Poop.

account tho).

Rock.

I only have a 6 in my buyer rep. I need four more and I'm good to go.

Thanks for that tidbit of info! I guess this means I need to start some more buying and selling ;)

Shoe Goo?

I'm not sure why you want it, but you can buy Shoe Goo from the shoe repair store in Seminole Square (or at least I have done so in the past). Unless this is different from the Shoe Goo that I'm thinking of (which is basically glue).
