5. I just purchased a Team Savage membership through PayPal but I still don't have full access to the member classifieds.
PayPal uses two types of payments (echeck and instant) depending on the account the funds are being drawn from and whether or not your have verified your bank accounts with them. If your account is unverified and the funds are being pulled from a checking or savings accounts, they will be sent in the form of an echeck and will take 3-5 days to clear with PayPal and your membership will not be activated until those funds clear. Funds sent from credit cards, verified accounts, or if you have the funds in your PayPal Account already will be sent instantly and your account status here will generally be updated within a few minutes.

If you have purchased a membership via PayPal and your account hasn't been updated accordingly after 5 days please contact us using the "Contact Us" button in the bottom right corner of any page on the site. Be sure to include the following information in your email:

1. Your real name (or company/persons name that PayPal account is in if different)
2. Your forum username
3. Date payment was sent
4. PayPal Transaction Number

6. Reset my password, but the one supplied doesn't work. Now what?
Passwords are now case-sensitive with the new software. As such, you need to enter the new password exactly as it appears in the email otherwise it won't work. You will also need to keep this in mind when changing your password manually via your profile settings.


...more to come I'm sure.
