I also tried to change my name to my new (and paid for) name but it told me it belonged to someone else. When do you think we get to use them?

littlelapinWearsBoden · 23/05/2007 09:07

It won't let me pay the right amount...

Oh dear, seems there are some glitches. Tech was up quite late setting up - but as soon as he surfaces we'll point him in this direction.

Ithought there'd probably be a bit of a delay til they send you the confirmation email etc before you can use them maybe?

Hi Littlelapin,

If you try again it should be OK. It was pricing them all at 5 pounds stupidly.

We are manually processing the payment receipts to release the nicknames, so you should start getting emails saying the name is yours over the next couple of hours.

Squonk, your thing was the 5 pound fixed price. If you make a manual paypal payment for the difference, that would be great.

Regards,
Tech

Well done - you got him up!

MrMariellaStillWaitsForPan · 23/05/2007 09:12

thank you Justine.

fryalot · 23/05/2007 09:13

tech - I don't have an email address to send the difference manually.

It wants me to pay the full £7 now. and I can't figure out how NOT to, iykwim

sorry, am not very techy

fryalot · 23/05/2007 09:14

Pan - I was going to shake the shed, so pebbles at the window was very restrained

Hi Squonk,
I've repriced the one you already paid for to zero, so if you go back to the payment page now it should show a total to pay of 2 pounds, so if you click the button again it should ask for just the 2

Sorry for the mess up.

Cheers,
Tedch

MrMariellaStillWaitsForPan · 23/05/2007 09:17

can't call me Pan...apparently he belongs to someone else......

fryalot · 23/05/2007 09:19

pan (sorry, MrMariellaWaitsForPanNoMoreExceptHeIsStillWaitingActually) sorry, won't call you Pan until you are he

MrMariellaStillWaitsForPan · 23/05/2007 09:21

littlelapinWearsBoden · 23/05/2007 09:25

Tech, I've already paid a fiver for one, but now it is asking me to pay for it again...

Tech · 23/05/2007 09:36

Hi Littlelapin,
If you go back now it should show just the remaining 6.

Cheers,
Tech

littlelapinWearsBoden · 23/05/2007 09:56

Cool, thanks Tech, all done.

Now, can someone please explain to me WHY I bid £6 for "crackwhore" ???

BocoWearsaTabard · 23/05/2007 09:59

CrackwhoreWearsBoden has a certain charm?

littlelapinWearsBoden · 23/05/2007 10:06

ooh no, I think CrackWhoreWearsChanel

daisybump · 23/05/2007 10:27

What about me?????

Tech · 23/05/2007 10:29

The notifications are going out now so once you have the email you should be able to start using the name. NOTE THAT you will still need to go into your registration page and change the nickname there.

Regards,
Tech

daisybump · 23/05/2007 10:38

but I'm not on the list as having won the names I bid on...so no link to pay...and no-one else appears to have won them either?

Tech · 23/05/2007 10:39

daisybump · 23/05/2007 10:42
