Ebay Blues... PayPal woes... and that's just the start!

It's been a few weeks since my last entry. Thank the lawd I've calmed down.
Things have been a little busy and also a little on shitty too. I've just lost my website (boohooo) due to a parcel going missing (more than likely stolen) to an Ebayer. Long story short...

Put up an item for sale.
It sold.
Got the payment.
Sent the item.
Buyer contacted me explaining that it hadn't yet arrived.
Told the buyer to be patient as it has happened before and the goods do turn up.
Two weeks passed... nothing had arrived.
After a month I got a restriction slapped on me after the buyer put in a dispute claim.
Explained that I had been offline for two weeks so it was impossible for me to have put up my side of the story.
So... due to PayPal restricting my in's and out's I sent them a cheque on the 7th Oct. They haven't cashed it to date. Could be due to the fact that they only accept the cheque payments in DOLLAR$ and not in STERLING. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Probably not as stupid as me though but I still think that the set up is absolute crap. Cheques are being phased out this year so what are they going to do then?
Moving on...
I recieved an email from Host Ultra (the place where my website *used* to be hosted) telling me that my payments have failed and they would try again. Now this whole event started on the 2nd September... it's now 31st October. I was told that they would try again in 15 days. Pheww.
After sending PayPal a few emails on why they cheque still hadn't been cashed I discovered that they only accept dollar cheques (*see "Stupid." ;)) so I quickly sent them a Postal Order. That was last Tuesday... a week has passed and yet again they seem to be dragging their heels.
Got an email last night "Your website has been Terminated". Great! It read:
"

This email is to inform you that your Host Ultra account has been
terminated for non payment.
All your files, databases and settings have already been permanantly
deleted from our servers.

----
Thanks again for hosting your site with us!"

Thanks a bunch... oh and I love that the last line "Thanks again for hosting your site with us!"

So... my webby has gone but hopefully when PayPal drag their lazy butts to their
postbox and cash my Postal order then it will be back!! Bigger and better too!!

Back later..
