just to see how far their silly game goes, i applied for paypals pre-pay visa card, it arrived, i've registered it as my credit card, and was able to bid on an item. i can bid again.
the fun bit being that you can apply for a pre-pay card at 16 which makes a mockery of their reasoning that it's needed to prove you are 18. i think it's a scam of some sort... i've loaded £10 on it, they took £4.95 for their 'fee', and i've got £5.05 left to buy whatever i want. i think i'll frame it and use it to buy the real excaliber when it's found, can't be more than that balance. ebay
anyhow, bidding on a weapon still brings up a confirmation screen, wonder if my sniper software will handle it.
