Hi Jianghui,
the never-ending story ...
I made a new attempt to register and pay my few this morning but got
again a message that there's a problem with my credit card and I should
check with my bank.
I'm not sure whether I'm the only person experiencing trouble, but I
know that my credit card works fine on other occasions. A such I can
only conclude that the transmission of data to PayPal and/or the
accounting through PayPal does not work as it should.
Please advise,
Oliver
