Re: Cathy O'Connor of paypal?

Nigel,
That is incorrect.
The people, i. e.  the individuals from customer service who simply told 
me that they can do nothing, cannot reach her, and have no ties to 
technical support would be the only people.
Unless  that refers  to  the member here who  wrote with paypal staff  in 
bcc mode.
In any case, no one has engaged directly with me at all.
Granted they might be using the paypal message center..which can only be 
reached if one can effortlessly login in the first place.  Oh and can read 
dynamic code since the messages appear to be blank.
Nigel, since you are present there,  would you be willing to post on my 
behalf?
If so, drop me a private note please?
Your providing  an avenue for me would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
Kare
