LFS - Ordered by PayPal, no key

Hello everyone I was apprehensive about ordering overseas online until I saw they accepted PayPal payments. Ours is hooked up to my mom's checking acocunt. I send the exact $19.15 they asked for (30 cent currency exchange fee) around 4pm today and havent gotten anything back. I thought it was supposed to be instantaneous....should I be worried? Thanks, Alex

While credit card payments are instantaneous, they need to manually do the PayPal payments. I'm sure they'll process it as soon as they notice that they've received it. :-) Also, you will not be receiving any keys in your e-mail until you request one under "racer checkpoint". Chris

24 hours later and still no key...should I email them? Thanks, Alex

And no payments received at the Racer's Checkpoint. Thanks, Alex "Chris Z." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IYu5b.262309$Oz4.69011@rwcrnsc54...

If so, logout of the website and then log back in. I believe this is required for it to show that you're S1 Licensed. If after doing this you still don't show as being Licensed, send a quick e-mail and I'm sure he'll take care of it. Chris

The whole LFS thing sure could be a lot easier... -Larry "Chris Z." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:F0N5b.168801$[email hidden]...

Yep, I guess things like this are normally handled by the publisher. You get a pretty box and a convenient way to buy it. I'm happy to make the compromise and cut out the middle man, but not everyone wants to do that, or is able to. As far as the paypal problem is concerned, a quick e-mail to the developers should sort the problem out rather more easily than would be possible if a publisher was involved ;-) Malc.

Nah, my mom is totally computer illiterate so she let me set up the PayPal account for her and me so that we can order stuff off Ebay and other places online. Thanks, Alex "Sting32" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f58f1b9$[email hidden]...

fyi... Paypal payments made with an "echeck" or check card can take 4-7 days to process waiting for the payment to clear. If this is the case with your payment, you might have to wait a few days. Payments coming from a credit card or directly from a bank account are made immediately. Patience. I'm sure the payment will complete soon. ok, ep "Alex Kihurani" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<5oM5b.5986$[email hidden]>... > 24 hours later and still no key...should I email them? > > Thanks, > Alex

That's right...I finally got an answer back from the LFS team and they said they have to wait for it to clear. No LFS this weekend, but I should have it for the week! Thanks, Alex "ElvisPresley2k" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
