Warning to those upgrading Flickr accounts to Pro
InternetYesterday I updloaded hundreds of vacation pictures to Flickr so I could blog them and share them with my family and friends. I ended up surpassing my free-service limits of 200 photos. Considering the relatively cheap service of $24.xx/year, I decided it would be worth upgrading to a pro account so that could remove the limits. I went through the process and selected PayPal. The payment process went smoothly and I got my receipt from PayPal. You would think that would be the end of the story.... but... no.
Apparently Flickr has elected to use eChecks as their method of PayPal payment. Flickr, while acknowledging my PayPal transaction in my account information area, will not remove the limits until the eCheck is received from PayPal which they say is 3-8 business days. So almost 2 weeks for what should be an instant process? How is that acceptable? If they had put some warninig on there about this I would have chosen another method, but they opted not to disclose it. At this point I am just hoping that it is actually no more time than 3-8 business days. From some of the complaints in the forums, some people just never seem to get upgraded.
If you ever decide to upgrade your Flickr account, consider yourself warned.
Well, let's see who gets access first.
