Perhaps Castle will, though, take up the matter with HSBC as a flaky payment system is not conducive to sales efforts. Often threatening to take bank accounts elsewhere when such problems persist is the only way to get the Greedy Banks to sit up and take notice, as I know too well. And if HSBC take up the blame game ("it's not our fault, it's VISA" or whatever) it's a sure sign they have lost the Customer Service plot. These problems also demonstrate the need to provide phone back-up in case web sales get broken and I stand by my suggestion that Monday am is a far better time for such launches. -- Tim Hill, <URL:http://www.timil.com/> --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
