It should only take 12-24 hours to verify once they have everything. I had to send them on a bunch of stuff last year when my website started taking in a decent amount.
I really wouldn't be sending that shirt until everything is nice and cleared with them!
That's reassuring!
Actually to give you a bit of a laugh, I've had that Paypal account since approx 2001. I was only 17 at the time, so set it up with my mam's name and credit card. When I got my own credit card a couple of years later, I switch it all over to my details.
Apart from one thing, the first name. They refuse to change it. I've tried over and over again many times (even told them I had undergone a sex change at one point!) but they just won't do it. So for almost 20 years, my Paypal name has been Orla.
Wasn't an issue until last night, when suddenly I'd to send ID scans and proof of address!
Queue a very confused and angry mother at 10:30pm trying to send me scans of her passport and address details!

After that story, I don't think we really have any choice

Never came across the Arcade Game Wing War before,
Looks amazing, can't wait to emulate in MAME
Wing War is a 1994 flight/combat simulation developed for the Sega Model 1 arcade platform by Sega. the object of the game is by where the players fight head-to-head in airplanes trying to shoot the other players out of the sky. Running on the same hardware as Sega's Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing, the game features 3D polygon graphics.
It was available as a two-player sit-down unit as well as a rotating R-360 arcade cabinet, the second and last title to support the cabinet.0 -

`How much you sell that for?
I used to work for PayPal. EU receiving limit. You can send as much as you like but need to verify a few things when getting money.
Got 650 bones in the end! Had a back and forth haggling match with a guy on ebay via the offer function, it's actually pretty useful for that.
I wanted to get about 800 but in the end it's hard to say no to sending someone an old tshirt for that much cash.
Still waiting for Paypal to confirm my (mam's!) identity, will get in touch with them a little later today if there's still no word.Just had a nice cup of coffee and a chat with mrs trout, we both agree that my "hobby" has gotten out of control, and is taking up far too much space in the house. Not quite at the "marriage or hobby" stage yet ... but it's getting there
long story short ... i have to make space, or move out ... i think the HUGE Naomi cab + "spare" 29in CRT and the 2 trinitrons, and maybe the JAMMA boards over the summer have brought us to this point (she hasn't spotted the N64, so that's staying)
so, why am i (long time lurker, sporadic hoarder, and non-seller) posting this?
(i) some of you have been in this position, for sure
(ii) i will have to sell some of this stuff, and i want to be straight up & not gouge anyone, especially the guys here who sold me the stuff in the first place
(iii) it's important to me that this stuff goes to an enthusiast, for a fair price ... not mad money on adverts to people who should know better
(iv) i would rather take a hit than be seen as a profiteer
Before I put up anything on the marketplace ... any advice/thoughts?
Ah yes, I know this pain!
I moved from a three bedroom house into an apartment in the city centre about 5 years ago. One thing I'd suggest is utilising the attic space in your house to the max, thankfully my apartment has an attic so I was able to floor it and do just that.
Still, I'd say half of the things I owned still had to go. Most of the videogame collection wasn't impacted though, mainly consoles I had doubles on and broken bits and pieces I'd been hoarding 'just in case' - getting rid of backups is definitely another good way to resolve this.
CRTs are the difficult one. I absolutely love them and find it incredibly difficult to give them up seeing as it's now a lost technology. If I ever get a garage I'll probably wall myself in with them 0 -

right ... Naomi cab (it's HUGE) and the two monitors. Paid 400 this summer ... will let go for 300 for quick sale, boardsie price, no haggling, buyer collects
that seem fair enough?
obvs I'll make a proper Marketplace post ... just trying to be a square dealer here
Very good deal. You (or buyer) should check the monitors. Odds are against it, but some of them camewith tri-sync.
Also, if anyone has a killer instinct cabinet, do let me know. 1 or 2. Have rare things for trade, stranger! Or money of course...
