…erm, Phil… I think Tom was being sarcastic and pointing out the stupidity of Paypal’s programmers…

I don’t think you got it right first time. From the screenshots it looks to me like they’ve got a normal “ok, edit, cancel” button setup and just changed the text on the first one, although it still performs the OK function, which is what you wanted.

Although that’s no excuse for it being incredibly stupid.

I used to love Paypal, simple, straightforward millions of users. Lately though they seem to be diluting their offering and in the process starting to look really bad, with customers losing confidence big time. The worse thing that can hapen to you if you’re dealing with people’s money – is for them to lose confidence.

Bye Bye Paypal, we know you don’t need us, but now we know we don’t need you either. (C’mon Google, sort it out)

More PayPal related problems with their API. This time related to subscription problems.

Fear not Keir. I am merely injured, not destroyed. I shall fight another day. Or failing that, I’ll see if I can get a job at PayPal and help them sort their shit out :)

I’ve watched PayPal systematically (not programmatically) destroy my good friend Tom. He’s a shadow of his former self. Shame on you, PayPal, shame on you!
