Store Still Not Ready

Well, what can I say? SmellBeautiful.co.uk is all ready for release but my bank account has still not been verified. They keep saying that they have deposited two small amounts into my account but they are not in my account. The unfortunate thing is that I can not take payments until this is done. Hopefully it will be finished next week and I can finally release. It’s definitely been a long time coming and I am looking forward to its release. My one tip though is not to get anyone to develop the system for you and just do it yourself. I got someone to do my system and I have still had to pretty much finish off all the features and style myself. I don’t want to get into it to much but I was not completely satisfied with the service I received and in the future would just do it myself. I thought that it would save me some time but it ended up costing me money and still my own time so I have not benefited. In-fact you could say that I am worse off which is probably correct.

Anyway, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. At least I have learned one way not to do it in the future.

    They are now taking the mickey. They still have not yet verified my bank account. I was beginning to think that they got my bank details wrong, but no, they are all correct. No idea what they are up to. No idea at all.

    Yep I have. They keep saying that they are putting it in, and that they are doing it now. But then, nothing! Fed up of speaking to them now. I think that I will get a few other payment providers instead. It most probably will be quicker :)

    By the way Ian, I do actually read your blog but you would never know it because it still stops me from leaving comments ;)
