If it's coming up that she is "not registered" then there is something wrong with the address. (Not able to accept payments mean her account is locked).
I'd just send her a message and let her know what is happeneing then wait and see. She may be using a payment address different from her ebay address to fend of phishers n such.

I've notified her once, so far no response.
I'll write again and explain what's happening.
How odd. Thanks Fenix

maggie-ya dont know what plantain is?????
Well..plantain belongs to the genus Musa, which contains about forty species, widely distributed throughout the tropics of the Old World and in some cases introduced into the New World.
The great use of the family resides in the use of the unripe fruits as food and to a much less extent in that of the ripe fruit - Bananas. In many parts of the tropics they are as important to the inhabitants as are the grain plants to those living in cooler regions. The northern limit of their cultivation is reached in Florida, the Canary Islands, Egypt and Southern Japan, and the southern limit in Natal and South Brazil. There has been considerable discussion as to whether they were growing in America before the discovery of the New World.
The unripe fruit is rich in starch, which on ripening turns into sugar.
The most generally used fruits are derived from Musa paradisiaca, of which an enormous number of varieties and forms exist in cultivation. The sub-species, sapientum, formerly regarded as a distinct species (M. sapientum), is the source of the fruits generally known in England as Bananas and eaten raw, while the name Plantain is given to forms of the species itself which require cooking. The species is probably a native of India and Southern Asia.
Other species are M. acuminata in the Malay Archipelago, M. Fehi, in Tahiti, and M. Cavendishii, the so-called Chinese Banana, which has a thinner rind and is found in cooler countries.
Plantains often reach a considerable size. The hardly-ripe fruit is eaten (whole or cut into slices) roasted, baked, boiled, fried, as an ingredient of soups and stews, and in general as potatoes are used, possessing, like the potato, only a slight or negative flavour and no sweetness. They are also dried and ground into flour as meal, Banana meal forming an important food-stuff, to which the following constituents have been assigned: Water 10.62, albuminoids 3.55, fat 1.15, carbohydrates 81.67 (more than 2/3 starch), fibre 1.15, phosphates 0.26, other salts, 1.60. The sugar is chiefly cane-sugar.
In East Africa and elsewhere an intoxicating drink is prepared from the fruit. The rootstock which bears the leaves is, just before the flowering period, soft and full of starch, and is sometimes used as food in Abyssinia, and the young shoots of several species are cooked and eaten.
The leaves cut into strips are plaited to form mats and bags; they are also largely used for packing and the finer ones for cigarette papers. The mature leaves of several species yield a valuable fibre, the best of which is 'Manila hemp.'
God are you f*cking stupid...

It's a type of banana but a little more diverse. They have three different uses based on their stage or ripeness. When they are still yellow they are very starchy, like a potato, at green they are a little less starchy and they make they make good chips at if they are sliced or fried (just saw a recipe where they are fried up in coconut oil which sounds really good).
If you wait until they get black, the starch turns to sugar and they have more of a desert use. Really good if you cut them up and throw them in a pan with some butter and brown sugar to caramelize and then serve over ice cream but also good with French toast. Especially with lots of bacon on the side so you have that sweet/salty thing going on.
First time I ever tried to make them myself, I didn't know about the stages of ripeness thing and tried working with green ones (because I like green bananas best).... it
was pretty yuk!

Just for the hell of it.
I'm fine, thanks. The Wife is doing better, Big Pee’s still a moron, Rusty’s still queer and I'm glad a thread with my name in it can have such diverse spewing involved.

"The Wife is doing better"
Glad to hear it Colin.
Linda, Colins statement above seems to conflict with your, "He and his wife are both okay...he's just busy with work and 'other' things. But both are fine, health wise.....so don't worry."
Obviously that wasn't the case. So you lied. Hmmm. Just keeping the tradition alive aren't you Linduh?
