For 2 days the Bulk loader is practically worthless. Their computer times out on anything but tiny files, which means you need to zip no more than 5 or 10 pix per upload or it croaks. (and it still croaks half the time with these small requests)
If that wasn't bad enough, I finally got a deliquent buyer to pay me with Yahoo Pay direct. It debited his account, sent me an email, (which he has redirected to my real ISP with his Yahoo Mail), and then the email was returned as undeliverable. He can email me directly with no problem, but not only does it mess up a simple email, the payment does not show up in my account, but it does show a debit on his account (he proved that to me with an email copy), and of course there is nobody but Yahoobots at yahoo to straighten it out.
Anyway, Yahoo stock is still over valued. I think it's worth a dollar per compliment I've ever heard about the company minus a dollar for each complaint. Since it can't have a negative value, I guess that makes it worthless.

On my first PayDirect payment I was unhappy too, but everything appears OK now.
The customer notified me that he had paid. My account showed the money was there, but I could not access it. The link just did not work. In fact, it did not work until the next day after I received the notice from YAHOO that money was in my account.
I thought this unusual, but if I wait until YAHOO notifies me, PayDirect works fine. If I happen to find that the money appears to be in my account and I click on it, nothing happens...
