ETSY Delay

I told everyone I would be opening my ETSY store on December 1...unfortunately, I had to spend some time yesterday on the phone with the bank and now I have to change some paypal stuff!  Can you BELIEVE there are only six paypal transactions allowed in a month from a savings account?  And apparently that is some kind of law?  And that this has been a law for years, but I apparently have only ever made five transactions a month so I have never been made aware of this before?  What the heck!!!
Anyway, long story short, I have photos taken, December pretties made and ready to send, and I can't sell nothin' yet!!!
I am hoping for an opening day this Saturday.  Wish me luck!

  2. Yes, since I am in the industry I can vouch for the fact that it is a federal regulation that you cannot perform certain transactions from your savings account more than 6 times a month.
