Tell me, friends, has Flickr defrauded you, too?
This year they've improved - only charged me twice instead of last year's four times, one of the charges was reverse, and the other disappears from the logs but my $24.95 is still gone. Last year $49.90 vanished into the haze and I never had time to run it down, mostly because they actually did update my pro account.
But this year I'm out $24.95 and I still don't have my account and I'm really, really tired of getting jerked around by filing help requests, so I'm going to publicly beat them, and when I get back home I'm going to sue them.
How freakin' hard is it, really, to process a credit card? Apparently darned near impossible if the card owner has moved and not updated some minutia in a Yahoo profile somewhere. When you're trying to pay for Flickr you fill in everything, down to the three digit code on the back of the card. That ought to be pretty clear proof that the card is in your possession, right?
NOT!
So I had moved last year right before I updated, and I moved again this year in January.
Rather than a lot of negative ranting about this company holding my 10,000+ photos hostage, I'm going to ask this of the good people of DailyKos
Have you ever had to stage an escape from Flickr? If so, how did you do it?
I see that @Flickr but they don't do customer service with it. No matter, I will publicly beat them until I lose interest in this problem.
Jesus H. Christ shot with a Hasselblad how freakin' hard is it, in 2011, to take a freakin' credit card over the net?
Seriously, I guess I will have to figure out a way to pay the $24.95 so I can rescue my photos, but what service do I use that will let me organize this stuff and show images on DailyKos? One that won't waste a dozen hours of my time and tie up $50 or $100 on my credit card while trying to pay a $24.95 charge?
I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Flickr ...
