I think I got the Adore Me in Apple... Jackie emailed that they believe it is in stock, but she'll let me know for sure. For the price, I figured why not. With a second bag, there will be a combined shipping charge and not the full price one.

So, I have ordered a turquoise TME and the Adore Me in Apple (provided in stock).

I THINK I bought a cream pebble Angel Purse. But it never confirmed. And then I tried again...so maybe I bought 2, which of course, must be cancelled.

I tried for the Apple Adore Me, but I think you ladies got to it before me. Enjoy!

Just noticed that there is a sale. I have been busy this weekend and have not had time to check in. Seems like there has been great finds!

I just bought a charcoal black Hold Me. I love that style and have been thinking about another colour. I wonder what colour the lining is?

I am also waiting for a lovely Chocolate Matte I'm Yours Tote to travel back to the UK from the US which may be a challenge in the light of the forthcoming postal strike in the UK.

The Black WTM Midi - that is torturing and teasing me - says "glossy" but looks pebbled but not particularly glossy. Other opinions?

Torture is right. It is stunning, especially after seeing pixiechic's thread...

Basic, beautiful, black WTM Midi

I succumbed again and added the black crash Take Me Away.

But like most of you, everything right now is on hold because of the stupid Moneybookers system. They want my bank statement and that is not going to happen. They already are going to get my driver's license and this is getting ridiculous. I have called and emailed them.

I am hoping they will take an e-bill instead of that because it ain't going to happen. I order from the UK all the time and have never had to jump through hoops like this before. It is without a doubt the absolute worst payment system I have ever had the misfortune to have to deal with.

Oh good lord that sounds awful. Thank god I did my preorder. If that's the kind of crap we're going to have to deal with it may be my last BE purchase.

I am stuck and can't order again either. All I did was to try to pay for my second bag with a different account. Now I can't use the first one either, even though I have now registered. Like you, I have no intention of supply them with those papers.

Sybaryte · Oct 18th, 2009, 01:52 PM

Not an immediate solution but I recommend that you open a separate (hopefully free) checking account to link to any online payment service. That's what I've done with Paypal. It's not on the same bank as my main account, and it's also the one I use for receipt of funds from items I sell. I don't want to risk fraudulent activity or charge-backs. My online purchases are always via a credit card so I periodically clear out the secondary account in order to maintain a low balance.

TropicalGal · Oct 18th, 2009, 02:06 PM

Ladies, just email Jackie what you want and she'll get it sorted out and bill you at some point.

pinkdiamond · Oct 18th, 2009, 02:30 PM

i ordered without moneybooker. just selected visa and paid normally. i think UK orders don't have to register with moneybooker. i certainly have no intention of registering for any other online account apart from paypal

Jenova · Oct 18th, 2009, 02:36 PM

Didn't you get another screen where you put in your card number after checking the Visa box? I think you will find that was provided by the Moneybookers site and that they now have your name, possibly your address and definitely your card number in their records. I did the same and they already had my card number when I went into their site this afternoon. If they don't like anything you do they will now be able to stop you putting orders through to BE. As I mentioned, all I did was try to order using a second card and they put a block on my first card too. As you know, I am also in the UK.

Jackie is going to try to get me unlocked again tomorrow.

lionlaw · Oct 18th, 2009, 02:59 PM

I did not pay through moneybookers. All of my payments were made by clicking the Visa and then entering my card info. Moneybookers is the processing system and that is the problem. They want to confirm identify before they will let the transaction go through which is why even though my credit card shows holds for BE and the money is not in my available balance, my orders are still on hold by moneybookers.

Mytherese has a system where you also have to confirm identity, but nothing as crazy as this. I dont mind confirming identity, but moneybookers is collecting way too much personal information for a credit card transaction.

Jackie is aware of the situation and working to resolve it, but right now I am stuck. You can't order on the site with paypal and Jackie was quite clear that Moneybookers is Be's new payment system and more than one payment with Paypal is not an option.

I am not going to open a whole new checking account just to purchase handbags. That is getting ridiculous. If moneybookers wants to be a pain in the butt, then BE just can cancel all my orders and cancel all the pending BEC's because I am not going to give any UK company that I have never heard of my bank statement. The drivers license is ridiculous enough as it is.

finzup · Oct 18th, 2009, 03:07 PM

Based on Jackie's facebook posting yesterday I think she is also frustrated with moneybookers.
