For anyone who has ordered a shiny new Pro Account today (October 8), firstly, YAY! and secondly, this is a just a little note to let you know that Flickr has received your order, however PayPal is experiencing a bit of a blockage.

There’s no need to worry, your order is pending, and will stay that way until it pops out the other side of PayPal (where the actual cash transaction takes place), at which time you’ll receive a confirmation email from both Flickr and PayPal.

You can check on your order status on your order history page, where you will see any pending order you may have displayed in grey and italicised.

Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
