My reply to that was along the lines of if you have activated my membership why are you offering free trials when I access my eBay plus membership from my home page and why do non of my listings reflect this.

eBay saying they have activated it is not quite the same as it being activated.

You may be at a loss as to what I am asking, but I am equally ATVs loss as to why you are replying to the preamble to my question instead of addressing the real question which you appear to be steadfastly ignoring.

Another contributer has given me a reply to the question. If you don't know the answer then fair enough, but please stop lecturing me on the preamble.

I genuinely don't know what an "Honoured Contributor" is, but your replies are totally irrelevant.
