This isn't the first time small issues have been around for ages. At work, we deal with eBay and PayPal a lot (eBay not so much anymore) and jesus christ, some bugs that look so simple to fix, but are so annoying have been there for months

I know the process of fixing bugs, and sometimes it may be harder then it looks, but come on .. multi million company .. let's go :)

"It’s staggering that PayPal has not fixed this most basic payment issue immediately."

Have you ever tried to get customer service from eBay or PayPal? Enough said..

Ah, I initially understood the title as: "If PayPal doesn't fix the drop down menu bug in ten days they're in big trouble!"

Anyone got a plausible theory as to why it is taking PayPal so long to fix this one?

[staticshock → michael_dorfman]

maybe everyone's been dumped on a project to deal with the rising numbers of ebay scammers? of course, i'd have to be highly optimistic to think that something that useful was, in fact, happening. it's probably more like arrington said, it's stuck in a mismanaged bug queue.

Unbelievable! I would have fixed that in less than one minute!

Michael Arrington would probably enjoy his life more if he were involved in open source software. Then when one of his "OMG THE SKY IS FALLING" bugs came up, he could just fix it himself.

Oh, nevermind. He just likes to complain. Good for ad revenue, dontchaknow.

He apparently even has enough free time to mod me down. Amusing.
