One of my high bidders asked me to use them as a referral, so I did. I did that
yesterday, haven't heard back yet if they received their $10. I will post more
info as soon as I hear anything.

I see where X.com is now suggesting that people use it to settle auction

However here's my question. Is it just me or is everyone else who's
tried this latelyt had some hiccups too?

I've had two people, at least, use me as a referral. I haven't seen any
payment. My mail to their customer support has went unanswered. The 800
number is always busy, and their online chat to talk to someone also has
went unanswered for 20 minutes before I gave up.

Is this a viral marketing success story that has swamped the company? Or
is it just me?

At this point I am nervous about asking people to pay this way, if I
don't see the money show up in my account, they are stuck and so am I.

Note that if someone says "it worked fine 2 weeks ago" that doesn't
count, that was then... this is now. X may be in an exponential growth
curve so I'm interested in TODAY's experiences. Or at least yesterdays,
anyway.
