I was trying to shop at PoserPros over the weekend -- there was an item on temporary sale. I registered and got the confirm email, but my membership has to be approved by a human(?) which still hasn't happened 2+ days later. Is it normal to wait several days just to shop?

The item that was onsale (Andre for M3, hubba hubba) I found here at RMP also onsale same price ($20.65 yay), but the other items I would have bought (can you buy one thing without adding a few impulse extras?) don't exist here. I eventually gave up waiting since the sale on Andre was advertised as "one day only". I sort of feel bad for the other merchants I would have purchased from, but to play it safe I bought Andre here just under the deadline at the same one-day-only price and (as usual) added a few extra items from the marketplace (halo effect). PP's loss is Rendo's gain....
Not trying to lodge a formal complaint, but I think merchants should know: until you have an approved membership at PP there is no temporary shopping cart or wishlist, so the extra items I would have bought are lost and forgotten. Assuming I am eventually approved I will probably look around before buying something there. I realize there are real-life delays with small merchants and I'm not the type to freak out over that sort of thing, but this isn't even a case of spending money and waiting for downloads. The irony of being lured by a one-day sale and then not being approved for several days.... This was a lost sale.

At this time I can't even logon to their forums to see if that is normal business practice for them or maybe they hit a technical snag or backlog. As the days go on, I'm less and less interested.
