Update: Seed Account Re-sale, Free Users + Custom Styles
Two things for you today!
Thing the first:
We have not been able to finish and fully test the new site functionality that enables people to purchase accounts without a PayPal account. Instead of finishing it up an hour before the first sale is scheduled and crossing our fingers that it works, we've decided to push the sale off another week.
The new time of the Seed Account re-sale is Thursday, May 14th, 9PM EDT and again at Friday, May 15th, 9AM EDT. In total 200 accounts will be available.
Thing the second:
People with free accounts have probably noticed that a few days ago we took away the Advanced Customization area of the site. (The pages that let you make a custom style.) We had never intended for it to be available unless you paid, and having it on was an oversight on our part. After we turned it off, we got to hear a lot of really good comments from people and we reevaluated the original decision.
We've turned it back on, but gave free users a pretty low limit on the number of styles you can create (1 custom style, up to 5 layers). Short story: you can once again go back to customizing and importing styles from other sites. Sorry for the trouble!

It's really just for supporting the site for the first year, if someone's particularly interested in doing so.

Thank you for posting info about it and how much it costs. I would like to buy one for myself... when it is available, will it show up under paid accounts? Or will it be different link?
Is it possible to post a link to where it will be? Also what is PDT? Is that pacific time aka PST? Being an American in the UK, I have gotten myself all turned around in trying to sort out when I need to be awake to buy a seed account.
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated!

9PM EDT is Eastern Time, aka 0100 GMT on May 15th for the first sale, and twelve hours later at 1300 GMT for the second batch.

A friend said it was at two! I just need to get it sorted corretly so I dont miss out. I am definately buying one for myself! Will I be able to PURCHASE A PAID ACCOUNT for someone else at the same time (not necessarily a seed account) Or will it have to be two separate transactions?
Thanks again for the help. (again!)

EDT is Eastern time in the summer, EST is Eastern time in the winter. So EST is GMT-5, and EDT is GMT-4.
Yes, you can buy several accounts in one order. For different users, for yourself, whatever! :)
