Either gets the same treatment, not sure about premier though. Yeah Chris, I suspect the sheer amount of automation causes issues, but how to get around it?

If you think that was bad, try setting up an account with eBay to sell goods, *and* configure it with your Paypal account at the same time. You can become a member of eBay in a matter of minutes. But I believe eBay requires that as a seller you must offer a credit card option for payment. That can either be a merchant facility, or Paypal. But, you must register and verify your eBay account with a Paypal account anyway, even though that may not want to use or accept Paypal as a payment method. Both Paypal and eBay appear to use technology to enact their highly systematised processes, however this results in no room for personalisation of the service, or the flexibility and options that Kiwi's are used to when dealing with service providers.
