I seem to recall that it took several days for my cc info to make it through the system.

If you used an international money order, it can take weeks.

There is no legitimate way to short-cut the system, but if you know someone with PM and can email them, and you don't mind them seeing what was sent to you, then ask them to PM the person who PMed you, and have that person send the message via them back to you by email.
