I was under the impression that i was logged in as i could see my logged in status at aliexpress at the same time i was trying to process order automatically. It still wouldn't work then something interesting happened. While the processing status was stuck, i clicked on the aliexpress icon on my chrome browser a couple times, the order then proceeded to go through. It worked finally, but is that how you're supposed to make sure that a connection is made by clicking on the icon? I'll keep an eye on this. thanks for the assistance until next time!
