Trial account upgraded but still trial status

I used the upgrade online - paid the $19.99 - and it shows my account is fully licensesed but in game it is still has a trial status where I cannot trade, use the AH, etc. I've done this several times with in-store purchased keys and it is nearly instantaneous, why have I waited now over 24 hours for this to change?

One thing that concerns me is it is slated to actually charge for the purchase (the $19.99) after my 10 day trial is up. I don't want to be a trial for 10 days, I wanted to get regular status ASAP which is why I did the online option. If I would have known I'd have run to Target and just bought a box.

Please help.

As is stated several times throughout the upgrade process, social and trade restrictions will remain for up to 72 hours after the direct online upgrade is purchased, Test. Please try to remain as patient as possible while we attempt to process and verify your upgrade.

Thanks!
