AppleCare Registration in Progress, still?

Question

Hi all,
I recently purchased an AppleCare for my Macbook Pro (1st year warranty expires on the 15th Aug), and I did the registration online and i seem to recall an error at the end of the registration asking me to try registering again at a later point. I just wrote this warning off seeing as how the status of the registration was still "in progress" so I figured it was just working..
But it's nearly 5 days later and the status is still "registration in progress." I don't see how I can register again, or amend the registration seeing as how the only way to register is to type in the AppleCare registration code, however when I do it tells me that the code is already in use, and prompts me to contact Apple..
Any ideas on how I can do this without resorting to making any phonecalls?
I hate phones! (except the iPhone :P)

My turn for this. I thought it might've been because I bought it off eBay (despite the seller having 100% positive rep for hundreds of AppleCare sales) - of course, the AppleCare support person I spoke to pretty much said this and suggested that it should only be bought from an authorised retailer etc etc. Somehow I knew they would be as awkward as possible if they are not getting their overpriced direct sale.
I was told to send proof of purchase, as they seem to think the code has already been used, but surely the reason it's already been used is because I've tried to register it! The agent didn't seem to understand this concept. Anyway I've sent eBay and PayPal receipts and guess all I can do is sit and wait and hope for the best. I'll be pretty annoyed if I've lost £56 due to Apple assuming I'm a criminal who's stolen the code from somewhere.
