EVE General Discussion

I started playing EVE about 3 weeks ago. I read something about the buddy programm and how plexes work while i was installing/downloading the game.
The day after i started 4 of my friends wanted to play too and i invited them via Buddy-Mail.

2 of them decided to keep playing with me and 2 didnt want to continue after the trial.

In my Account-Manager underneath "Buddy Programm - Past Invites" it sais:

22 Jul 2012 "Email A"
Your friend upgraded on 25 Jul 2012 using a non-eligible payment. 30 Days Game Time
22 Jul 2012 "Email B"
Your friend accepted the invitation and started a trial account on 22 Jul 2012. 30 Days Game Time
22 Jul 2012 "Email C"
Your friend accepted the invitation and started a trial account on 22 Jul 2012. 30 Days Game Time

The funny thing is:
Player A did add gametime via Money-Paying and will continue to do so. Jet i dont see any benefits to my account anywhere. Players B and C were the ones that didnt want to continue: so i understand this part.
But player D (who happens to be my best friend and also joined via Email) is not even in the list.
Also i dont remember beeing able to choose "Plexes" when i mailed them.

1. Which status do players A and D have in my Buddy Programm?

2. How and where do i redeem plexes for any of those 2?

3. How do i see how my game time adds up? which transaction or transaction type extended my Pilote licence when and how much?

4. where do i see if i already got a "buddy" that added gametime to my account?

5. Where do i see the plexes i have or anything?

Siriously i love this game but every single Inch of it is so god damn complicated its not even funny anymore. I googled those informations for about 2 hours now and i finally give up. I can find none of these informations in any of my guides. Just how to transfer forth and back some omnious ETCs.

I had 2 friends who wanted to join Eve online with me and got told i can have 2 plexes for this. Why doesnt this work and why cant i do that no matter how hard i try?

Sincerly
totally confused Destriouth Hollow

this game is screwing with my head......

Erm.... Press ESC ingame there should a Redeem button bottom left.

Actually my buddies had that right away, then it converted into a eligible payment after a week. I think they paid by paypal or something
