Payment Deducted over 5 days ago, but developer account not activated yet

Hi, my payment for Apple Developer account was deducted 5 days ago, and since then on my developer macOS app, I am seeing the message that "You'll receive an email soon"

and on website: "Your purchase may take upto 48 hours to process"

I have also sent a couple of emails to Apple support 3 days ago but haven't heard back from them on that too.

Does it take this much time for activation? If so why don't they update the proper timeline on website instead of giving anxiety to developers. That's just not done. Please help on this.

Same issue here, paid once through my bank, nothing, called support, they cancelled it for me so I could pay again, paid with PayPal 2 weeks ago, still nothing, and haven't received my first payment back.
