PayPal work around us what I did as well.

Ah, thanks for that nugget of info. They haven't responded to my email yet.

Also, for those of you buying Classified or anything else off of eBay, they will stop taking Amex sometime in August. Just thought I'd throw that out there even though it might have already been mentioned here.

I believe the date is August 17th.

I?ll probably drop EBay after that date.

My first impression is just, meh. I'd need to see or hear more about him to consider him joining my Classified ranks.

What the heck is going on with amex?

“After careful consideration, eBay has decided to no longer accept American Express globally effective August 17 due to the unacceptably high fees American Express charges for processing credit card transactions. At a time when payment processing costs should be declining because of technological advancements, investments in fraud capabilities and customer protections by merchants like eBay, credit card transaction fees continue to rise unabated because of a lack of meaningful competition. As consumers and small businesses are worried about inflation and rising costs, there is a need for more robust regulations to drive greater competition to credit card networks and help reduce transaction processing costs for merchants and their customers.

eBay bitching about this is the richest thing I've read in weeks. After they ditched PayPal they raised seller fees and they nickel and dime you based on dumb shit. They're the ones who need some real competition. eBay often makes more money off sales than the sellers do.

Probably not. He looks like a Federal Agent, not a military guy, and wouldn't really fit in visually with my Joe team. While I get there are ninjas and Quick Kick and we have characters like Chuckles and Bazooka that look like they got called in on their day off, a guy in a suit with a blinged our antique rifle looks more like a John Wick character than G.I. Joe to me. If they ditched the suit for some tactical gear, that had more visual ties to other looks in the line, I'd consider it.

As a Cobra, I'd be more forgiving. Those guys are all over the map which makes sense being a scrappy group of up and coming terrorists.

Oh it?s not an Amex issue really.

Pulse?s issue has something to do with the new software they switched too and apparently there was communication issue about the change. I was told both Hasbro and Amex want to work with each other.

We don?t know why EBay is dropping them but it s been rumored because they charge a higher fee than other cards and they offer greater consumer protection.

If you're a good sniper, you shouldn't need a second shot.
