No, not a good few days.  I didn't even want my wife and son to goto Wegmans today.

When you have never gotten an Ebay offer. You call and ask about it, they say it's random.

The ads on the Forum are getting out of control.  It's like 50% of the screen now.

Please, please, please let me pay BP $5/mo on an auto-subscription so you can turn off the ads!

Or, switch to the Brave browser, and send BP $5/mo voluntarily (brave has as an integrated micropayments system).

I’d like to suggest linking the ads to niche porn sites. I feel like those BPer’s who collect costumed mini figures from blind bags would welcome targeted ads to some hardcore Furry communities. Asking for a friend.

Oh man, that brings memories of the one time the site was redirecting to one of those sites ...

The moment when you finalize a set of 7 BL orders to complete your project ...... and a few minutes later pull out a bag with an eBay purchase that contains most of the parts you just ordered ... *facepalm*

Going to espn.com to check fantasy draft time only to be met by some naked grandma holding a basketball or Koepka's bare a$$ in my face.

Am I over the hill or is this what their audience wants these days?

Two complaints for the price of one:

1. EBay sending everyone a Mastercard debit card via the mail at the end of October. Why? No clue. You can go to https://www.PayPal.com/NoThanks to disable this, but you need to do this for every account you have.

2. Amazon FBA warehouse LBG7 is holding one of my boxes hostage since 9/12. Been at "delivered" since that day, but no inventory has been added. Lazy Californians!

You can go to that nothanks website Before Sept 8.  If you already receive the card you have to close it in your Paypal account

I do not want a PayPal Business Debit Card.
If you are not interested in keeping the PayPal Business Debit Card, you can visit PayPal.com/nothanks and click ‘Don’t send a Debit Card’ before September 8, 2019. If the card was already shipped, you can close it within your PayPal account by clicking the card under your balance and selecting ‘Close Card’.

That would be a pretty crappy move, because I received a letter in the mail TODAY saying that I could go there to prevent it from being shipped on 10/20.

Thanks for the heads up on that crap.  Cancelled, baby!  

By the way, does Ebay still own Paypal?  I thought they sold it some time ago.

some believe a recent purchase triggers the promo...or simply showing some activity (ie clicking thru marketing emails and like)...worked for me (but correlation is not causation).

I have been constantly getting the large (8%-10%) ebay bucks promos lately.

I think that they are trying to counter the anger that many buyers have expressed since they started charging sales tax.

Ebay no longer owns PayPal.

I’m confused. Who is sending the debit card? eBay or PayPal?

And I have to click the link before a date from 2 weeks ago?

My bad on the eBay vs PayPal thing. It's PayPal all the way. And according to the letter I received Thursday you can still cancel, as cards will be sent out around 10/20.

Walking through Spiderman size web on way to shipping supply storage:(  Now where's that spider... on my neck I just know it!?

Brown vs Reddish Brown. Especially when you realize way after the fact that some BL sellers have both mixed in their Used lots.

I did my weekly credit report check this morning and to my surprise saw that PayPal is now reporting and thus effecting your FICO score.  Originally when I signed up for PayPal it was called “Bill me later” back then the free line of credit that did not report was a major benefit. I remember getting a notice that Synchrony was taking over in July and I am sure somewhere in the fine print, that I did not read, there was something about the change in reporting. 

Found this article:

eta: not sure about the PayPal business loan where it just takes a portion of your sales to repay as I do not have one of those currently. 

This messes up my DCA strategy for ASEs
