RE: +1 on the dedicated account. (nt)

Decades ago they were pushing Paypal like with an earthmover I stated the application but then it got to be too much. It was a minor transaction. After my experience with that I payed by Billpoint I think, which will pay them and you pay Billpoint, but it is ridiculous expensive. the charges were as much as the item. But that is how enamored I was by Paypal.

I never had any experience selling back then, but as a buyer I had 100% positive feedback. However one day comes an email. I have no security, I have to change my password and all this shit. I blew that off after giving it a read.

I have seen things though that I can buy without using my eBay handle If it has "Buy It Now" many of those items are powersellers of whatever and can actually do a credit card transaction themselves. They are actual companies in some cases and eBay is just one of their sales venues. If you can glean their company name out of their ad you could go directly to them. I am not sure how to contact the seller or any of that.

Last time I was on Amazon they want all buyers to be members apparently. I looked and looked for a buy without all the shit but I couldn't find it.

Is this the trend need a membership to buy a god damn tube of toothpaste.

Not this boy. I was born in the morning but not this morning. They make money for all that, otherwise why do it ? Membership, and then "To serve you better".

How many in your household ? Average income ? Ages ?

Let me tell you something about that business, and this is not the inside shit or anything... The olman and I had a double house, lived in it as a single, had our own apartments, broads, friends, whatever. We had a few joint credit cards. We had kickass credit, eventually I had one with no limit and was offered another one, but it had high fees. so they send this junk in the bills. We did nothing autopay except for internet.

So the olman was a real card when it came to this shit. (stick around, it's cooool) He would never miss a chance. One of his hobbies was filling out surveys. We had invisible roomies, Sukim Mi Engordi, (middle name on the app said Mi for middle initial, so...) Jack M. Jaws. Jakov Youssef and Crania. Crania was a piece of work. He had her down as a prostitute making like half million a year. She is also an equestrian. So then we got ads for saddles. I have never even touched a horse. I should have contacted one and found out i f they make gun holsters. I want one now but I am sure it will be a special order.

Now, the olman liked to play. So he gets this ad for costume jewelry in the junk in one credit card bill. So he sends that in, without a mark on it, to another bank to make the payment on that completely separate card.

It was charged to the card that had sent it.

Now what does that tell you ? It tells me that there is no need for Lifelock n shit, and all this protection because you can protect your information all you want so only the people you want get it, but then you find out they are not your friends.

Turns out he could have sent it back but it wasn't worth the postage.

But no I will not trust anyone with a carte' blanche on my account. There is a public account number and a private account number. Guess what they ain't getting.
