  1. Wife bought this for me at ComicCon in 2014 so it is well loved.
  2. Correct, you just cannot state an explicit "surcharge" for credit. As I said, its all semantics but that's the law for you! Relevant statute. So, it should be fine to say Comic Book A $103. Then, when it is time to pay up, state on the invoice 2 prices: the first one $103 and the second one $100/cash equivalent with no stated preference. A simple "Cash Equivalent Discount available" notice in the seller terms should also be fine. For @Buzzetta this is not a surcharge, it is a discount. A discount with no stated preference for one buying method, one way or another, is perfectly in accordance with PayPal terms and the law.
  3. Discounts displayed at the pump are fine. You just cannot state an explicit "surcharge" for credit. As I said, its all semantics but that's the law for you! Relevant statute. So, rethinking this, it should be fine to say Comic Book A $103. Then, when it is time to pay up, state on the invoice 2 prices: the first one $103 and the second one $100/cash equivalent with no stated preference. A simple "Cash Equivalent Discount available" notice in the seller terms should also be fine. For @Buzzetta this is not a surcharge, it is a discount.

  4. That's really cool! What year is it from?
  5. That would have been a tough one. Discover was a bad joke until suddenly it wasn't.
  6. Talk to the Hand (which is holding a Discover Card!)
  7. This is correct. You cannot offer a discount to encourage people to not use Paypal. You can price things like this:100$ check/money order $103 Paypal. You cannot say you're discouraging Paypal. You cannot have a sign up that says discount for Cash as that violates credit card and Paypal rules. You can have every item individually priced with cash and credit treated equally on the same line with no stated preference but 2 separate and different prices. This rule is why the old "Paypal preferred" logo disappeared roughly 10 years ago. All payment methods must be treated equally with no preference. You cannot state you prefer Visa over Mastercard over Paypal over cash or any combination thereof. You can price your items to reflect your costs where the item is listed for sale. You cannot penalize Paypal or credit users at checkout. If your stated price is $100 then that is what you have to charge. Surcharges are illegal and against TOS. Discounts are not; if handled properly. $100 Check/Money Order $103 Paypal perfectly legal. $100 Check/Money Order $103 Paypal Preferred perfectly illegal. $100 Check/Money Order Preferred $103 Paypal illegal. Stating that you will charge an extra 3% at checkout if someone uses Paypal or Credit is illegal on a sign at your POS and it is illegal in a sales listing here on the boards. Saying you will accept all forms of payment but then pricing every item individually $100 Check/Money Order $103 Paypal that is legal because it does not blanket state a preference for one or the other. Legally it is not a surcharge; it is a discount. Very important. Its all semantics but that's the law for you.
  8. No, no, no. Its a Nazi-Pirate themed day spa! She's on a massage table and he's on a back adjuster/tanning spit. Torch is just discussing the bill with the manager. I guess if you look at it with a little imagination they could be trying to "roast" Toro but he's just tanning.
  9. Congrats on the new baby and the new Mummy!
  10. That would be awesome. I saw a lot, years ago, of like 40 or 50 wdc&s comics that were all from the same estate with the same label. I still regret not buying that.
