eBay has changed its policy on sale of collectible credit cards.
They now require the card to be expired for at least 10 years. eBay
is implementing this policy because many credit card issuers have
terms and conditions that may restrict the sellers ability to
transfer them to another person. For more info go to
http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-creditcard.html
eBay is holding its second session of Bay University. These half
