Online marketplace behemoth eBay said it plans to no longer accept American Express , citing what the company says are "unacceptably high fees" and that customers have other payment options to shop online. It's a notable blow to American Express, whose customers are often the most attractive among merchants and spend the most money per month on their cards. "After careful consideration, eBay has decided to no longer accept American Express globally effective Aug. 17 due to the unacceptably high fees American Express charges for processing credit card transactions," said eBay spokesman Scott Overland, in a statement. Overland said that eBay customers have become aware of new ways to pay for items, making payments more competitive than ever before, and AmEx was no longer a necessary partner for eBay. "We know that the vast majority of eBay customers are willing to use alternative payment options to continue enjoying buying and selling on our marketplace," Overland said.

Kyrsten Sinema's staff have had a tough time on Capitol Hill, with complaints of a "demoralizing" workplace. "He (and his staff) built a lot of good relationships with other senators and their staff," Overland wrote of the goodwill Lieberman had earned during his career. "Sen. Sinema has been in office less than one term and has been causing headaches for the party pretty much the entire time." A Sinema spokesperson declined to comment for this story. John LaBombard, Sinema's former communications director, said on Friday that Sinema told her staff about her decision in advance and he had not heard any negative reaction so far.
