How fast can a quot;Buy It Nowquot; feature sell on ebay? -

In other words, If I put a Buy It Now feature on an eBay item. Is it possible than it can be sold in 30 minutes? My listing is for 5 days.

It is possible that it could be sold within 30 minutes.It is also possible that it might not sell at all in the 5 days that you ve listed for.A sale is not guaranteed just because you list your item on eBay.

It all depends on the price, the quality of the item, shipping costs, etc. I ve sold many items on eBay and if I wanted to sell it quick, I offered reduced or free shipping depending on the item.

Do electronic repair businesses have to disclose their actions used to repair the product with the customer? -

I took my xbox 360 into a local repair center about a week ago. I went in yesterday and when I asked what was wrong with it? they replied I can t tell you, but it was bad. Right away, red flags went off. The original estimate was $40-$140. The final price was $135. I know in auto repair, they are required to return any broken parts to the customer upon request. Do these same laws apply to electronic places? Do they need to tell me what they did to it? On the initial sheet they gave me where I filled out what was wrong with it (RRoD), at the bottom there is a section to be filled out by employees about what they did, but this section was left blank. The store owner signed this sheet.Thoughts about what I should do?*Note: I have already paid the $135, but I plan to go back in tomorrow and raise some hell.

They have to quote for the work before they carry it out. Unless you authorise payment, they have to return it to you in the condition that you gave it to them (minus a fee for diagnosis if it was agreed when you booked it in). So therefore, you can demand that they tell you what was wrong and what they re doing before you authorise them to carry out any work. However, if you have already paid up, unless you can actively prove that they did not fix the problem, or carried out unnecessary work, I think you re stuck (aside from the possibility of goodwill from the company if they recognise their employees did wrong).

How to make money blogging? -

how do I get traffic to my blogging site?

according to ehow,Step 1First, I want to explain that I ve found blogging to be like any other business. The good news is it takes practically no overhead--a person could even start it from a public library if they have no extra income to invest into it.To balance that out however, if you want to be successful you re going to have to put a lot of your effort and energy into it. That includes educating yourself, developing your writing, and being patient enough to let the results arrive. Unlike a job, this will be irregular income, but it at least has the potential to grow to more than you could make at a job.Step 2There are several websites out there that offer free blogs, but my current favorite is Blogger.com. When your income reaches the point where it makes sense, you can get your own domain name and hosting very inexpensively. You don t have to pay any money however to start making an income from affiliates such as Google Adsense, Amazon, and eBay. I looked at it from the point of view of getting the blog to pay for itself and then grow it from there.Step 3Also like traditional businesses, niche areas are generally good things. If you re an expert in a certain field or passionate about a certain topic or hobby, people out there may value what you know. It doesn t mean you have to limit yourself, but keeping the theme or topic of a blog consistent will help readers know what to expect. Then just use different blogs.Step 4Marketing helps as well. Talk to people about what you do. Have your blog in your e-mail signature and on business cards. If you interact a lot in your niche area, it s not difficult to find people of similar interests who would like to keep up with your blog. Again, just start small and work your way into it.If you are looking to generate more traffic, ehow has these tips:Step 1Post regularly, the search engines like blogs that are continually adding new quality content. Try to add new content to your blog three times per day. If there is not enough time for that then try to at least post at least one time per day.Step 2Whatever platform you are using, you will need to add keywords when writing a new post. Add keywords about your posting so that search engines will have a better idea of what your blog or posting is about and your post will rank higher in the search engines.Step 3Get good quality inbound links. What this means is writing for article sites and at the end of your article putting a link back to your blog. There are many great article sites out there. Just Google article sites and find great sites that you can write for. Besides getting that inbound link many people go to article sites to get fresh content for their blog and may use your article on their site which will give you even more inbound links.Step 4Comment on other peoples blogs and leave a link back to your blog. You will want to leave a thoughtful comment though. Don t just leave a link to your blog, this can be really annoying and will be considered spam.Step 5Use Yahoo Answers to answer some questions. Besides helping people out by answering their questions you can leave a link back to your blog which will help generate more traffic.Step 6Use social sites to generate traffic. Myspace is not the only social site, there are many and if you use these sites right they can help you generate traffic to your blog. Make as many friends as possible. Generally, the more friends you have, the more internal links you have planted somewhere in the site, giving you more authority in the eyes of the site.Step 7Use Link Exchange sites. Just Google link exchange sites and you will find sites that will help you exchange links with other blogs. You might have to pay a small fee to join their link exchange network but it may well be worth it and a small price to pay for the traffic that will be generated to your blog.Step 8Use traffic exchange sites. Just Google traffic exchange sites and you will find sites that will help you exchange traffic with other blogs. The way these sites is simple. Basically for every two or three blogs you visit, some one else will visit your blog. Using traffic exchange sites is a great way to generate traffic!Step 9Submit your blog to blog directories. They will categorize your blog and your blog will ping their servers anytime you update your blog with new content.Step 10There are many other great ways to promote your blog such as word of mouth, print advertising and many others. The tips above should give you a basic start in building traffic to your blog. Remember the most important thing though is good, new, high quality content to your blog. Google loves it!
