Why wont americans on ebay post items outside the US? -

i live in england and i recently went on ebay.com (the american site) as i was looking for items that were well sought after. to my surprise, not many sellers were willing to ship their items outside the US. why is that? i mean i m the one responsible for paying the postage cost, and it s also a plus for the seller as it means an increase in bids. any theories would be much appreciated, thank you!

It s not just the expense, as you are already aware. It s the hassle - forms to fill out for customs clearance, what happens if buyer doesn t pay the duty, postal and shipping regulations for an endless list of items, and more. Most individuals have no experience with international shipping, customs, etc, and the regulations are daunting for the inexperienced, time-consuming for everyone else.

because you have to physically go to the post office in person, stand in line, fill out customs paperwork, etc - Saturday is the only day of the week that most people can get to the post office and not everyone is home every Saturday to do that, so it might take 2-3 weeks to actually get it shipped - major pain in the @ss in generalcome 2011, post offices may be closed in the US due to the postal service losing billions, so it will be even harder to ship pkg overseas

1. Shipping to the UK is expensive.2. Shipping to the UK is slow.3. Ensuring that all of the seller protection rules have been followed is tedious.4. Too many out-of-country buyers have filed claims that either they never got the item or their credit card was stolen with the result being they got the item for free.

Does anyone work for more than one or even two home based businesses? -

I ve been doing Passion Parties for a year and I really enjoy it, but it s been hard for me to do parties, since my hubby is really busy working and I have little ones (who also have been getting sick often). I ve looked into Avon and Gold Canyon Candles. I m looking to get advice from someone who works for more than one home based business and see how you are handling it. For instance do you advertise seperately, like seperate business cards, seperate websites, or do you combine everything? Do you find it to be stressful? Any other advice and tips would be appreciated!

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

I advertise every where i can real time and online !forums. traffic exchanges E mail services getting qualified Leads Blogging etc..constamtly tracking what works best in each campaign !

You can try a completely free home based online business.

I have three home based businesses, but my situation is a little different. One is a direct sales/network marketing business, the other two are a medical billing and real estate business, both of which I started from scratch . It is very difficult, especially for someone like me who isn t very organized. I m also a single father raising two boys (13 and 2) so my time is at a premium. All of my businesses are completely unrelated and I keep them separate. When you combine them I personally think it makes it seem like you are just indecisive and all over the place, especially when they are unrelated. I do sometimes find it stressful when the billing or real estate demands more of my time and distracts me from the direct sales biz that I m trying to keep my focus on. I m getting out of the billing business and the real estate business has just become more of a hobby. Focus on doing one thing and doing it well, especially since you have limited time. After you ve acheived your goals move on if you wish. Avon is one of the companies I recommend that people look into, but I think there are a lot better opportunities out there than any of those you mentioned. If you want a list of other good ones just email me.

How do you get started with the Ebay business and do you really make alot of money doing it? -

I think that s really tough to do. There is so much competition nowadays and with the downturn in the economy retail businesses (such as ebay businesses are hurting).I d suggest a totally different model altogether. I m doing a program now if you re interested in trying it. It s free to sign up and has different components that you can join or not join if you choose. Some components are free and some aren t (those that aren t free have a free trial period). The free ones have a more limited earning capability but can be used to build capital for the ones with more earning potential. The free component can also be used as proof that money can be made online before committing to options that require a monthly fee. If you re interested you can find out more information at the link listed in my source.With this model doesn t cost anything to try, provides you a means to build capital, and you won t end up with a basement full of merchandise you can t sell. If you re interested you can find out more information at the link listed in my source.

At my school we have to make a Business we do it during lunch please help i dont know what to sell? -

we do it every day and we have to sell something but i don t know what i can sell it cant be anything like mugs or t-shirts its primary school im on my sisters yahoo thingy again shhh

frog in a pondhow many jelly frogs in a jarkey ringsmake a raffle basketdo a silent auctionbook marks??braceletslolly bags (u could buy cheap lollies from cunninghams or something and make up lolly bags)photo framesballoon animalsif you can ...face paintingset up a mini bowling alley and whoever can get a strike or a certaing amount of points gets a prize - they have to oay obviousely to have a turn and you could have different distances to stand for different year levels.

As it appears to be something of a school project, why not do something more abstract so you don t have to spend money to buy stuff to turn around and sell it. You could always do something like the Psychiatric Booth Lucy runs in Peanuts. Cheap. Easy. And, hey, you may even get bonus points for creativity!

Something creative and home-made like cupcakes or brownies would be good :) everyone loves food! Be sure to add an ingredient list so people with allergies can see what to avoid.Another idea is to make friendship bracelets, or greeting cards. Anything out of paper really is a good idea!Good luck!

cookies, sandwiches, t-shirt, lemonde, anything!cheers!

Sell tobacco products and alcohol.

try to sell some new products like comics and ur t-shirts idea is also goodor sell some chocolates etc

Sell cookies.

Is there really any home based internet business that can provide a stable income? -

Like most people, I constantly receive emails with Can t Miss Business Opportunities that will allow me to make $10 million by next Thursday! I simply need to earn an additional $500-$1000 per month to replace my wife s lost income. Is there anything legit online?

There are many legitimate ways to make money online but you need to work for it. Participate on online forums and find out about it.

Finding the right home business opportunity is a challenge. There are many people who have been searching for the right online opportunity but never really did find what they want. If you really want to find the best home based business internet work opportunity, you should do some research. A good source of info for online business are the entrepreneur magazines. You could subscribe to one or two types of them and learn about setting up an online business. They usually offer some very good insights when it comes to setting up your business. Another way for you to find the right home based internet business opportunity is to ask for referrals from friends and relatives. If you know someone who has an online business, they are one of your best sources of info. The good thing about asking for their advice is that they already have experience and could help you out or give you some tips on how to get started.If you don t know anyone who has an online business, you could join forums as well. There are online communities that discuss working from home and some are willing to share their knowledge. To find one of these, you can just simply launch a search by typing the keywords. In a matter of minutes, you can probably find several posts.I ve been working at home for over a year now. I knew absolutely nothing about it either but I stumbled upon something called Maverick Money Makers. I saw it online and on television, so I gave it a shot and it has worked nicely for me. It is very informative and basically walks you through everything step-by-step. It does cost to become a member and have access to all of this material but I m pretty sure there is a 90 day money back guarantee if you decided you weren t interested.

If they were that good they wouldn t need to SPAM people. Everyone says they can make you a millionaire overnight, have the best pay plan, groundfloor opportunity, etc.There are good home based businesses that will allow you to replace that income. Just keep in mind that you will need to make a small investment and will have to put forth the effort to build your business.I can suggest a good opportunity for you to take a look at. It may or may not be for you. Email me if you want the info.

Absolutely there are legitimate businesses. I found one in May of this year and am only sorry that I did not find it sooner. Work at Home United has been the best thing for me. There is real money to be earned if you are willing to expend a little effort; the compensation plan far exceeds any other company out there. There is no selling involved, no holding inventory or delivering of products. This is a great business to develop online. Please check out my web site for more information! This might be exactly what you and your wife are looking for!
