Ebay/paypal help with sending an item ive sold? -

so i ve sold three items and i printed the shipping labels (from paypal) and i went to the post office and they wouldn t send them unless i payed for the postage and the box but i dont get it, i paid for the shipping label through paypal, what should i do? do i have to buy the box and postage? because i thought they were supposed to be free, help?

You are correct; done that several times, without any trouble. When they weigh items, they can charge excess, if it is warranted. Suggest you try another Post Office. You can claim back unused postage from Paypal; not sure about the time limit. Would be an idea to email Paypal about the problem.

What certificates and qualifications do I need to open a small shop and cafe? -

My partner is Polish and she and a friend want to open a shop selling Polish food with a small cafe serving homemade Polish food

First of all you don t say where you are, but the main points are.You need to find to right location and premises first. Then apply for Planning Permission with all the appropriate design plans.If you are selling food you will have to comply with all the Food Regulations, Health Safety, Hygiene and obtain certificates of competence from the Local Council. All your staff will have to hold certificates in training and food preparation.You must have a good grounding in food storage and refrigeration and chilling.You also need various licences for some types of food, especially if you are importing them.And that s before opening the door!

Assuming you re in the UK, contact your local Business Link for free help and advice on strating up.It depends on the type of premises that you take on whether you need planning permission for change of use.You ll need food hygiene certificates and to be in touch with your local Environmental Health people. (Make friends with them and they can help you a lot. Ignore them and they ll close you down in a heartbeat!) Business Link is very good on food hygiene.You ll also need business insurance. There are companies that specialise in insuring the catering industry. Business Link should have some names for you.Good luck!

Your local councils website will give you all that informationIt will probably include policies and certificates for - health and safety, food hygiene, public liability insurance and maybe more

Is there any quite simple way to make money online or otherwise. ireland? -

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.

Ebay question - has your ebay selling gone really quiet? -

i seem to get lots of watchers and then bids - the other day i was selling a dolls house had 21 watchers and only got the one bid - tonight i was selling something else with 6 watchers and ended with no bids this is happening all the time - why do people watch when they have no intention of buying - are people buying on the high street and not on ebay this year? by now the previous years my christmas rush would have begun - i m still waiiting.....whats your experience?

I think you need to realise that there are more than one reason for people to watch an item :-They may be a prospective buyer but there are more than one of the item for sale so they put them all on watch and see how the prices go.They may have a similar item that they want to sell so are getting a feel for the likely price they would get.They may have a similar item and are just interested to know what it is worth.Over the last few days i have had half a dozen mens watches on watch (no pun intended), they were all different but i would be happy with any of them. The first 2 went higher than i wanted to pay, the next went for more than it was worth, i bought the 4th.I dont think there is any switch from ebay buying to high street buying as such, but all retailers are competing hard for sales and there are some very good bargains in the high street. If Argos for the sake of argument is advertising mens electric shavers at 50% off, why would you buy a s/h one on ebay for say 40% of previous new cost when for just a few quid more you can get a new one with warranty from Argos?One thing that i have consistently noted in my 4 years on ebay is how poor many peoples listing are. when you think about it, ebay is a strange place, you bid on an item you have not seen, from a seller you will never meet, and YOU have to send your money away first - then cross your fingers.When i sell, i look at my item and think what would I want to know if i was wanting to buy one of these? What i would want to know is probably what a prospective buyer also wants to know so i make sure my listing is as informative as possible.
