Too all Florists..What do you do when you have a bad week and? -

have too many flowers left over. Asking because I thinking of opening a florist and I am curious what to do if this happens.

I used to work for the corporate office of a floral company. I m not a florist, but whenever I receive flowers, after they lose their appeal, I choose the floral fragrances that compliment one another, dry them, cut them up and put them in decorative clear bowls, vases or bags with bows and make potpourri for my home. You could probably do this with left over flowers and sell them in your stores. You could also dry some of the flowers and arrange them to make dry floral arrangements for your store or home. Also, you could put them in shadow boxes or frames on a wall for instant natural art. Be very careful with dried potpourri, art and floral arrangements around your children and pets. Some flowers, plants and leaves can be toxic. Check the site below. It does not list all of the flowers, but there are quite a few on it.

Well, I m no florist but if their about to die sell them real cheap over the weekend or give them away to family or friends if you think you can afford it.

Ebay question. Once you have paid for an item youve won....? -

Do you then own it even though it s still in the sellers posession? Can they cancel it?

Technically yes you own it - the same as you own the dishwasher you have bought from Dixon that they haven t delivered yet.The seller is able to cancel an auction after it s been paid for due to not having the item anymore but if this has happened to you, contact Ebay and report the seller as technically they are not allowed to do this. Good luck.KD

Unless something has changed with ebays rules: the seller is obligated to deliver the item they sold once payment has been made. If they do not, you can report them to ebay and they could be banned from ebay altogether. It s like any other financial transaction. After you make the payment the item belongs to you.

In theory you own it and are just awaiting delivery to your home. In fact, it is not unknown for ebayers who have not achieved the price they want to conveniently damage or lose the item and you get your money returned (which is the last thing you want if you are looking forward to getting a nice near new laptop at a super bargain price!)

OK, thank you

Is it a waste of time selling on eBay at the minute...? -

I have loads of quality Stuff to sell on eBay but I have noticed at the minute the prices Stuff fetches is peanuts.. Then eBay wants its cut for selling it... Then Pay-pal wants its cut for handling the transaction....You can sell stuff and be out of pocket..Why bother????Has eBay had its day and will it still exist in 10 Years time.Thank you for you answers (If I get any) Have a great day

Just saw a guy from ebay on TV trying to justify the policy of users not now being allowed to sell an item with a separate postal charge. He was like a worm on a hook!From what the guy was saying, ebay is interested in businesses selling rather than individuals.So, if you have a business small or large and can offset the postage pricing or cuts that others take somehow, then ebay is the way for you.As a private or casual seller, it may well be that ebay no longer supports your needs.Ebay survival? If they continue the way they are then they will only survive for use by businesses that can afford to use the service . For the casual seller though, ebay seems to be on its last legs - if not death bed.

Currently with most things forcing sellers to have free postage and then ebay taking fees it doesn t always work out well for the seller. All depends on what you are selling. Many sellers also still state they will charge postage.With it getting nearer to Christmas many more will be buying on ebay, making it the perfect time to sell. However, as always, people are looking for a bargain and you will probably have more competition.Ebay certainly isn t as good as it used to be and in many cases it works out better to sell elsewhere, but there are still many things that you can sell on ebay for a decent price. You can never be sure what something will sell for though - you might be surprised

Depends what you are selling .. in my opinion ebay now has so many idiots willing to pay over high street prices that a lot of stuff is no longer cheap ... At the same time, the Chinese have worked out that they can sell electronic goods at half UK high street price, ship direct to UK and still make a profit ... (I suspect that some stuff , such as DVD/CD s, have manufacturing costs in the low pence .. as usual the UK consumer is ripped off by the the UK high street (where the price you pay is 90% profit tax)So - if you want to make a profit, DON T sell stuff made in China :-)

Yes I think it is a waste of time, especially DVD s and CD s as you are not allowed to charge postage on the them so you are out of pocket from sending the items as wellWould rather give stuff away on freecycle than line ebays and paypals pocketsOr use Ad-mag as they are free to list with

Well it depends what stuff you are trying to sell. You can check ebay for auctions that have been completed to see what your stuff actually sold for. (its in advanced search options)You are right, they all take a cut. You can avoid paypal fee if they send a money order. But they stick you with the fee for its convince.You could always try to post it locally for free (craigslist.com) to see if that nets you any hits. Then try ebay as your last resort.Ebay will be around for awhile I think. The good thing about ebay is almost anyone/anywhere can buy it from you, so it reaches out to more people. But like I said it all depends on what your selling.

I ll agree that the way eBay is treating it s sellers is pretty sucky these days. I ve moved into other avenues of Internet income in part for that reason. The company is struggling to deal with an increasingly negative image from the public caused by unscrupulous sellers. Who doesn t know someone who s had it stuck to them on eBay?That said, eBay has always been a discount market. In spite of all the low priced books, music, clothes and other things, it s never been very practical to sell anything for under $10. Because of the time it takes to create and submit an item description, higher priced items are the best bet. I know industrial machinery sellers who regularly turn a $20K profit on a single item with maybe $15K invested. Auto parts guys are cleaning up stripping old wrecks and engines for parts. And if you have a quantity of identical items, you can sell them store-style without doing new ads, but you still have to watch those fees.There are more shoppers on eBay than ever before. If you are selling the right item for the right price you re making money. You can t easily make a worthwhile profit if you re buying at regular wholesale prices, though. You ve got to find deals on liquidation or auction stock. Many times I ve paid $50 for a case of something in a live auction that brought me over $500 sold individually on eBay. As an old flea market guy once told me You make your money when you buy .

Anyone who knows the best home based business? I need alternative plans or online business..? -

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.

Everyone thinks theirs is the BEST! My best advice to you is to never stop researching or you will never find it. There s gonna be some good ones and there s gonna be some bad ones. But only one will be a MATCH for you so hang in there, Have Fun and Good Luck! ps: yahoo doesn t want us to put sites in answers regarding this category.

The best home based business is a matter of opinion and what type of business suits your personality. For my opinion on what is the best check out the 2nd link in my profile.

Owner is letting a valuable small business go to waste... anything can be done? -

I know someone who works for a small tech company that has developed a very valuable technology. The company has a patent and at least a 2 year lead on any possible competition, with a huge potential market. I d say its worth $10-15 million if it were to be bought by a large company or competitor and exploited to its full potential. They only have a few employees and maybe $1 mil annual gross profit and almost no liquid assets.The problem is that the owner is old, set in his ways and not very tech savvy. He is letting the technology go to waste by poor marketing, an outdated business model, rudely dismissing away any potential allies or partners, etc. His ambition seems to be to suck the company dry of what little value it currently holds without any ambition to capitalize on its huge potential.The young employees are full of energy and highly skilled in a very specialized field, and they are convinced that they could do much better given the chance, but even if they pool all their resources, they don t have the capital needed to buy the owner out.What, if anything, can be done?

Go to an Angel investor for the rest of the money that s needed to buy out the owner.Or, try and borrow what ever you need using the combined collateral of everyone who is interested.

Hostile takeover? Venture capalist? Force him out?
