For people who run cafes? -

Do you enjoy running a cafe? are you sucessful in your bussiness? is is hard to and do you make a fair amount of proffit?

I know a friend of mine looked into that business and in reality it depends on the area your cafe would be located and how many other existing cafes there are nearby.For example, I live in Canada and there is a Tim Horton s Coffee Shop on every corner in the town I live in. It would not make sense at all to open a cafe because there is already a well known competition to compete against.I would say you can open a cafe but you have to find something to go with it, you can t just have a cafe. Look for something that seperates you from the rest, like a beauty parlor/cafe or a pet-cafe (open to people with animals so they can enjoy a coffee and you could sell dog treats or something). You need to find something that sets you apart from all the rest of the stores around you and you need to find a very nice location.

Can the buyer get his money? (ebay)? -

i sold a item on ebay, and i think the package was lost, but i called the post office, and there gonna look for it.so if they can t find do i have to give the buyer his money back?i have a tracking number to show that i shiped it.there was no insurance put on it.

What does the tracking # show? As a seller you are responsible for the item getting to the customer. If the item doesn t arrive either you refund the full amount or paypal forces a refund. Insurance protects the seller in the event of lost or damaged items. If they loose the package the usps will not re imburse you.

Just from my personal opinion, you shouldn t be charged. If you shipped the item like you said and your responsibility was your Post Office should reimburse you. When you signed for the package to be sent off, you should have only had to pay for insurance if the package was over a certain weight. Check out the receipt. I m sure your Post Office hasn t lost it though.

Yup your stuck;(

What do people usually charge/pay for bookkeeping consulting? -

I did bookkeeping going through college at a supermarket for an hourly rate I wouldn t touch with a ten foot pole now, but what do people charge outside of hourly retail? A personal trainer wants me to help streamline her bookkeeping, unsure yet if it s a one time or continuous thing. Any ideas would be appreciated.

You have two questions to answer ... what is the market rate and what is your time worth. They are not necessarily the same thing.Market rate will depend on education skill and experience. A CPA firm may charge a couple hundred an hour while the local bookkeeping service may only charge $20 per hour. Call a couple of local services and ask what they charge. It will cost you 30 minutes of your life.Lots of times in situations like you describe the person asking is really looking for something for nothing. They want you to do it for a very low rate because the don t have money to start with. As you go they add extra tasks but assume it is all inclusive. Be clear on the scope and fees and really take the time to understand what your time is worth.

I run a bookkeeping business. I have 4 years experience with a specialization in payroll, 2 year college course in accounting and business. I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour no problem. I m currently studying for the CPB designation and after that I ll more then likely up my hourly rate by $10-$15 and know I won t have a problem getting that amount.

You can charge between 20 and 100 per hour. Remember, it is really about your experience and what people believe you can help them with.

What are the courier services that ship to australia from u.s.a. via sea/ocean and have flat rates? -

Here are some forwarding companies you might want to look into (including the one that I use.) http://www.BongoUS.com - Great technology, great customer service, great prices. This is who I use now.

No flat rates....... Yet it depend on what the size of your package (it could be freight..) Best deals on shipping if you are in USA, Canada, or UK is with the postal service (EMS).. USPS in US.. they have the best rates for shipping to australia (30-50% cheaper).. Have a great day ..

no one has flat rates - depends on what each package weighs and possibly it s dimensions

Is PayPals Payflow Pro payment gateway good? -

Is it good ? I heard if you sign up for the gateway service, you also get a PayPal account.... just wondering how reliable their gateway service is, and how the linked PayPal account works in taking payments from individuals PayPal accounts. Thanks.

very good!!

It works well and is quite reliable. If you are going to be dealing with larger international transactions for companies/corporations, you may want to consider using a company such as global collect.
