Nature of business question? -

I was wondering for a school project, what is the nature of business of a house swapping business?? For example: http://homeaway.comThanks! :)

okay i ve never heard of a house swapping business. i visited that website but just skimmed though it. it looks like if people have additional property they can post it online to that website so people looking to vacation can rent your stuff. the nature would be like tourism. pretty good idea if you think about it. people need money these days and if you ve got the goods in the right place(s), you can make a little extra on the side. but of course leasing it for the long term would be ideal as it would yield a consistent return.

Why wont Ebay let me put in $4.95 for shipping when thats what the Priority Mail envelope Costs? -

I don t understand it. I select the Priority Mail Envelope that is 4.95 to send and they don t allow it. They want me to lose money?

It depends on what you re shipping. If it s books or media like cds or dvds, they have limits because of the gouging of mail prices from sellers. They have been jacking up prices for years so ebay put a 3.00 limit on media like cds and dvds, and 4.00 on books. Your best way to send these items is to list as sending it media mail and when you get to the post office, go for media or first class, whichever is cheaper. Most other things don t have limits - YET!! So I m guessing you re talking about one of these items since they do limit shipping prices on them.By the way, you can say yourself a lot of trouble and loss of money if you want to send things priority by using the shipping calculator that ebay recommends.
