Does anybody know where I can purchase this on a Sunday? It is urgent and I cannot think straight. I need any kind of packing material for a shipping box! HELP!
Thanks ahead of time.
Kinkos-Fed Ex is open with that; Office Depot etc carries some packing material; Target has some as well (probably Walmart too)

What is the best tool to manage my ebay sales with?
What software/tool can i use to manag my ebay sales?
Ill be selling the same 4-5 items so it will get confusing as ill be (hopefully) selling hundreds of them. What tools/software can you recommend that make it easier to list items, print shipping labels, track sales etc?
I am really happy with Auctiva - the price is right (free!) and it has a nice inventory management feature to do exactly what you're looking for. It can be a little slow sometimes, though.
Another option is Seller Sourcebook - I haven't used it myself as I only post about 5-10 items per week, but I know PowerSellers who rave about it. I think it costs about $10/month or so.
You can use one of ebay's selling tools.
At the top of ebay's homepage click on Site Map. Scroll down to Selling Tools. Choose Selling Manager, Selling Manager Pro or Turbo Lister. Which ever one is better for what you would like to do. I recommend Selling Manager Pro because you can automatically list and relist items and leave feedback automatically. You can always use paypal bulk shipping tool to print out your shipping labels in bulk.

Do i have to sell what i won?
i have hospital bills, need to pay..
do you think its okay to sell it?
i just won a digital camera.
was it ok to sell or it will cut your luck if you sell what you won... was it true?
Sell the camera and pay your bills. There is nothing worse than the drowning feeling of debt. Not to mention what it will do to your credit rating. If you have a way to pay off or pay down your hospital bill, take it.
You were lucky enough to win a way to pay a bill, the camera won't be missed, neither will the interest fees or the stress of the hospital bill.
There's no such thing as luck, it's kind of a joke, or story. Don't worry about it.
Sell it, bills are more important than worrying about luck.
sell it
yes

Would you please answer my ebay question?
Go into my questions and look for the other question.
Okay...
Okay...
Question about Reselling?
So, this just popped into my head and I was wondering if it was legal. Most businesses get their products from distributors across the country, and this is a variation of that.
Say you start a business(not online) based upon reselling items the same way except the way you collect those items to resell is by places like Ebay/craiglist, or more reputable online
distributors like Newegg.ca and others(collecting receipts and what have you for these items also).
Any ideas on how or if that is legal?
yes

Will I win this small claim, customer refuses to pay me for freelance job?
I am a graphic designer. I accepted a freelance contract to put together a publication for small publishing company for $1500 (worth 3k industry standard but I needed the money).
I had them sign a simple contract. They failed to fulfill several of the agreements. They were late in paying the "starting fee". The duration to complete the project was reduced. They were terribly disorganized and unprofessional, sending me material up to the night of the deadline, never providing a proper master list etc. They had me ship directly to printer without reviewing/approving it themselves (despite my recommendation).
As a result, 1 editorial was omitted that I had received and should have included. I was notified of this after sending the first 30 days past due billing notice. I responded at that time, explaining what must have happened and apologizing. Now after more than 60 days past due they have failed to pay and demand I discount my price. I feel that they were equally responsible for the error, and I fulfilled my obligations under the contract. I completed the job as agreed even with the reduced deadline. There were no specifics on accuracy/quality etc.
If I go to small claims what are my chances of winning? I've been told by the better business bureau that I met my obligation, despite the omission (since there was nothing in the contract) but I'm worried this will get dragged out and I'll never get my money.
I can't afford an attorney. Does anyone know of free legal resources (online or otherwise) that can help small business owners?
First, I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice.
Second, it's impossible to predict what can happen in court; even lawyers will tell you that.
However, I do have 35 years of writing, editing, and publishing experience--newsletters, magazines, etc.
OK. Most of what you describe has no bearing on the issue.
The key sentence in your question is: "They had me ship directly to printer without reviewing/approving it themselves (despite my recommendation)." It was their responsibility to review what you sent the printer. It sounds as if they waived that responsibility. If so, then you should be off the hook. Additionally, didn't the printer provide a blueline or PDF proofs to them? If so, that would further strengthen your case, but even without that, if they declined to review the material, then the responsibility is on them.
As a side note, if you're discounting $3,000 jobs to $1,500 and don't have enough money for a lawyer (look, you can get some legal coverage from outfits like PrePaid Legal for about $40 a month), then you might want to rethink your current career path. You're probably an excellent designer, but it takes business savvy--and the guts to stand up to toxic clients--to stay in business.
Good luck.
Yes you will win, but you will need a lawyer because if you do it your self, it will drag out. I filed for a small claim and tried to deal with it myself but it dragged out for 2 years. I got a lawyer and he took care of it in 4 months. I garnished their wadges and finally got my money back.
Also it depends on if they owe more than you will pay out of pocket to settle the case.
Good luck.
It is impossible to say without reading the contract. If you state clearly what you were being paid to do, and when you were to be paid, you should not need an attorny, and will likely win an uncontested settlement. However, that doesn't guarantee they will pay you, and good luck collecting from the deadbeats.
If I were you, I would negotiate with them on their offer to reduce the price and get this over with, and chalk it up to "lesson learned" because to pursue this is small claims court would cost you more in time and money than what they owe you...do the math...
Your time is worth money...when you do the math, you'll see that the best thing to do is try to be reasonable (even if you don't feel it) and get them to pay you by reducing the price...you've already lost too much in this situation, so let's not throw good money after bad...
That's what I would do...if I were you...(Son of an Attorney...that would be his recommendation...)
(Also: Don't ever let the customer or client see you act angry or say anything in anger...rule number one...always sound and "be" reasonable and accommodating (even when the situation makes you want to punch somebody in the nose...This is all advice my own Lawyer Dad gave me when I got out of college...)
First of all, I have to say that I am an attorney and I have to agree with some of the other comments. Specifically, there is no guarantee you will win. But it sounds like a pretty simple case because you are not getting paid for the work performed.
More importantly, I wanted to comment on the comments this thing can be dragged out over time and you need to hire a lawyer. I do not necessarily agree with that comment because Small Claims Courts are just that ~ courts for small claims. They are designed to handle these types of disputes in a quick and efficient manner. They are also designed for people to address these disputes without having to get a lawyer (this does not mean you can't get one, or the other side can't get one because they can).
I suggest you contact the local Justice of the Peace office for Fort Bend County. I am sure they are even on the web. When you call, they will tell you the method and manner of filing a small claims. You might be surprised how quickly this can get resolved. I am not saying it will be resolved in days, but it might take 60-90 days.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
