I just recently sold my first item on eBay and I accept PayPal payment only. I always see people's auctions with "will send payment upon payment CLEARING." How exactly do I know if the payment has cleared? Is it by looking at paypal.com and seeing that under STATUS for the transaction it says "Completed"? Does that mean it has cleared? I received an e-mail from PayPal that says "Notificiation of an Instant payment received." Does that mean it has cleared as well.

For future reference, does my PayPal balance as seen on home page of PayPal indicate ALL CLEARED FUNDS?

First of all, I have an outstanding Auto Loan that is $9,986.11; original amount of this loan was $17,677.51 with interest rate of 3.9% and I started paying this since 2004.
On my second loan I have $606.37 left; original amount of this loan was $1,500 with interest rate of 12.0% Which I started paying in November 2005.
I have been religiously paying on these loan because they are always taken straight out of my paycheck by my bank and I have never missed a payment. Also I used to have a $22,298 loan which was completely paid off in 2003.
I am 24yrs old, I have a $10,000 savings account and I am making about $24,000 a year.
Now, I don't know what my credit score is, but I'm thinking of getting a credit card for emergencies and I soon want to go on a vacation which is 3 years overdue. Is it possible that I can get at least $5,000 limit on a credit card? Or can I get more than $5,000 credit limit?
Please Help. Thank you beforehand.

At my company we are allowed to take 3 days of paid bereavement leave when a family member dies. I took a day off to go to my grandma's funeral and then found out that "bereavement leave" comes out of your sick leave! Is this typical?

I have just started to work in my local shop, the owner says that I have to buy an apron/tabard to protect my clothing. I am quite tall and I don't know what to get all I know is it has to be dark blue! It's a 50/50 split on what the other staff wear!

If you think I should wear an apron do you think I should tie it behind my back or in front? Or do you think a tabard would be better.

My last day of work is coming up and I want to tell everyone off in a special way.

Some background information:

1. The job is Marshalls, basic retail, picking up crap, etc.
2. The job is low-paying, my first job, irritating hours, and completely thankless
3. My next job will most likely be a work-study job at UF, so I don't really care about maintaining a positive image of my stint at Marshalls.
4. The managers and an assortment of obnoxious chicks with attitudes have been annoying the hell out of me for the entire stay there.

One of the things I was gonna do was to fill opened condoms with soap and leave them in various places in my nemesis's area.

Keep in mind, this last day I have is worth about twenty bucks.

I was wondering if it would be easier to have it at my house or at my fiancees house. I live on a dirt road but the main road is on more than 75 feet from my house. My fiancee lives in town and he thinks more people would come there. I was also wondering if it would be a good idea to try to maybe sell limonade or something too. I've never tried that before so I really dont know. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I was wondering if it is hard to get a Target Card. I'm 18, I have no credit history whatsoever, but I want to start building a credit history. I love target and know it would be a good store for me to have a card at. But since I have no credit history, should I even try applying for one or do you think I would just be rejected?
