Business & Finance - 31 January 2007

My husband is an eBay buyer/seller. With all of his great reviews he just got one bad one. We always thought shipping and handling were the same--a cost that was added together.

[For example: Shipping and Handling: $8.00 NOT Shipping: $4.00 Handling: $4.00]

He was going to purchase a magazine for what he thought was $1.00 w/ no shipping [the main reason he was going to buy it] but later found in small writing the eBay Seller was going to charge him $5.00 in handling. I guess we just don't understand.

Would someone please explain this to me. I just don't understand because I just don't have knowledge in postal services. Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE my job. But I have only been here for three months, and I found out that the severe back and shoulder pain that I have had for the last four years is linked to my large chest. Now I am approved for surgery that will have me on rest for two weeks following. I am the receptionist, and this means that covering the front desk when I'm gone is extremely hard to do. But my back pain has had me laid up in bed for days sometimes is pain so bad I'm brought to tears and pain killers won't help. I know I need this surgery. But I don't know how to break the news to my boss!! Any advice???

I have a 1st mortgage with HFC ($257k) and a 2nd mortgage with American General (15k). The house has been appraised at $315k. If HFC forecloses, who pays American General? Am I responsible for any payments after a foreclosure?

Ever since I started getting a yearly tax refund, I would always receive $200 to $500 back when I got my taxes done. Last year, I went to get them done and I suddenly owed over 1000 bucks. I didn't get any increase in pay or change jobs, so how do I suddenly owe money when I didn't do anything different compared to last year?

Alright, I'm a social undergrad with a nice GPA and 4 years of managerial training already under me. I am considering becoming a business major. I was wanting to have a social job where I could make some nice money and work hard.

I've considered becoming a teacher (too low of pay), college instructor (no job security)and a plethora of other careers. I've concluded that I'd like to have something social, not cutthroat, and I could make a decent living and still have a life.

Any ideas?

I had a $1200 medical bill. I have paid $500 over the past 2 years to the Dr's office. Now a collection agency is calling me. They will not allow me to make my low payments. What will happen if I just continue to pay the Dr's office?

Now that McDonald's accepts debit/credit cards, I was wondering if its in-restaurant donations for Ronald McDonald House Charities have gone down. I don't usually carry cash anymore because I use my debit card everywhere, but when I went to McDonald's, I would get cash out. I used to drop my change from the McDonald's meal in the canisters. Now that it accepts debit cards, I use that instead of cash, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I was just wondering if anyone knows if this has affected in-restaurant donations.
