Would like to make some extra cash without having to pick up another hob. Just curious on what some people do to make some extra cash. I'm good with computers and would like it if I can do something online, but all suggestions are welcome :)

I do alot of online shopping (mostly from Amazon) so I get quite a few deliveries a week, mostly from UPS. I am familiar with the online tracking option that UPS uses and I've found it to be accurate (as far as delivery estimation and places my orders have been prior to delivery).

But recently I've ordered some merchandise off eBay and the seller uses FedEx to ship orders. I was given a tracking number and the FedEx website to check in on my order.

I noticed that once the package gets to a certain point it stops giving any new information on the status of the package.

For example the website will read basically:

JULY 15th
6:46pm - July 14th - Left Origin
5:06pm - package data transmitted to FedEx
4:35pm - Arrived At FedEx Location
2:05pm - Picked Up

JULY 22nd
12:05pm - Package Delivered

There is quite a jump there. A week to be exact where the package doesn't even seem to be moving then BAM, it's on your doorstep.

Why is it set up like this?

10 month ago I returned some auto parts after getting a RMA number. Subsequently I received an email that my credit card had expired and that they can not refund the money ($355) to that credit card. I provided another credit card number. I have been calling and emailing them every few weeks and they keep saying they are going to refund but nothing has happened yet. They have no address on their site but they are a huge company. What can I do?

I want to know the formal name, in the army or in a corporation, when a person located on lower level skips one or several superiors and talks to someone with whom (s)he has a closer relationship or who is more manipulable (since the higher up people are the less they know about the working details), to get things done by command.
What possible problems come out of this? What possible solutions are there?

I have been selling fabric and sewing stuff on ebay and I have listed world wide and relied on the PO and driven down to calculate postage. But there must be an easier way ? Maybe not maybe only for big business on ebay ? Like I have a customer who wants it shipped the cheapest way to Canada and I don't know how to do it. I have been a million times to the USPS site, please dont send me there unless you give step by step. I would love a chart or rate chart or choices or ?? and so often USPS won't list the cheapest way. I would love to do via paypal and many sellers ship over seas and the fabrics I'm selling are more popular and they will pay more worldwide, have pity on me and help me please :) if you know how, not guessing please
