IE...we build products and we get 100s of quoted per week. Well, some requests are so outlandish and some are so picky and not worth our time to respond. But some will call and be mad that we didn't acknowledge thier quote request. Sorry, I don't have time for people like this, too many MORE IMPORTANT BIG SPENDING CUSTOMERS to worry about. So, what do you do?

I'm just setting out with eBay. I have the merchandise (Lot of next to new womans clothes especially larger womans clothing) such as clothing, Mens, womans and children, collectables and crafts both next to new or nwot and nwt's. I don't have any idea what to do first. I have paypal but so far I've just used it to buy things on eBay. I need someone to guide me thru the entire process. Is there someone that wouldn't mind giving me a free hand or is there a group that will teach you what you need to do and in what order. I don't know if I have to open a store to do auctions or do I need to sign up for a merchant account to sell on eBay. Basicly I know how to buy but don't have a clue on how to sell. HELP!!!!

Does anyone know of companys in Ohio or near here, or where ever , that pays for stuffing envolopes for companys ,& making things like neckless,crafts etc.?? Also, I'm looking for cash for cash something like chain names by mailing $1-$6 per person & getting back that money by thousands who sent it. Not sure what this is called. If you know of any? I will not do surveys, they are a waste of time & i don't get anything from them. I will not pay too much to get started on any work at home job. Free or only up to $10-$15 to get started. I don't have much money, & i need to get some money coming in somehow to help my husband make ends meet. I have a hearing loss & jobs are hard to find. Now a days it takes two people to work!! Please help us find something! We don't want toooo much (reading directions) to get started on something. Only simple way to get started. God Bless You All!! Smile!!

Hi there.
I have a space that I just rented to open a store. I want to have vendors under me that pay me a monthly fee to have their products in the store. My insurance agent says I have to have them get product liability insurance first. THey don't like that and I am losing prospective vendors. I need them because I don't have enough money to buy tons of inventory on my own.

So can someone help me? I need a paper they can sign stating that they release me of any responsibility if they're products hurt someone after I sell it.

I really can't afford a lawyer and am running out of time.
Thanks

I have been working at a small business (cell phone service provider store/DISH network retail) for about a week now, and I have ONE co-worker. Our boss owns a few different of these stores, and is hardly ever at ours. Well, my co-worker (who my boss adores) is not only overbearing on her personal life to me ( her personal problems, such as custody of her step-daughter, relationship problems, etc.. ), but treats customers like pieces of garbage like it is a "privelage" to be in our store. From what I've seen, the customer satisfaction rating would be below 40%.
She also has spent a good 2% of her time training me, while being semi-productive, I still have no clue what to do and I start on my own Saturday.
So basically,
How should I go about telling her or my boss about this? I like the job a lot, but I really don't think I could handle all of that if it stays like this.

I heard a girl telling someone that she has gotten all kinds of free things over the internet....game systems, cameras, ipods, etc. I have looked every place I could think of, but all of them want you to subscribe to something, buy something, or start a trial of something that they want my credit card or banking routing number. Is there REALLY anyplace on the internet that you can get TRULY free things without any strings attached???

what id like to do or think may be the easiest would be to get some sort of wholesale list or somethign like that where i can get a ton of items that i can list on my web site or however i choose to do so and when someone (a customer) buys one they send the money to my account then i send or buy the item from the actual distributor. so in short i guess id be the middle man but that kind of what i have come up with so far. or a idea. i mean you see all these people on ebay selling the same items making good money and a ton of sales so where are they all getting these items from? and is ebay the best way to go?

keeps calling me and asking me the same questions about my marketing plan and income. I sense he has a fear of failure and he is trying to use my success as a gauge as to whether or not he will succed or not. I told him "there is not magic bullet and he just needs to make as many contacts with potential clients as he can. It's a contact sport when it comes to marketing a service business"

This guy calls me every 3 months and asks the same questions over and over as if I can tell him some secret to success. I really want to tell this guy to stop calling me. Some folks will not "pull the trigger". They will talk and talk and talk and will never do anything to change there lives. Any advice on what to tell this guy?


By the way I think this guy is 50 y/o
