I agree, that seems not right if that is the case.
No, I assume he is using the Amazon Market and that is the charge for them listing it and collecting the payment and such.

Probably cheaper to sell it on Craig's list or eBay even.

It is, yeah, but I've been told that Amazon offers the best protection for sellers.

You're right.

It sounds much more hygienic if you just remove the fish.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was confused cause he said he was selling it directly....or that was my interpretation.

Yeah, list it here!

You'll probably sell it right away.

I did, along with the link to Amazon, but I have no idea what protection I have selling through PayPal.

If you're able to do your own PHP pages or whatever on your WWW server, you can validate the transaction to ensure the person really -did- pay before giving them access when they return from PayPal. Or you can just simply make them wait 5 minutes and send them an email once you've confirmed the transaction.

Nohmi2,

Let's hope with all the money being paid into the NBN infrastructure it'll result in superior speeds overall along with a drop in prices or an increase in the monthly quotas.

Bah! 75mm in 2 days? "Solid"? You're in North Queensland, that's like a sun shower for you, isn't it?

If I was living in Townsville or Tully, sure thing... however up here inland it's quite dry as a general rule. All that rain that's been pounding the coast the last couple of days fell short of here by about 50km. .... something else to vent about

Oh, well, fair enough then. (I think Noosa Heads ended up with only 40-50mm of it)

We did get enough to stop me painting the house - oh how mad I was to not be allowed to paint the house

I've been too busy lately anyhow trying to sort out all these new WWW sites and such for the release of our book... seems like a never ending job.

As far as I know, we don't charge a fee to list!

No, we only have an overseer who makes sure all entries are kept in check
