Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

What to sell? Well, anything that you've got in a good condition that you don't really use. DVD's, bikes, cushions, clothes (in bundles..i.e together all for girls or something).
And about how to sell it - well, look up on eBay how other people have advertised the same kind of thing your selling and the price they're doing it for. Try and do it like them but better. And be sophisticated...don't be desperate like LOOK HERE! Try and be different in your speaking style rather than AMAZING! ACTUALLY WORKS! Say "This item is amazing quality and it works incredibly well."
Y'no? :D
and packaging, you can get from your local post office.

• you can sell anything really! clothes are the best people always buy them i`m sure your mom would have lots of old clothing she no longer wants. I have even sold my broken ipod! Old phones are good too! start off by selling small things like old cds and stuff so you get used to it.
  
  First of all sign up. then in the top right corner of the screen, there is a sell button. Click on sell an item under it and follow the instructions. its sooo easy! once you have done that, go on my ebay (also in the top right corner) and go on active selling. Your listing will come up and you can see how many people have bidded! (if they have) .
  
  (if you go on the advanced selling choice at the start, you can see how many people have looked at your item, and there are more choices so you are more likely to sell! but it does take alot longer than the basic one! )
  
  you can get postage and packaging from the post office or even buy it on ebay!!
  
  Ooh and you will need to sign up to paypal so all the money you make will go straight to your bank account! www.paypal.com
  
  
  Good luck! this is exactly what i did and i have earned over £100 in months! its also really fun!

Formal and informal structures in an organisation ?

How can formal and informal structures of an organisation influence relationships within the organisation ?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The informal structure has more influence than the formal one. In the end organizations are always at the mercy of the goodwill of its employees. With employee support bad policies can succeed but without their support the best policies will fail.

• My experience with large manufacturing and engineering organizations are that they need and want a very formal organization structure. The employees want to know exactly who is the boss and who can tell them what to do.

• It depends on where you sending it to, what delivery option you want (what do you mean by "normal"?), and how much the package weighs. More info would be a big help in answering this question accurately.
• It should say so when you click the button for "More Details". If it doesn't say it then you will probably get the postage free.
• from amazon and not sellers it's free.

Hi, our Postman did deliver a parcel yesterday, saying he was not delivering 'post' only special deliveries. The Postman who lives opposite my Mum has not been into work for the past few days. So I think it will really depend on where you live and what the roads are like in your area.

They change over time.

1. Type in English, not some subverted txt-spk gibberish.
2. Typing in ALL CAPS is rude, as it is the same as shouting.
3. Careful when you hit the "Send" button on emails. Read it twice. Then read it again. Is the recipient correct? Did you really mean to "Reply to all..."?

Does the location affect Royal Mail delivery speeds?

Okay, I ordered something from eBay, and the seller is in the same city as me. Royal Mail's website says I should expect it in 3 days, should I expect it earlier?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Depends if the main 'hub' that the item is routed through is in the same city or not. It probably will be so you may get it sooner.

• It depends on the delivery service type (Second, First Class or Special Delivery). Most of the time locations do not play an important role in postage time as mails/parcels are transported by airplanes through the country.
  
  However, since you and the seller are in the same city, you can expect it to arrive earlier (probably 1 day earlier I guess).
  
  Hope this helps.

• 3 days is the standard time that Royal Mail allows for first class deliveries, whether they're in the same town or opposite ends of the country. If you have a major sorting office in your city and because it's coming from the same city, you may receive it sooner.

  0% 0 Votes
• No. I would 3 days is lot better. I believe it take more due to royal mail system. Even though in same city the item Still has to go in normal sorting Centre and then redirect back to a destination city.

What better and safer to trade to build capital to start a business; CFDs, spread betting, options or stocks?

I am just wondering, I am considering starting an Internet based business but don't have sufficient funds nor am I a programmer/desiger, so I want to pay someone to not only make my projects but to run the server management for me. I have £3,000 cash in savings, and I want to know which investment vehicle would be best out of options trading, i.e. call & puts, spread betting, CFDs or to just buy the stocks directly to raise the funds, say, £50-100k? Please help/advise. Thanks.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

you have just £3,000 cash in savings?? well, at least look at the bright side you don't have debt like most UK/USA citizens. As for options, spread betting or CFDs these are all leveraged trading products and you really need some £10,000 to stand a chance to turn it into £50k-100k (and even then you would have to get a good dose of luck as turning 10k into 50k is by no means a simple feat and you will need to have a trading system which works)

• In short, the only way 3k can turn 50k is through high leveraged trading, in other words, GAMBLING. You could lose ALL your 3k VERY EASILY. Is that what you are willing to risk?

Question about sending letter using Royal Mail Air Mail Service at Post Office?

I went to post office to post a letter and the total was £1.21 to netherlands from uk weighing 31 grams. It showed on weighing scale as 31 grams but when i came home it showed 1 gram on receipt which the post office gave me. And the staff applied a white sticky label which he printed from his computer not those traditional stamp. So is it fine as long as there is more than enough postage value on the letter or does it have to show accurate weight value on the white sticky label.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Don't worry, the accurate price is printed on the white label. It'll be fine.

They don't normally exagerate the delivery date, I have found them to be very accurate.

What can you do if your job offer letter is not honoured?

I was offered a salary increase after working for the company for 6 months. My manager took me in the office and said that the company isn't doing too well right now and that I wouldn't get it. He also said that if I wanted to leave they wouldn't have any problems. One month later the company started to employ more people but again no salary increase. What are my options? is this classed as breach of contract? is a offer letter contractual?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

No increase?
Not a lot you can do about it, salary increases are not guaranteed.

I've just had my salary cut by 20% (my last increase was in 2001). I'm just thankful I have a job.

Amazon Anti-scam methods? / selling items that are a email of information not a real object...?

hey, im new to the whole amazon buying/selling business, and i was wondering:

1.) Is it fine to sell stuff on amazon that isnt a physical object? like the customer would be purchasing information.

for example i was wondering could i sell xbox live gold membership codes, where once they had purchased the item and i had received the payment, i would just email them the code for them to enter on xbox live. would be this be ok?

2.) how would i avoid scammers? for example those people who say they never received their item when they did, considering i wouldnt be sending them anything in the post, would be via email, how could i track or have a record of me sending the email to them so they couldnt say they didnt receive it.

3.) what would i do if they said the xbox live code didnt work? which wouldnt happen considering i would not sell dodgy goods, they would be legitimate codes straight from microsoft, would i have to refund them? or how could i catch them out about lying? because i was lose alot of money if i had to refund them their money...

need some advice and information on this, before i make a move on actually going into this business economy on amazon.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I'm not sure you can legally resell Xbox Live codes. The terms of service require that the individual user register for the service at xbox.com, be 18 years of age or older, that only the registered individual can use the account, and that you cannot resell or redistribute the service. So regardless of how this business model could work logistically on Amazon, how exactly do you think you could legally resell the codes?
