Be realistic when purchasing used items. People have different definitions of quality and condition. Remember, just because the seller says the item is in "like new" condition, doesn't mean you will feel the same way. A 25 year old item is likely to have some wear and tear so don't be overly critical of the item when you receive it. Take the condition of the item into account BEFORE you place your bid.

Business-to-business lead generation is one of the few times in life when you should start at the end and work backwards.Before you write a single line of copy or design a single element of your direct mail package, sit down with the sales people who close the sales. Find out when and how they get prospects to sign on the line that is dotted, and work backwards from there to discover what you need to do to capture the attention of these prospects in the first place and get them
Know Your Seller...
This, by far, is the most important research you must do before placing your bid on eBay. Getting to know a little about your seller before you bid on their item will make for a much smoother purchase.
1) Review the seller’s feedback and member profile.
Check the seller's eBay feedback before you make a bid. The feedback rating will give you a good idea about the trustworthiness of your trading partner. One or two neutrals or negatives can be overlooked due to the fickle nature of some buyers, however if a trend of poor service or item quality comments is visible you may want to avoid the seller entirely. If a seller has no feedback or negative feedback, contact the seller before bidding to get a feel for their customer service.
2) Ask the seller questions.
Email the seller with questions by clicking the “Ask seller a question” link. If you have won an item, you can request the seller’s contact information to get more information.
3) Review the seller’s policies on shipping, payments and returns.
Shipping and handling – Review shipping and handling charges before you bid, and ask to have your item shipped and insured in a traceable manner. Avoid sellers who either won't disclose or charge exorbitant shipping charges.
Payment – Consider paying with PayPal or with a credit card, as most offer 100% consumer protection. Be careful when sellers only accept one form of payment, especially when the seller requests cash. NEVER PAY WITH CASH and use caution when paying with cash equivalents such as wire transfers.
Returns – Examine the seller's return policy carefully before you bid. Contact the seller before you bid with any questions about the return policy. Some questions you might ask include how long do you have to return the item, who pays shipping and handling, and under what circumstances can you return the item.
Know your item...
Read the description fully. Most misunderstandings result from buyers not carefully reading the item description in the auction listing. Use caution if the price is significantly lower than similar auction items. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Review the item condition, whether it is new or used, and any damage described.

The quote – though originally badly misspelled – is from Meriwether Lewis, upon finally seeing the Pacific Ocean. Through a long and twisty branch of our family tree, I get to claim this brave explorer as a relative.What do we have in common? Frankly – not a whole lot. Captain Lewis was unbelievably brave to set out to explore the western two-thirds of our nation. I thought I was pretty brave last month to take off alone for San Francisco for a Klemmer & Associates seminar. Lewis was appointed t

If you’ve been in business very long, you’ve likely heard it all! You know, the irate customer who is going to sue you over the nineteen dollar product that they claim is bogus; the one that’s going to “shut your business down” because they conjure up in their minds that you might have breeched your privacy policy, or the one that takes complete advantage of your money-back guaranty. My favorite has to be the one that calls and screams vulgarities into the phone for apparently no reason.It doe

If you own a franchise you should be in contact with your nearest franchisees and share information as if you were the manager of a corporate store. You should set up meetings once or twice per month and have their phone numbers logged into your speed dial for easy reference.You should learn from the experiences of your fellow franchisees. For example, let’s say you found out your next-door franchisee neighbor as a certain type of customer and you are starting to see a few of these types of cus

Anytime we assume that all people are functioning at the same level behaviorally and emotionally in the workplace, we are sure to be surprised. Surprised when we encounter a co-worker who responses to what we thought was a simple comment with an emotional outburst that resembles that of an eight-year-old rather than a thirty-year-old.Although emotionally immature employees can be a cause for difficulty at any level according to Sherry Buffington, Ph.D., as they progress up the organization the g
