Getting refunds for lost items shipped with Fedex and UPS is the worst i've ever seen.

Can somebody please explain to me what kind of an archaic system does Ebay have here. Fedex lost two of my packages in late November. UPS lost two (possibly 3) of my packages a few weeks ago. It's impossible to get refunded through Fedex/UPS sites be...

Resolved! Sellers Should Target Seniors. They are Richer Than You Think!

When listing your "stuff" on eBay you should target Canadian seniors. They are richer than you think. This month the federal government is sending "Old Age Security" cheques with a $1.13 increase (from $563.74 to $564.87). Let's all go for it!
