after further thinking on this matter and calling my member of parliament work to rule will be coming soon, as the industry will dictate i will just have to suck it up with Canpar UPS, Purlator till then, and in some cases, make no money at all on each sale i will advocate all my customers to do the same and when i sell something i will ask if any the couriers delivery to their addresses if none then will ask them to cancel the order if they don't then have to use address undelivable clause - boy does this suck

I hear you. I started to terminate most of my actuions. They'll be all gone by the end of the weekend.
And then, if I get a sale, see what I can do to switch delivery options. I don't want to change the shipping policy just yet....Hopefully this debacle won't last more than two weeks.

I finally was able to find work that starts on Sunday and this Stirke happens and any funds that I was going to raise towards bills now is not going to happen now and Ebay is just going to bill me for anyone that claims they didn't get tehir money or will not buy or will cancel transactions so there goes any money that I had towards bills due soon. I'm pretty much screwed and not sure how i'm going to raise any other money in the next couple weeks towards bills. I really hope this strike ends soon or i'm pretty much done for it unless i can raise some additional funds some other way,

I hear you. I have some inventory I can liquidate tomorrow (instead of trying to sell it), and that's what I'm going to do to buy food next week. Thing about coins, silver, banknotes, etc, is if you're not trying to make money, you can quickly get money for them. I removed a bunch of silver from my store last night, and more today.
