Here's another way for buyers to con sellers in eBay; Let's say I am selling a purple widget, and I set it up as a 99p auction, but with a "buy it now" of £20. So, a buyer comes along and makes a 99p bid.  The option to "buy it now" disappears.  That buyer then [...]

I just got an invitation to sign up for a Paypal Debit Card.  Should be much better to be able to spend paypal funds without having to draw it down to the bank account first. Having had a look at the FAQs it seems it's a pre-paid card offered by Mastercard, which is directly linked [...]

My car insurance was up for renewal, and I was expecting my premium to come down a little bit due to having an extra years no-claim bonus.  In fact, my present insurers renewal was £440 – UP £100 from last year! Well, I did not feel that this was fair, so went to go compare [...]

Anyone who has followed this blog for a while will know that at one point I was quite into "Internet Marketing". This came as a by-product of my AIS (automated income stream) invention.

OK, so it's been a few years since this blog was really rocking, so my idea is to get this blog going again.  How to do that?  Well, it's pretty easy, just make a post every day. But what to blog about?  I don't really want to use the blog to sell things as there [...]

About 6 weeks ago I was browsing in a shop, the shop sells fairly expensive sporting items.  Had a nice chat with the owner who advised me what I should buy and we went on to have a bit of a chat.  At the time I didn't have enough cash on me, so thanked him [...]
