You can without doubt avoid many scams with the payment method that you use, whether you are a buyer or a seller. eBay owns Paypal, and in most cases, Paypal is the payment method you should use.

As a buyer, if you are scammed or less than satisfied with the item when it arrives, you can dispute the charge easily, and demand a refund. The seller must reply and show proof that the item was shipped, or Paypal will return your funds to your account.

As a seller, you can shield yourself by only accepting Paypal. This will remove the chances of receiving a bad check or having the buyer dispute a credit card charge. Instead, they must dispute the charge through PayPal, and you of course will be able to provide evidence that you shipped the product.

Another frequent scam that buyers use is the bidding scam. This type of scam is run either with two separate eBay accounts - with one person in control of both of them, or with two friends with separate eBay accounts. A very small bid is placed on your item, using one account. This is followed by a very high bid, from the other eBay account. Before the bidding ends, the high bid is cancelled or withdrawn, leaving the low bid as the winning bid.

If you are an eBay seller, you can further protect your auctions by placing a notice on your auctions page declaring that you have the right to back out of the sale if you suspect potential fraud.More...http://loancollegerefinances.blogspot.com/




To identify a scam I have a very simple theory. This theory is based on my observation of online opportunities over a long period of time. There is a unique feature on all this scams. They promise to make you rich overnight or they promise to make you rich with very little effort. But really there is no such thing as quick money. I have never found an opportunity or a program that makes you rich overnight. They are all scams are they are lying. In real world you have to work hard, spend your hard earned money to make money. So, next time when you see a sales letter offering you to make you rich overnight just ignore it and look for another opportunity.

Now to the real question of is eBay a scam? No. does fraudulent activities happen on eBay? Yes it does happen. But, eBay has necessary safeguards to help you. eBay in fact helps both buyers and sellers. eBay has a mechanism which is tried and tested to counter fraudulent activities and that is the reason why prospective customers bombard eBay and that is the reason why sellers have made thousands of dollars. Even though it has a good mechanism in place to counter the fraudulent activities there are times some manipulators find a way inside eBay. There are times eBay customers receive mail from eBay that the particular seller from whom the customer bought the goods is a fake seller and offering refund.More...http://loancollegerefinances.blogspot.com/

anybody work for the CBD division of proctor and gamble? any insight would be great..

Producing the necessities of the bathroom and other everyday items, Procter and Gamble (PG) continues to be an excellent investment in all areas. With marginal competition and loyalty from its workers, PG will provide investors with an excellent opportunity to achieve high capital gains.

Elusive to negativity, Procter and Gamble continues to follow its high respectability with its amazing fundamentals presented each quarter. Over the last four earning reports PG had beat expectations in terms of EPS all four times and beat revenue estimates each time as well. The laud extends to the PG’s excellent margins in terms of revenue, profit, and operating margins, and especially there should be high praise for PG doubling the amount of total assets over one year for this flourishing company. The P/E remains solid at around 23 which is supported for some reluctant investors with a great dividend payout of 1.24.

PG also has the reputation of providing long term investors with a steady persistent growth without too much volatility. While PG did falter a bit during late 2000 to 2001, the situation remained dubious for all equities of all sectors. However, unlike some of these other equities, PG remained resilient and in a matter of a few years returned back to its record high of near 65 points: an almost 100% increase over about five years.

With an inevitable recession approaching in the coming months, stocks like PG, equities that rise during times of economic downturns, tend to be the best acquisition for investors wagering this storm. While some investors may argue that PG is at an all time high and may be reluctant to purchase shares at such a price, I would make the argument that because of the economic problems the country is facing, the excellent fundamentals that PG provides, and the incredible steady nature which is advocated for long term investors, PG should have no problem being bought by big institutions in the future. Such a sentiment will do nothing but increase capital gains for consumers who hold or even buy PG at such a high price.

What are tax-free corporate dividends and how do I apply for them?

A

A C Corporation is the only business structure that is never a pass-through entity.
The difference between C corporations and all the others is that c corporations are completely separate C Corp tax entities. This means you don't pay the business taxes - the corporation pays its own C Corp tax. You will only pay C Corp tax on any money you take out of the business as salary or dividends.

One of the ways in which the "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003" affects us is in the way in which dividends are taxed. People in the US, who have invested money and receive dividends from their investments, now qualify to pay lower taxes on those dividends, whether the dividends are received from domestic or qualified foreign corporations.

Most people have some interest income during the year. The most common is the one received from banks. This is taxable and has to be reported on your return. Interest earned on loans you have given is also taxable. If you have received a refund from the IRS and part of the check is for interest on a refund, that part is taxable income in the year of receipt.

Certain dividends received are actually interest income. Examples are dividends received from building and loan or saving and loan associations. Your accounts in credit unions and cooperative banks may also earn dividends, which are taxable.

The dividends received from a mutual fund are also interest income. In many cases this interest may be exempt, though you may need to report it on your tax return and it would qualify for tax relief. However, you need to make sure of the exempt status of such dividends. For instance, dividends paid by certain private activity bonds are liable for alternative minimum tax.

Some other types of interest also qualify for tax relief. Interest earned by you on deposited insurance dividends with the Veteran Affairs Department is exempt. Interest earned on some U.S. Savings bonds, such as Series EE, and paying higher educational expenses also qualify for tax relief. Interest on a Roth IRA is normally tax exempt. In the case of a traditional IRA, the tax is deferred until such time as you make your withdrawals.

Does innovation drives strategy, or does a change in strategy drive innovation?

Innovative leadership needs, seeks and desires a way to envision or describe the organization's innovation strategy. In more ways than this one specific instance, today's leaders resemble their traditional counterparts.

If they can model or otherwise map their innovation strategy, they can better experiment with it, put it to the test, stretch its limits and communicate it to others.

"Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays."
- Soren Kierkegaard

Stated another way, strategy is not what changes, it is we who use the strategy to encourage, energize, enlighten, engage, extend and empower ourselves to achieve its ends.

The sole purposes for modeling your innovation strategy are to focus you on, guide you into and reveal the granular yet measurable details of your strategic intentions.

Every innovation strategy must give innovative leaders the means to accomplish three crucial things: 1) Direct all activities 2) Develop all resources 3) Discipline all players

therefore innovation changes strategy
