Jan 16 U.S. footwear maker K-Swiss Inc said it has agreed to be acquired by South Korean retailer E-Land World Ltd for $4.75 per share in cash in a deal valued at about $170 million.
The offer price is a 49 percent premium to K-Swiss' closing stock price of $3.19 Wednesday on the Nasdaq.
The deal requires the approval of 80 percent of K-Swiss' outstanding voting power. Certain Class A and Class B stockholders, who collectively hold about 75 percent of the voting power, have executed agreements to vote in favor of and support the transaction, K-Swiss said.
E-Land will use existing resources and credit facilities to fund the acquisition and will not need additional external financing for this transaction, according to a company statement.
E-Land, a privately-owned retailing group, has added outlets, leisure holdings and upmarket brands such as bags and wallet maker Mandarina Duck in a series of acquisitions since 2009.
Last year, it joined a consortium that bid for, but failed to acquire, the U.S. Major League Los Angeles Dodgers baseball franchise.

GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin is being treated for a back problem, putting her in doubt for the Pan Pacific championships starting Thursday.
Team USA spokesman Scott Leightman said Wednesday that Franklin had back spasms during practice Tuesday. He told a news conference Wednesday that the 19-year-old Franklin was resting at the team hotel in Brisbane, with her condition expected to be re-evaluated later Wednesday or early Thursday.
"Medical staff did a great job to get it under control last night," Leightman said. "(It) didn't make sense to bring her down here. She'll be monitored and we'll re-evaluate. We don't know yet. It's a fluid situation."
Leightman didn't elaborate when asked whether she has had a similar injury in the past.
Franklin, who won both the 100- and 200-meter backstroke at the 2012 Olympics among four gold medals, claimed six golds at the world championships last year, including a repeat of the 100-200 backstroke double that she won in London.
She is scheduled to swim the 100 and 200 freestyle, 100 and 200 backstroke and relays in Australia. The 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle are scheduled for Thursday.
Franklin is one of the American stars at the meet which include 18-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, who is four months out of retirement as he attempts to compete in his fifth Olympics at Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

They are also used for lifting, rigging, hoisting, binding, suspension, and motion-control applications. A combination of characteristics including material, finish, construction, diameter, length, and breaking strength give each chain its performance capability. Chain materials are selected for properties such as strength, elasticity, conductivity, and chemical- and weather-resistance. Chains can be fitted with accessories including clips, shackles, hooks, links, and swivels among others to prevent tangling, aid guiding, and allow clamping to other chains. Chains are most commonly used in the manufacturing, transportation, oil, mining, agricultural, and construction industries.
Campbell Chain manufactures chain, wire rope, and accessories for agricultural, construction, marine, manufacturing, and industrial applications. The company, founded in 1919, is headquartered in Sparks, MD.

Lisa's Profile
I am always creating in my head, which naturally translates that my hands must be occupied making that thing in my head, or there would be no space, so for me this store is my opportunity to share the things I make with you.
I am also absolutely passionate about the fact that fabric is a sustainable resource, and I make it my personal mission to make sure even the tiniest scrap stays out of the waste stream. I am constantly attempting to come up with new ways to use as much of it as possible, and my studio reflects that in the piles and piles of fabrics I've collected in my short lifetime. When I make a quilt the left over batting will go into fabric coasters or cup cozy sleeves, and fabric scraps will become new covered buttons. If we all just took a moment to think about how to reuse something the world would be a much better place…

Gran Turismo 5 UK release date confirmed, Japan gets Blue PS3 bundle
After what has seemed like an lifetime, waiting for Gran Turismo 5 to drive on to the PlayStation 3, Sony has confirmed that car fans will be able to get their fix of the car driving game come November.
Sony has confirmed that the game will arrive on 2 November in the US, and a day later, 3 November, in the UK and Japan.
However, in one of those good news bad news moments, while US and UK owners will be getting the game soon, Japanese gamers will be treated to an even better offer than here in the West.
Japanese gamers will also be getting the option to snap up a first-run Limited Edition of the game with five DLC cars and a 308-page book, but also the chance to buy the Gran Turismo 5 Racing Pack, a box-set that will not only include the Limited Edition game, but also a special "Titanium Blue" 160GB PS3 Slim.
Unfortunately there is no word as to whether or not the blue console will be heading to the West any time soon.

Juárez Correa felt a chill. He'd never encountered a student with so much innate ability. He squatted next to her and asked why she hadn't expressed much interest in math in the past, since she was clearly good at it. "Because no one made it this interesting," she said. -- Wired reports on a teaching method finding success in Mexico
The Power of Patience
It took me nine minutes to notice that the shape of the boy's ear precisely echoes that of the ruff along the squirrel's belly—and that Copley was making some kind of connection between the animal and the human body and the sensory capacities of each. It was 21 minutes before I registered the fact that the fingers holding the chain exactly span the diameter of the water glass beneath them. It took a good 45 minutes before I realized that the seemingly random folds and wrinkles in the background curtain are actually perfect copies of the shapes of the boy's ear and eye, as if Copley had imagined those sensory organs distributing or imprinting themselves on the surface behind him. And so on. What this exercise shows students is that just because you have looked at something doesn't mean that you have seen it.
"This is my gift to you. Do with it what you want."
The Course of Their Lives. While much in medicine has changed over the last century, the defining course of a first year medical student's education is still 'Gross Anatomy.' This is their hands-on tour of a donated cadaver -- an actual human body -- and is an experience which cannot be replicated by computer models. When Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Johnson came up with the idea of following a med school gross anatomy class for a feature story, his editor challenged him to make it different. So he chose to intertwine the students' stories with that of Geraldine 'Nana' Fotsch, a living future donor, as sort of a stand-in for the cadaver. (Via. This four-part series contains descriptions of a human dissection. Some may find it disturbing.) [more inside]
Behind the A.D.H.D. Epidemic
To be clear: Those are correlations, not causal links. But A.D.H.D., education policies, disability protections and advertising freedoms all appear to wink suggestively at one another. From parents' and teachers' perspectives, the diagnosis is considered a success if the medication improves kids' ability to perform on tests and calms them down enough so that they're not a distraction to others. (In some school districts, an A.D.H.D. diagnosis also results in that child's test score being removed from the school's official average.) Writ large, Hinshaw says, these incentives conspire to boost the diagnosis of the disorder, regardless of its biological prevalence. - SL NYTimes
Malala Yousafzai leaves Jon Stewart speechless
"I'll tell him how important education is, and that I even want education for your children as well. And I would tell him, 'That's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.'" - Malala Yousafzai (previously), shot by the Taliban a year ago, talks to the Daily Show's Jon Stewart about what she would do if a gunman came to shoot her again, as they have promised.

Writing in Blackboard
Rise Above the LMS: " ... I no longer think of standard, traditional LMS platforms like Blackboard as software. Instead, I think of them as 'institutionware.' For as much as Blackboard may be about preserving itself as the top LMS option, it is also about preserving the traditional aspects of higher education. Even more recent social media 'features' are about containment; blogs and wikis are stuck in the Blackboard box and mark the introduction of new environments and tools for learning but only serve lectures and exams." James Schirmer talks about how the structure and design of learning management systems (Wikipedia article) in higher education often runs counter to good classroom instruction.
Ready to learn
An estimated 8.6 percent of parents now wait until their child is six to send them to kindergarten, hoping that their maturity and increased physical size will give them advantages in the classroom and on the sports field. However, the trend, called "academic redshirting" may actually be extremely harmful, according to recent studies.
The Common Core
The Common Core (Wikipedia) is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt (that is, if they want to keep their funding). In the weeks and months leading up to implementation of the Common Core, some teachers are a little wary. Teachers and community organizers are now left to translate Common Core standards for confused parents, with some myths, rumors, and miscommunications getting in the way. Now, after months of preparing for the shift, some states are dropping out of the Common Core. But why?
My Daughter's Homework Is Killing Me
Karl Taro Greenfeld wondered if his daughter had too much homework to do... so, for a week, he did all of it with her, for hours each night. "The school year hasn't been extended. Student-teacher ratios don't seem to have changed much. No, our children are going to catch up with those East Asian kids on their own damn time."
Death of an adjunct
"Duquesne has claimed that the unionization of adjuncts like Margaret Mary would somehow interfere with its mission to inculcate Catholic values among its students." - Daniel Kovalik
Making school better for boys.
As the United States moves toward a knowledge-based economy, school achievement has become the cornerstone of lifelong success. Women are adapting; men are not. Yet the education establishment and federal government are, with some notable exceptions, looking the other way.

We are simply passing through history....
"It's not often that one finds buried treasure, but that's exactly what happened in Wayland High School's History Building as we prepared to move to a new campus. Amidst the dusty collection of maps featuring the defunct USSR, decades-old textbooks describing how Negroes are seeking equality, and film strips pieced together with brittle scotch tape, was a gray plastic Samsonite briefcase, circa 1975."
What if the real problem is school itself?
School is a prison - and damaging our kids - We're not surprised that learning is unpleasant. We think of it as bad-tasting medicine, tough to swallow but good for children in the long run. Some people even think that the very unpleasantness of school is good for children, so they will learn to tolerate unpleasantness, because life after school is unpleasant. Perhaps this sad view of life derives from schooling.
Becoming "Cliterate"
Teaching Cliteracy 101: "It is a curious dilemma to observe the paradox that on the one hand the female body is the primary metaphor for sexuality, its use saturates advertising, art and the mainstream erotic imaginary. Yet, the clitoris, the true female sexual organ, is virtually invisible." ~ Artist Sophia Wallace is using street art and an art exhibition that incorporates pithy slogans, 'scientific data, historical information as well as references to architecture, porn, pop culture and human rights' to make "the case for the clit".

It was a woman named Ruth Calderon, a Talmud scholar and the founder of two Jewish houses of study.

The Opt-Out Revolution, Revisited
In 2003, the New York Times published a lengthy article by Lisa Belkin about women who were choosing to leave the workforce to be stay-at-home moms: The Opt-Out Generation. In the the last ten years, the article's conclusions regarding upper-middle-class women's choices about work and motherhood have been debated, studied, rediscovered, denied, lamented, and defended. It's been noted by many that "most mothers have to work to make ends meet but the press writes mostly about the elite few who don't." Ms. Belkin's piece also never mentioned what what a disaster divorce or the death of a spouse can create for dependent women in such situations. After a decade, the Times is revisiting the topic: The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In.
Accountability in the Indiana school system
"I hope we come to the meeting today with solutions and not excuses for me to wiggle myself out of the repeated lies I have told over the last 6 months." Tony Bennett, the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, had a big problem. Christel House Academy, a public charter school in Indianapolis founded by time-share magnate and major GOP donor Christel DeHaan, had come in with a C on the state's A-F grading scale, thanks to poor scores by 9th and 10th graders in English and math. "They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work," Bennett wrote to a staffer. Fortunately, Bennett's team found a solution, revealed today in staff e-mails obtained by the AP -- change the state's grading scale so that the offending grades didn't count. Will Bennett be able to hold on as Indiana's top education official? Not to worry: in January, he moved on to the same job in Florida. [more inside]
Does Open Access Diminish Publishing Opportunities for Grad Students?
The American Historical Association just released a statement that "strongly encourages graduate programs and university libraries to adopt a policy that allows the embargoing of completed history PhD dissertations in digital form for as many as six years." The statement is aimed at publishers who are disinclined to consider books based on dissertations that have been made freely available in open access databases. Some responses cite a 2011 survey, "Do Open Access Electronic Theses and Dissertations Diminish Publishing Opportunities in the Social Sciences and Humanities?," that found most publishers self-reported they would indeed consider publishing such dissertations, but also suggested university libraries are refusing to buy books based on dissertations that have previously been available online. "The Road From Dissertation to Book Has a New Pothole: the Internet," a 2011 article from the Chronicle of Higher Education, quotes editors who are wary of publishing such books, and discusses the process by which students can restrict access to their work at companies like ProQuest, "the electronic publisher with which the vast majority of U.S. universities contract to house digital copies of dissertations."

Science doesn't teach anything; experience teaches it.
I think we live in an unscientific age in which almost all the buffeting of communications and television--words, books, and so on--are unscientific. As a result, there is a considerable amount of intellectual tyranny in the name of science.

Warning of Going Against FCO Advice
However, any customer who travelled to Egypt prior to the Foreign Office issuing its advice will be covered under emergency medical expenses and repatriation, hospital benefit and personal accident.
"It is standard practice that civil unrest is not covered under most travel insurance policies. We are advising holiday makers travelling to unaffected areas to keep in contact with their tour operators and stay abreast of the advice on the FCO website," says Stuart Bensusan of EssentialTravel.co.uk.
Because the Egypt situation is so uncertain, many travel companies are new directing new customers to alternative destinations such as the Canary Islands which currently represent extremely good value and still offer good weather in close proximity to the UK.

I have a star shaped trinket box that I want to put up for sale.
There are currently 4 boxes up for sale on ebay, 3 appear to be identical to mine, one is different.
1 is listed as cut glass, 1 is listed as pressed glass (this is the different one), and 2 are listed as lead crystal (1 of which has a sticker that says Lead Crystal).
The prices vary from $5 to $25.
How can I tell what mine is? There are no markings at all. Here is a photo of it.
Small pin wuith a picture of man Seymour, do you know who this is ? Back Pat Appl For. I belive this is from the Victorian era. thank you for any help.
Just recently started receiving the following pop up box after loading individual auction pages. After the page loads, it creates the pop up, almost as if something is failing to load or there is a command being executed.
Can't get rid of it. Been using eBay flawlessly for the past couple months...
Any ideas?

I found this fairly old watercolor painting that is signed illegibly. It is probably from the 60's or so. It is framed and measures about 22" by 16" By any chance, can someone make out the name? Thank you in advance
Hi looking for help with this acoustic guitar. Not sure on age or maker as it is completely unmarked for a company name. Has no headstock label or paper label on the inside. I can see very very faint numbering on the inside at the neck base, can only read 34(23??). I have read that with no labels it could be a fake or a copy? Any help is appreciated.
A buyer offered me a "best offer" offer. After looking at the acceptance page, it mentions best offers are not paid in advance. How does this work?
This what it says--
|Immediate payment is not offered with best offer at this time. If you accept this offer you will receive payment through other payment methods.
A friend found this in our local thrift store today - it was $49.95 but it was also 1/2 price day so he got it for $25! I bought it from him for $50 + 20% of whatever it may bring when sold.
Thrift store casino my friend said when he agreed to the 20%!
I know it's in rough condition, but the details the artist was able to convey in the faces made me think this had to be by a known artist; add to that the age of it - and I gambled with $50 (a lot in this thrift store)
I greatly appreciate any information.
Happy Friday, Guys!!!

Hello, i recently purchased this listing

However, when the package arrived today, the RAM inside was only rated to run at 2400 instead of 3000. Did i just get ripped off?
I have tried filing for returns via My eBay purchase history but i received the following message;
You can't open a return on eBay for this item

What should i do?
Hi joolies,
I was wondering if anyone has seen this mark before. It looks like a man holding and kissing someone, I've never seen anything like it.
The pin is also marked "STERLING" on the back.
Thanks for any help
Good morning everyone
It's all of us, isn't it? It does not matter your operating system, your device, or your version update on the browsers, it seems like eBay is using seventh-grade tech majors to tinker with their site! Every few seconds this box pops up with the demand free to push OK before you can do another thing. Fix it, eBay! Fix it, *NOW* iPLEASE?!?
Hello, I need help.
I ordered gryphon integrated amplifier and paid 5000 Euro but seller sent me garbage.

A buyer started/asked to return an item on 6/20 and i agreed to accept the return. In the return details it had said the buyer has till 6/27 to ship it back,it no longer says that... Well a week or so went by and i never got it so i figured he decided to keep the item and the return would time out... Well now i am getting this message for the second time from ebay...(below) At first i just ignored it and figured i'll just wait till the refund times out like the last time this happened. Then i reread the begining and it's got me nervous.
What concerns me is it says that the buyer has indicated he shipped it and i should refund by 7/26 once i receive it. So far he has not added a tracking number,and i have not recieved the item back. Then i notice below the big blue "issue refund" button it says "If the item hasn't arrived yet,the buyer may not be returning it." WHAT! Thought the buyer indicated he has shipped it...
I'm afraid to contact the buyer because i don't really want to refund,i just offer refunds as part of the hoop jumping to keep the TRS benifits. I'm also afraid to call CS and have them refund the buyer via some new policy... What happens on/after 7/26? Does he get an automatic refund? I'm i over thinking this? Will this just time out?
Snake Chain? Costume Bracelet Turquoise color stones. Looking for age? and how to describe it

I've had no success determinging the origin of these two large pots. (12" to 15" tall) Hoping somone can point me in the right direction.
I posted this on the Jewelry Group Sharing Topic and it was suggested I post here.

help! who made my lamp?
I can't resist pottery faces, so I brought this one home today. It is signed - looks like Lott. At first I thought he was a bit lopsided but after I took pics of the profiles I think it could really be 2 different faces on purpose. What do you guys think?. I have been searching Lott Pottery but no luck. Just wondering if anyone had seen this mark before. Thanks so much for your help.
Hello - I have an antique Tiffany locket that was my grandmother's. On the side of the locket it is marked "MADE IN ITALY" "TIFFANY & CO" "STERLING".
Then on the loop it is marked "925" and what looks like "302".
Any ideas on what the 302 means or the age?
I have 6 of these stems and am going nuts trying to identify them. I think the blank is Fostoria although in the book I have it is hand drawn. The glass is done in a series of 'panels'....optic? As for the etching, I can't find it in the few books I have, or on the chat about glass site. It looks simple enough - perhaps generic? Any help will be greatly appreciate it.
Is this a snake chain ? Not stones maybe glass.,1990's? Magnetic clasp.
Can anyone make out the signature on this piece? Also what is it?? I looked up CAVES PETRISSAN but all I found was its a restaurant in Paris - is this a advertising piece?
I have a glass plate which has a chip but the chipped part is still attached to the plate. A chip that hasn't broken away. It can't be felt when running the tip of the fingers over it, but a fingernail does catch on the edge. Is there an appropriate term for this kind of flaw? A percussion mark perhaps?

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a still sealed, vintage bottle of L'origan De Coty perfume that I recently purchased from an estate. I'm not sure of it's age or amount that this bottle originally held (measures approx. 2.5" tall). It's housed in a sturdy cardboard box with a tassel on top. It seems to have had a stamp attached beside the tassel and still has a bit left that reads, "France". I'm also not sure if the bottle was designed by Baccarat (?). The bottom reads, "Coty France" and has, "104" and an unlined d.
I would appreciate any and all help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have these dishes from a consignor to sell. She tells me they came from a church camp in 1963. She saw them used in a Harry Potter movie by Hagrid when he served tea to Harry, Ron and Hermione. I know nothing about Harry Potter and I know nothing about these dishes. Can anybody identify the marking on the back? Thank you for your help!
I wonder if there any way for me to protect myself in case of problems. Buyer used Global Shipping program so I was not aware where item went to. Not that I should - buyer should check for such things when he's buying items working from AC power. It was listed in US and info about voltage ratings is visible on pictures/packaging. Its rated 110V 60hz and in UK where he lives is 230V 50Hz.
He simply burned item by trying to use it with such high voltage. He just received it today and send message claimed its defective. I explained about voltage, but not sure what I should do if buyer will keep insisting that item I sent is defective. It was new in package, never used, and US buyers didnt had any problems with it. Im sure it was working fine until it was plugged in 230V.
There is a strange Rating and text appearing within my listing - I don't know how this happened, although I've seen it on other seller's listings (cell phone). Does anyone know how to remove it? or how to keep it from happening again?
Here's what it says: (copied exactly, warts and all)
iteam was exact as it was posted, great saller.
the iteam was exact as it was posted. great saller.its a great phone you. if anyboday wants to buy the same iteam they should buy it without any doubt. beacue saler is bery honest
Hi to all.
I seem to remember that there is a way to set up a listing for a specified buyer. The Specified One then purchases the item that I, as seller, and SpecOne have agreed upon prior to listing. That way we both (in reality mostly SpecOne) have eBay/PayPal protection which would not prove true if we do some sort of off-eBay transaction.
Am I dreaming this? If not, can someone let me know how to do this type of listing or just point me to the eBay how-to instructions which I cannot seem to find?
Thanks muchly,
So I bought a Samsung Gear S smartwatch and I saw that the seller had a best offer option. I go make him an offer and he accepts. After he accepted I paid him with a vanilla visa gift card through PayPal and it went through l believe. I asked him if he had a screen protector to add to the order he said no and he asked if I still wanted the item. I said of course he then said he'll pack it nicely and ship it out asap (this was on 7/10/16. bought it this same day). A day later I asked if he started shipping he now said he was waiting for funds to clear on PayPal ( I don't really know what this means. Anyways). On the same day I asked if he could show me a picture of the device or shipping box because he made another identical listing like the one I bought from ( I asked because I felt I was getting scammed that or either I was to impatient and paranoid. Anyhow) he did not respond. I forgot which day probably 2 or 3 days later he starts shipping via usps media mail with no tracking number (How am I supposed to know if did actually send the item. The eBay estimated delivery date is July 14-21. Finally on July 19 this guys says "Somehow the USPS damage the box and shipment and did a Return to sender on it when I opened it the screen has a crack now so I got to argue with them to get them to cover damages in the meantime my apologies please cancel your order and I will refund you your money". This guy has a star rating of 112 all good as a buyer but none as a seller. I don't know if I should believe him and cancel my order (I don't even know how to do this) or report him. I have bought over 50 things on eBay and this hasn't happened. I have also bought from people with 0 ratings of any kind and still deliver it without any problems. Did I get scammed or am I being very paranoid or what, please help! Sorry for rambling on to much just very much worried.
So I ordered a lanyard and recieved the envelope it was supposedly in. The lanyard itself is not present but the "cut-out" that comes with the lanyard itself is the only thing there and is not damaged, even though it is easily damaged when removed from the lanyard. I have a similar lanyard in a different style from this one with the same cutout so I know that the cutout itself gets scratched just removing it from the lanyard clip if you're not careful.
Since this is an envelope, I'm not sure if I can even file a shipping claim with the USPS and I want to file a claim since the item I paid for isn't even in there.
Hopefully the images upload.
Hi,there.Yesterday i was going to list my bass guitar here on ebay and did search about same or similar models beforehand and i was in shock...the very first dislpayed item was MY bass,listed by someone else.The catch is,that this same bass is still mine and i have not sold to anyone,in fact i played on it last night,anyway.I have two advertises put on local forums attached with pictures,which have been past-copyed here - they are very same.So,i did not list my bass here,because there is problem obviously.I do not know the guy who selling here,never met,never talk,never sold him ot her, nothing.I have stop my local advertises on purpose and just wonder what would be if someone wnats to buy my bass from the guy who not possess it and click on buy button here?It is ridiculous.What if im not selling it to anyone because of this case?
I could not list it,because it is going to looks very suspicious -very same bass guitar ,so i think that ebay staffs should do something,but the problem is i do not speak english very well,so i have to communicate trough messages with them,but i could not find how.I want to sell my bass here,but this situation is ridiculous.
Here is the link to it - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-BB1000-bass-guitar-P-style-vintage-Japan-80s-/172273025898?hash=item281c45c36a:g:xqgAAOSwboVXOvr8 ,the guy is someone dud1t0
I could provide more pictures or any kind of information etc.,if someone need them.
Any help,answer what to do would be appreciated .
Thanks a lot.
Hi, I am looking for some help before submitting a return request. I have two issues that need resolved but I don't know how to proceed.
I ordered two exact mower deck belts from a ebay seller a few days ago. The shippment arrived, but once I opened the package, it only contained one belt. I first contacted the seller to notify them of the missing belt. However, after looking at the description, I realized that the belts I ordered were supposed to be Exact OEM belts, but the belt he sent me is a generic belt of a slightly different size. So now I want to return the item all together. However, how do I return an item when I am missing one of them to begin with? The return request ask how many I want to return. If I just say 1 of 2 then I am still stuck paying for the missing belt. But if I say that I want to return 2/2, the seller can say that I didn't return all the items (even though I only recieved one to start with).
Can anyone offer any suggestions with how I should proceed? Thanks!
I'm aware that I can't add any seller inserts, can't have the eBay logo on my label and all that, but I have a question about the packaging itself.
I recently ordered some shipping boxes off of amazon, and it looks like on the bottom they all have a barcode, made in the USA, and the name of the company that made them. Will the post office mark any media mail packages I send out as payment due because of this? And if so, is there any legal way for me to cover up parts of a box? Maybe by gluing paper to it or something. I don't believe a shipping lable would be big enough to cover all of it.
Thanks for any and all advice.
I think I know the answer to my question but you never know.
I wish we could go back further than 60 days to look at items we've sold in the past. Many times I'll need to relist an item but I can't view it to relist it.
I tried doing a search for my item and listing all the 'sold' like items to see if it's there but it'll be too old so not listed.
Please advise if there is a way to go look at older than 60 day listings?
I really lost on this transaction. I will be refunded for the cost of the item, but I might never recover the cost of postage.
So I received this offer for an item Im selling and got this huge sob maybe story ,and was told this item wasnt able to be found on the big world of internet shopping ."scratches Head " and would i consider lowering price...So after some research the item wasn't found by myself either ,,,decided to mark it up ...anyway Im new but not Stew....and the buyer would have been a 1st time buyer so they couldnt have bought from me based on my polices ,,and I was wondering if this is common for some one to see the value and try to low ball you just to get it from you on the cheap to resale
I have ordered an item from a chinese relesser but canceled it within few minutes, the cancelation request has been pending for about 2 days and there is no messages from eBay, can the reseller actually decline the cancelation?? or will ebay cancel the order anyway??
Can I sell a partially burned candle on EBay?
I've recently just started the Ebay Store. I was inspired by other entrepreneurs that resell clothing and how they make over $2,000 in 60 days. I thought it would be so easy and now I'm relaizing you have to be patient lol. I don't get much views or anything. Any ideas to help raise the views up?
Does Ebay allow the sale of DIY(Do it yourself) vhs tapes?
So I am new, 71 sales --- I get 100% positive stats on the seller hub
except for the tracking which is continuing to drop like to like 64%...making me think I am doing something wrong.???.
I sometimes dont use the ebay shipping labels ( i weigh things but dont always trust myself to pick the right shipping box size cost ect...)I sell different sizes/ records, books, so i usually use media mail?
so I pack it and go to the post office and then enter the tracking number myself in from the receipt...I have never been late to ship anything, In fact I usually get the item out the day they pay....I have had no issues with customers? Im afraid this will effect my "ratings"
Thanks anyone that can help me fix this?
Is it possible to change listings that have ended with 14 day policy to a 30 day policy? Seems that I cannot even change to advanced tool using the re-list option. It is quite inconvenient to re-upload all the pictures to change from a 14 day to a 30 day policy.
seller agreed to cancel my order. i paid threw pay pal. how long before i get my refund. the order was never shipped.
I purchased quantity 2 of an audio adapter. This is a small item. The listing says "Flat Rate Freight" from Saint Paul, Minnesota. I got notification on July 15 that it was shipped. My USPS dashboard has nothing about it.
What is "Flat Rate Freight"? Is it supposed to be USPS? Is it supposed to be for large items?
At the the bottom it says "Ships from China for FREE within 2-4 weeks.". Can they do that? Can they not disclose that at the top where I expect to see that information? I intentionally searched for a seller shipping from the US. Is this a valid reason for relevant negative feedback?
Sold an item and received a message from buyer in the note section. It said deliver to side door. Do I write that on the shipping label after I print it also?
I wanted to buy an item, but also wanted to ask a question. I went though the procedure but his/her site said please use an email address
they gave as there were a lot of questions, so I sent an email to the address and receive this reply back:
There's a problem with the recipient's mailbox. Please try resending your message. If the problem continues, please contact your email admin.
mx.google.com gave this error:

The seller is in the Ukraine and I am in Canada, but now if I did purchase the item Paypal may not go though...
Any suggestions or comments welcome...
Thank you
I had a beautiful vintage dress listed for around 60. I was made an offer of less than 50% and we finally settled on about 45%. I shipped it to her and she gave me negative feedback saying it smelled of cigarettes. I have a smoke free home. I emailed her and said I was sorry it smelled of cigarettes and offered for her to return it...she said no she would have it cleaned. Now my 100% positive rating has been harmed by someone I gave a hugh discount to. I'm very upset...anyone have suggestions. I did write a counter to her negative feed back and I blocked her.
How do I delete a question or statement made in the community if I"m not seeing that option?
Can I use multiple ebay gift cards to pay for a single transaction?
**bleep** I refunded the item and there still 25$ fee that i have to pay but i refunded it DF
Seller offered to refund purchase price for an item I feel was misrepresented.
How do I print a return shipping label addressed to this seller?
Who pays for return shipping charges? (I already paid $4.01 shipping cost to purchase the item.)
So I bought something from a seller on eBay a on 7/7/16. I payed through PayPal and eCheck from my bank account. It took about three days to clear, but the seller still hasn't shipped! They are located in China, but I think they should have gotten my payment by now. Over the past two weeks I've sent them three messages telling them to check through PayPal since my payment has cleared. But they keep insisting that it is pending. So I considered opening an "item not recieved case".
I just wanted to see if I could open an "Item not received case" through eBay but now I'm getting this message, "We're sorry there's an issue with your purchase. It doesn't look like this item has been paid for yet. If you've already paid for this item, you can ask your seller to mark the item as paid. If you haven't paid for the item yet, you can pay now." But my order is completely paid when I check PayPal so I won't even be able to open a case and the seller won't mark it as paid since they believe I haven't paid and keep insisting it's "pending" when it is not. I've also tried opening a case through PayPal and I'm getting the same result.
So I called eBay to make sure and they told me to call PayPal, so I called PayPal. PayPal confirmed that my order was cleared and completed but there is nothing on their end they can do about it. They said they are holding the funds because the seller hasn't shipped my order yet. They advised me to tell the seller to call their customer service, so I've sent the seller another message to call PayPal customer service. But I really don't know what to believe at this point. Not sure what to do because I can't get a refund if I don't file a case. Seems like I'm screwed.
Hi Guys,
I tried to pay for an item with my credit card, it seems that my transaction was failed. Could you please help?
How do I supply a return shipping label. item is fine, just not what buyer expected and I don't want a defect for SNAD, or a negative feedback.
I understand how to exclude AK or HI, or to set up "local only" selling, but how do I exclude states I don't want to sell to/ship to?
Trying to list a book, but the only economy option is Fed Ex smart post. Anyone else having this prob?
I'm pretty new to selling here on eBay. I've already had a few successful sales, no problem, but today I received a refund request on an item 10 hours after I'd already shipped it and entered the USPS tracking information. I obviously plan to call both eBay and PayPal in the morning to try to figure this out, but I'm really worried that someone is trying to scam me and this situation has made me feel really putoff of the whole selling thing.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much to anyone who reads and responds to this.
Is there a way to block an annoying person from sending messages, I am being harrased by someone wanting to lowball an item I have for sale. I have asked him to leave me alone with no effect.

The buyers is established and buying many times all over the world with no incident.I will refund all funds for him,but who will refund my shipping cost ?
Thanks in advance for advice !
When a seller lists free shipping and best offer option why does it then say offer does not include shipping ? Mike
if someone makes a best offer does it affect shipping fees?
I just received a purchase of 3 stuffed animals marked new. The seller had them packaged in an old box that wasn't completely sealed. 1 items is damaged and they all smell really musty and moldy. Very strong odor. Can I return? what do I have to do? Does seller pay for postage? The box is so damaged I'd have to buy a new box as well. What's the best way to do this. I havn't gotting feedback from seller yet will he be able to leave me negative feedback for requesting a return?
I have a copy of the memo back in March 2016 from Kelly Sigmon, USPS VP Retail & Customer Service that states All eBay prepaid parcels MUST receive an acceptance scan.
Today I presented 4 packages (which is a large amount for me...) and was refused a scan. First the clerk cited a brand new memo from Washington DC, then I called the branch when I got home and spoke with the supervisor who said they are no longer required to do scans but if I wanted any done then I had to come in at 8 am... So I really think there is no 'new memo' about the scans and that the post office is not following procedure.
In addition, the supervisor said that no packages, even those left on the counter, would be scanned locally and that the first scan wouldn't be until the main post office (in this case Cleveland).
Before I take this to any next steps, I am curious if anyone else has a post office that has suddenly refused to do scans, citing new procedures.... I suspect there aren't any new procedures but still checking
Is anyone else experiencing DEAD sales In july 2016? Worst summer on eBay since 1998!
Just a note to all sellers out there! I am a seller, I clearly state on my auctions that i do NOT ship outside the USA...canadian buyer bids and wins, told her i do not ship there, refunded her, then she leaves negative feedback! called ebay, they wont remove it?! unfair, closing my account, had it with ebay ALWAYS sides with buyers.
Finally! A promo. I don't mind that it's auctions. It runs 7/21-7/27. Sorry I don't know how to take a screen shot, but I know someone here does.
I sold a pair of very good condition pre-owned Brunswick bowling shoes back on the 7th, and I get a Refund Request today from them stating that the soles detatched during bowling the other night. There were pictures provided, but it seems like more damaged was done than they explained. Starting to wonder if it's even the same pair =/ What do you guys think? Should I give a full refund? Here are some before and after pictures...
You sellers need start taking action. I read thread after thread where sellers are getting scammed by buyers using SNAD the buyer gets the money refunded by ebay and the seller get a box of rocks shipped back to them at their expense. Why are sellers not calling the police and turning these scumbags for larceny, theift, fraud, mail fraud, (possibly precedded by the word grand or felony ) and the ebay employee who the made ruling on your case for aiding and abetting those crooks? They are theifs and need to be in prision where they belong. When ebay employees and buyers start getting fined / jail / prison time their tunes will change. Why are no sellers doing this? The police have internet crimes departments.
I am not able to send any message to seller. The page is reporting "This message cannot be sent at this time.".
Is anyone else getting this annoying pop up box, all it has in it is "object Object" and pops up with EVERY listing I open, unsold, active, other users listings etc.
I cancelled an order because I could not find the item, but I found the item...Ebay now has me on a below average score for that one mistake. And appeals department does not want to do it's job and give me the benefit of the doubt. Has this happened to anyone?
I am so SICK and TIRED of getting messed over. Ebay do. esn't care about sellers at all. I have tried Bonanza and some on Etsy. Not a lot of traffic. Any suggestions?
i am new to ebay (07-2016) i have a case open on me for non payment for an item i did not realize i had bid on> i dont want item asked seller to cancel was ignored then they opened non payment case . i left 4 messages on the 4th they replied that i sounded fustrated and that they couldnt do anything about it because they were out of town and couldnt do anything because they werent on their home computer what can i do thanks so much
Can I get out of this? What would you do? He has to be a scammer. I will pm his name so you can see for yourself.

Neurobiology of Violence is a thoughtful, well-written, and user-friendly discussion of the factors contributing to violent behavior. Physicians in clinical practice, especially in the major cities of the United States, have become increasingly concerned about the level of violence prevalent in urban centers. This is a book with some answers about the etiology of violence.
The author's wisdom is evident in his opening to chapter 1: "Everybody knows intuitively what violence is. Unfortunately, intuitions differ." He thoughtfully reviews the literature and how various authors have done their studies and continues with his perception of "the consensus opinion of scientists working in a given field." He then gives his own opinion, adding to our knowledge.
At the beginning of the book are definitions, which are important to worthwhile research. How violence has been reported, for example, as a part of population surveys, arrest reports, and so on is discussed, with the

In the "extremely sterile" environment of an operating suite and a group of small rooms in Georgetown Medical Center Hospital, Washington, DC, more than 150 autopsies have been performed in the last 18 months to obtain and preserve human tissues for medical research.
The Tissue Procurement Center opened in July, 1963. The project cost $150,000 and required a year to prepare. "To my knowledge, there is no other tissue bank of precisely of its kind in the United States, where it is possible to obtain thoroughly studied and preserved human tissues for investigational use," Abner Golden, MD, director of the Tissue Procurement Center and chairman of the Depart ment of Pathology, told The Journal. At Roswell Park Institute, Buffalo, cancer tissues are preserved for research; at the Georgetown center the chief interest is normal tissue.
Principal users of the tissues have been investigators at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda,

The National Capital Commission, Queen's Park, and the city sat down with the Ottawa Streetcar Committee which aims to draw people back to the beleaguered shopping district by bringing back historic street cars and to reduce bus congestion downtown.
The group estimates it will cost $16 million to get the project on track, a capital investment that David Powers, a city economic development consultant, said would require some integration with the city's transit plans.

Is there an appetite for streetcars back on Sparks Street?
4 comments:
If this alignment was used for a loop I believe that it would be much more effective. If a full loop is not in the picture then having the line extended into the Byward Market or to the National Art Gallery plus having western end finish at the LeBreton or Bayview transit stations would allow offer a great increase in who would use it and how it would be used.

Does anyone truly believe it's going to be allowed to cut across the War Memorial?

Terrible idea. It would ruin sparks street and do nothing for transit. They want to bring streetcars back? Start with Rideau.
