    International Language Differences - Western Countries

    I cannot help but notice that there are quite a few differences between various countries such as between Australia, US & UK. Here is a few from the US that took me a while to get used to but feel free to add your list which may help when dealing with other Western countries: 1. mm/dd/yr...

    Never borrow money unless you have the financial means or plan on how to pay back the principle when the time comes : )

    interest only

    INVESTING 
    I have a few interest only loans and they work really well if you plan on living for a while in the apartment then renting it out later on or you have a line of credit to pay for apartment expenses. Reason is that you can save the principle and make use of it for your fastlane business...but as...

    Importing products from countries to re-sell other than Asia

    SOURCING 
    Definately all those fees too, lol. One other thing that i struggled with was once i reached the threshhold of $75K in ebay sales i had to register for GST here in Australia and that made me less way competitive with other sellers on ebay. As i import most of my products from overseas, i have...

    Importing products from countries to re-sell other than Asia

    SOURCING 
    Agreed Walter...i find it all comes down to tonnes of research and doing COSTING. That was somethng i was not very savvy at considering i had a degree in accounting and marketing. In the beginning, i was so keen to import that i overlooked all the extra fees such as shipping, bank transfers...

    I've read the book and my conclusion is that people should not follow this books advice unless: a) They are a high income earner and can wait 30 years to retire b) You already have a spare million over in cash and want to preserve your wealth Most people including myself on this forum don't...

    Importing products from countries to re-sell other than Asia

    I hear you Juicemania, thanks. Walter Hay is a great thread as i read through it last week. I'm just curious how many forum members already import succesfully from other countries besides Asia? More like a hands up rather than how to do it as i already import from various countries other than...

    Importing products from countries to re-sell other than Asia

    SOURCING 
    Many forum members here i can see import from Asian countries (mostly China) to re-sell products on ebay/Amazon. With increasing competition in the last few years i now diversify the countries that i buy products from and find there is less competition. Many of the products i used to sell on...

    Protection From Paypal Buyer Scam (Suggestion)?

    PEOPLE 
    Yep...same thing happens to me as well from time to time. Usually i start off by "requesting more details about an ebay member" in ebay and then the buyer also gets this email and wonders what the heck they are getting enquired about. Then i write to the buyer and write up a mock letter saying...

    Protection From Paypal Buyer Scam (Suggestion)?

    PEOPLE 
    Whoah...that's not a bad rate. I get 1 in every 30 transactions and before it was 1 in very 10. You can't please every buyer but i find the more you describe your items with photos the less likley a buyer is to file a dispute.

    Protection From Paypal Buyer Scam (Suggestion)?

    PEOPLE 
    You can't fight paypal when they have made a final decision but the buyer must return the goods to you, yes? Sometimes i have a buyer open an "item not as described" instead of "wrong size/doesn't fit"...they made the mistake as they don't always read the description... so i contact ebay and...
