We are all store owners here. We pay listing fees to Ebay, FVF on things that are sold and in exchange we expect to have our items available for viewing by buyers, correct? It seems straight forward, however judging from my sales and the sales of others on here this isn't happening. Thread after thread about how we are being excluded from search. How is this happening? Why is Ebay taking our money then? It seems to me that this is akin to fraud on Ebay's part? Why haven't we sellers formed...

Thousands of emails among the scientific proponents of global warming seem to indicate that the data supporting climate change has been made up! Are we being had? Climate legislation will cost trillions of dollars and it appears that there's more politics than science involved. In today's WSJ: "a partial review of the emails [among global warming scientists] is highly illuminating.

I watched some PBS show last night about the credit and debit card industry...and those borrow against your next paycheck places and I wondered why everyone just keeps paying and paying.

There are certain things I buy that I need to try on first. I"m not willing to play the buy it, try it, send it back, buy again... game. Is there any way for me to search for stores that are near me? Ideally I might find some stores that I didn't know existed before.
