Shopping ( incl. Online )

[millionairemind]

Those who enjoy shopping for good deals.. Macys Departmental store in the US has partnered with 51 to allow for international payment and shipment directly to Singapore...

With the USD so weak.. it might be a good idea to buy the Etienne Aigner or Makowsky Handbag that your wife likes... or that nice HB shirt that you like on offer in the US..

LH,

I just got my shipment of polos, belt and a nice shoulder bag for the Mrs..

The price difference for one of the Polo being sold here in Singapore and the price in the US was already enough to pay for the shipment costs.

They ship via DHL.. and they give you a tracking number when the order is shipped.

You got to try it.

Cheers,
mm

hi L

i'm afraid you wont get to see much of the closed door court hearing of this nrowegian terrorism case. no journalists have been allowed into the court building. that mass murderer is scheduled to appear before a judge any time now.

Hi K
Yes, it's such a disappointment. His lawyer said that he had agreed to go to jail and so the hearing would be a short one.

Choose your auction payment methods carefully

When shopping online at auction sites, remember to choose carefully which payment methods to use....before you bid.

Online auctions have become one of the fastest growing internet businesses to date. But with this explosive growth, and widespread popularity we also see a great deal of fraud.

Protect yourself by avoiding sellers that only allow wire transfers and money orders for "big-ticket" items.

These payment methods do not allow you any means of refund, should the seller not follow through with the sale.

By utilizing a trustworthy payment processor, like PayPal (an ebay company) you leave yourself an open door to refund, if need be.

But, always read the fine print. Even these methods are looking to limit the amounts of refund.

The very best way to guarantee your safe auction purchase is to use a trusted Escrow Service.

Escrow Services are "middle-men companies that will hold your funds from the seller until you give the OK that the item is as described. Then, and only then, will they forward your money to the seller, completing the transaction.

There is a small fee for this, and a seller should not mind agreeing to their use....if they're confident in the item being sold.

Escrow is typically used on transactions over $400.00. For amounts lower than that, you'll just have to rely on the seller's feedback rating and your good judgement.

Getting a Lower Price at Amazon by Randall A Reinwasser

Clark Howard gives us this tip on how to get a lower price when shopping at Amazon.com:

"Amazon customers can typically get a better deal if they put something in their cart and then abandon it before the final purchase.

That usually signals to Amazon that you're willling to walk away and triggers a lower price the next time you put it in your cart to checkout.

Give it a try!"
