I bought this costume at a YS today. The package says Tom Arma and the costume matches the picture. But the tag says "California Costume Collection." Is that what they all say? This is my first one. I also question the quality. It is so thin, it's nearly see-through. Is that typical of his costumes? The booties have no elastic, I doubt they will stay on. Is it a fake?

SSB converter

Let me start by saying that I know nothing about HTML so be gentle with me. I see that SSB has come up with a way to convert Auctiva listings. I've done one and it seemed to work well. The only problem I have is that the physical size of the template is HUUUUUGE. The description is okay in that it's on the left side of the page but the actual template is stretched big time ...ie you need to scroll the page to the right to see the whole thing. Am I doing something wrong and/or is there an easy (again, be gentle with me, I'm clueless in HTML) way for me to fix this? At this point I'd actually even be okay with removing the template (if I knew how) and just having the description showing. Thanks for any advise.

Anyone want to help me with a dishwashing mystery?

Hi, I have a load of dishes with this awful residue/hue that won't come off. I'm trying to figure out what happened. This set of dishes were all washed together with dry powder from Costco. I've never used dry powder before. After I noticed the haze. So I bought the regular liquid soap with the jet clean, and the same thing. One twist to this mystery is that we use to have soft water, but had it removed because there's a new law that doesn't allow us to have water softeners. So is my dishwasher not working right? Is it the dry powder that created the hue or is it the hard water. One extra tidbit on the hard water is that I usually have a pile of morning dishes that I wash by hand and let air dry in the sink and I've never had this haze. BTW -- the haze won't come off. I've tried soaking in Dawn and scrubbing.

OT: My DS LL coach

I have my DS Little League coach on my email saved list so I won't miss any emails from him. Every time I go on on Facebook, it suggests adding the coach to my friend list. Finally, being the stalker that I am, I click on his picture to see what I can see about him. It allowed me to see his whole profile, which I thought was weird, because most people's are private. So, of course I have to read it, and under profession it says "author" and then gives a link to his blog, which I then clocked on. Holy carp--he is James Preller the children's author of the Jigsaw Jones series! My DS loved those books--we have several, although he has outgrown them now. Just thought it was neat, and you never know who you will run into in this world. Thanks for letting me share!

Haven't really listed in soooo long.......some questions.

Hey there! I haven't listed in so long (except for a few just in May) and can't remember if we can or cannot do a few things. Is it technically legal (or at least will they catch it) if we put an image in our listings that links to an off Ebay website such as *gasp* Etsy? Can our siggy's link to the aforementioned abomination? What is the consenus on 30 day listings? I don't think that they had them available to auction and regular buy it now listings when I was selling steadily. Do ya'll think that it's a smart move? Or do you usually go with the 7 or 10 day listings to keep higher in the searches? (I sold on a different ID) Thanks for the help! Alyssa [IMG]Link[/IMG]

2 weeks without computer...WOW! feedback ? too

Hello everyone. It is amazing how much I have come to looking forward to reading this board. I recently went 12 days without a computer (GASP!) and found myself thinking of many of the "members" here. Unfortunately I got the computer back last night and ended up getting a worm virus within minutes of getting online!UGH! Thankfully my CA anti virus thing found it and deleted it. Going to have to look into getting a firewall, I guess. Received an Ebay purchase while I was offline and now need to figure out what type of feedback to leave them, since they emailed me 3xs with a "form" letter type thing asking for feedback. Originally I was not going to leave any, but now I am not sure. The purchase was a bedding set for my DD, that I bid on and then asked about here and decided I did not want it, but did not cancel the bid as I bid so low that I thought I would be outbid...NOT. With shipping I paid approximately $40. The set is sold as NEW and is very pretty. However, the sheets feel like cardboard, "quilt" has multiple strings "pulled" already and I have not even taken it out of the bag thing....can't imagine it will be any better when I take it all the way out. So, I will have to give it some more thought today. Anyways, I am so glad to be back online again!A person is a person no matter how small---Horton Hears a Who

OT Forrest Gump goes to heaven (email joke)

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. St. Peter said, 'Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.' Forrest responds, 'It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was.' St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions. First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T? Second: How many seconds are there in a year? Third: What is God's first name?' Forrest leaves to think the questions over He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, 'Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.' Forrest replied, 'Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter 'T'? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow.' The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, 'Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?' asked St. Peter. 'How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder,' replied Forrest, 'but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve.' Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?' Forrest replied, 'Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... ' 'Hold it,' interrupts St. Peter. 'I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name'? 'Sure,' Forrest replied, 'it's Andy.' 'Andy?' exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter. 'Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?' 'Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,' Forrest replied. 'I learnt it from the song, ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.' St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: 'Run, Forrest, run.'

I ask because I asked for a shipping charge breakdown and here is what I got: $2.07 for shipping $1.10 for envelope, $.35 for insertion fee, $.73 for paypal and final value fee was $.87. The total is $5.12. If I charge it in the shipping then I don't have to put it in the item price.

Need advice. Bad family situation going on.

Got a bad call this morning, so I will try to summarize this as best as I can. DH's nephew is currently 23 years old with 2 kids (ages 3 and 3 months old). Baby's mom died last night. Mom had a c-section birth. We are telling SIL he needs to go get a lawyer Monday to get his kids. His name is on the birth certificate but he doesn't have a copy. We told him to go file for copies with the court on Monday. Here is the background as best as I can recall. They live in Detroit. Baby's Mama (BM) had a baby with another man who is in Jail. Gilbert (our nephew) and BM dated and had 2 kids. At one point Gilbert went to Texas to work and sent money back to BM. BM did move to Texas for a while. They ended back up in Detroit. Now BM family is Ghetto (sorry no ther way to describe it). BM family all lives together in a house with parents, kids, grandkids (I think about 7 grandkids). All the daughters give the grandma their welfare checks for her use. Etc, Etc, Etc... Gilbert lived with them for a while. They are happy being on welfare type of family. Gilbert finally got BM to move out into a trailer. Anyways, not living there we don't hear everything. But supposely recently the BM mom went to a psychic/tarot card reader who said Gilbert was cheating on BM. So they convinced BM to break up with Gilbert becuase he was cheating. Sisters went and put a lock on the trailer and locked Gilbert out. Gilbert went to live with friends because he is on probation and didn't think he could call the cops for being locked out of his own place. BM parents and a few sisters did end up moving to Maimi about 6 months ago. Gilbert and BM was going to move with them but the job the uncle promised didn't work out. Anyways, BM has been sick since giving birth to baby #2. SIL mentioned complications from c-section or maybe even lukemia. BM has been in the hospital for 2 months and not diagnosed with anything as far as SIL knows of. BM refused to see Gilbert. BM mother came and got the kids 2 months ago and TOOK THE BABIES TO MIAMI !!!! They are telling Gilbert he can't have his kids because he has no way to pay for daycare, etc. Well BM family lives of welfare, they don't work either! I told my DH Gilbert should be able to get welfare just like the mom. Anyways, they are going to go to som hispanic organization on Monday to try and get a free lawyer. DH says they have been evicted from the trailer now because rent hasn't been paid since BM went into hospital. What else should I tell SIL to have Gilbert do? - Get copies of birth certificates - Get a lawyer. I did tell him that if he got the birth certifcates then he could take his children if they come back from the funderal. Since they were not married they both have equal custody of the kids. Since BM has passed, he is the custodial parent. Gilbert mentioned waiting until he got a better job to try to get the kids but we told him no, see a lawyer now so they don't say you abandoned them after BM died. I also offered for Gilbert to come here to Tampa if he needs to be closer to the kids while this is all going on. We are about 4 hours from Miami. Any advice? This all is coming to us suddenly as DH and I didn't know BM was even sick in the hosptial or the babies were in Miami or anything.

Your Auction Photos

i grabbed this from a discussion group and thought i'd share. the default setting is opt IN. i guess reporting your stolen auction pictures will be a moot point when ebay offers them up to others themselves. NOTE: this may or may not affect all sellers -- it seems they are sporadically adding it to people's account profiles and i know of some people who checked and did not see it on theirs, however, it was on my account and i changed mine to NO. it may be US-only right now, not sure about that, but be aware because i got no notofocation whatsoever from ebay and it was on mine. -------- Starting on August 31st, eBay is going to institute a new policy where photos you upload to any listing are put into a "catalog" of online images that any eBay user can then use for their own listings. The default setting for this is opt-in, which is a problem if you, like me, consider your photographs your property and want to control how they are used and by whom. A copyright notice is posted with a link to your user profile, but no additional information is given, and the link is quite small. Since the default setting is opt-in, and eBay has not sent messages out about this, a lot of people are going to be caught flat-footed by this new policy. Again, the default for this setting is YES, you have opted in. Meaning "Yes, I will allow eBay to make my photos available for anyone to use." If you do not want eBay to make the photos you upload to all of your future auctions available to other users in a sort of catalog process, you need to go change your settings now, before August 31st. If you opt out after then, any photos you upload between the 31st and when you opt out will still be eligible for inclusion in their "catalog." In order to opt out of this so-not-okay process, do the following. I've broken it down exhaustively. Hopefully your eBay pages look like mine. 1) Go to your eBay summary page ("My eBay"). 2) On the left-hand side, there are three tabs that say "Activity," "Messages," and "Account." Hover over the "Account" tab. 3) A drop-down list will appear. Move your mouse down to "Site Preferences" and click. 4) You will be taken to a page with a list of site options for selling, shipping, and listing. About the sixth from the top is "Share your Photos." Click on the word "show" on the right hand side next to this option. 5) The box will expand, and if you are opted in, "yes" will appear. If you are opted out, "no" will appear. A small "edit" link will appear below the "show" link. If you want to change the settings, click "edit." 6) You will be taken to a new page with the following text: If you'd like to opt-out of this program, please do so by checking this box and clicking the "submit" button below. (If you opt-out before August 31, 2009, none of your photos will be considered for inclusion in this program unless you opt back in at a later time. If you opt-out after August 31, 2009, any photos we select for inclusion in this program prior to your opt-out may continue to be used in the catalog) 7) If you want to opt out of the program, check the ticky box on the left-hand side next to the text, then go down and click the "submit" button. 8) You will go back to the settings screen you were just on, and there will be a green checkmark and a confirmation message. Go down to the "Share your Photos" option again and click "show." Your setting should now appear as "no." I am sure that this will be a useful feature for some people, for some items, but the automatic opt-in is not okay with me at all, as I don't want my photographs used to illustrate someone else's auction for a different item, not for any reason whatsoever. I thought you should all be warned. Please spread the word. This is a slimy, underhanded thing to do, and I hope it bites them in the ass. ETA: It appears that this might not be affecting everyone, but I urge you to go check your settings anyway. Mine was defaulted to "yes." Maybe it's a browser thing, I don't know, but y'all should probably go make sure.--

What type of inventory would you like to sell that you don't or are

too afraid too? The Woo Hoo thread has been a favorite of mine for years!! It sparks an interest in me to sell a certain type of inventory and it is JEANS! ( there are tons of other fabulous things on that thread but what strikes me and what I think I can get a hand on if I tried hard would be jeans )The thing is that: number 1. I can't find any decent enough and number 2. I think you have to have the desire/know how to find them. ( I believe that with MOST of what we sell anyway). So what is one type of inventory ( or more than one ) that you want to sell but feel timid, unsure about? Do only the really expensive brands do well? What is your average shipping price on a pair of jeans? I want to see if others have desire to sell a certain clothing product but don't feel confident in the search!--~Any additional item will ship for only a $1.00~Visit-My-Blog

I took Dante (12)to one of the Ulta stores and had someone show her how to do her eyes. It was a really fun experience. I agreed to let her start wearing some eye make up as long as it enhances rather than overwhelms. kwim? Purchased some eyeshadows, mascara, and lip gloss and I received a fun gift pack for her with lots of cool stuff in it. They also gave us some sample (nice little size) bare minerals. She's been bugging me to wear some outside of the house for a year and I finally gave in. ___________ Ria

Please I need Advice regarding my 10 year old daughter

Hi All! I need some advice regarding something my 10 year old daughter told me. First, she is very quiet and doesn't bring up alot unless it is something major. She told me at Target the other day that her friend told her that when she was absent from summer school one day another girl told the class that my daughter was uncool because she wears baby clothes. My daughter wears normal jeans/t shirts and gymboree clothing. I am very picky about what she wears and avoid "baby" looking items. She just turned 10 and is tall and slim. I asked her if she thought she wore baby clothes and she said no. I told her that if she was ever uncomfortable with what she was wearing to let me know. This other girl is older , 12 or so I believe she failed a grade or two so her taste may be different. Any advice? Thanks! Rebecca

WWYD - Advice Needed!!

This is not clothing related but this is the only board that I frequent. I sold a set of homeschool Spanish cirriculum items. I distinctly remember packaging the six booklets along with four CDs. The buyer received the package and emailed me that she only received 2 booklets with the remainder absent from the package. I responded and told her that I mailed the complete set to her and asked if the envelope showed any damage. She stated that there was no damage to the envelope. She has repeatedly emailed me and has asked at least twice if I failed to mail the contents. I checked with my local post office who stated that the missing items are not there. The buyer stated that she contacted her local post office too but the items are not there. She is now asking to return the two booklets that she received for a refund. On my listing insurance is optional and she did not purchase. I feel my first negative after over five years of selling if I don't refund but I know the items left here intact. I truly can't afford to lose the money either especially with no item to resell. So any advice is appreciated. Thank you! Angela

OT: Any gamblers here?

For those of you that play the stocks, here's a couple that has potential. RKT - Rentech, Inc I don't own any of RKT, nor do I plan on buying any. Just wanted to pass along a few tips for those of you who do play the market and are looking at other areas to invest. Remember to do your own research before you commit to buy any stock. Don't let a message board sway your decision. Yesterday their stock shot up 113% to $1.32. So, if you would have bought at their open of .62 cents and bought 1000 shares @ $620, you could of sold this am and made $700. The are down just a bit today, along with the rest of the market. Rentech, Inc. provides technologies that utilize domestic resources to produce ultra-clean synthetic fuels and chemicals. It licenses its proprietary derivative of the Fischer-Tropsch process, called Rentech Process, which converts synthesis gas derived from coal, petroleum coke, biomass, natural gas, or municipal solid waste into liquid hydrocarbon products, including ultra clean diesel fuel, jet fuel, naphtha, specialty chemicals, and other fuel products. The company also manufactures anhydrous ammonia, UAN, nitric acid, carbon dioxide, and granular and liquid urea. In addition, it has a joint development agreement with Peabody Energy Corporation for the co-development of CTL projects that convert coal into ultra-clean transportation fuels using the Rentech Process. Another is ANVR Avanir Pharmaceuticals Their stock is up today $1.13 to $3.32. They recently had a new drug approved called Zenvia, which is supposed to help with uncontrollable outbursts of laughter and crying. I personally don't know anyone who has this condition, but their stock sure is taking off. Again with this one, I don't own any of ANVR, nor do I plan to buy any. I keep all of my stocks in the energy sector. Coal, Natural Gas, Oil, Oil

OT-Legislative Updates

Reading the Washington Report sent to constituents of John J. Duncan, Jr. I admire the man and his opinions, but I think they should send a disclaimer with the material, in case someone is already despondent. I'll bet a lot of people don't even read it due to the not-so-great news. He states that when Medicare was instituted, it was supposed to cost $12 billion after 25 years and instead it cost 10 times as much. Medicaid did much worse. The TVA Spill coal ash spill is another localized disaster, but it still makes me sick. On an interesting note, he shares that according to Washington Post, "After years in the doldrums, the consumer demand for vegetable seeds has abruptly climed at a rate even industry veterans have never seen." Supposedly the reasoning is not the high cost of food, but that people are afraid the US will mess up so badly the "food delivery and public utility systems" will cease operations. WOW Basically, it highlights the gross government waste, stimulus money going to agencies that don't need it and average people going under. Our local water utility got $6 million in free money and another $20 million or so in very low-interest loans. They did not need any of this money. We have had double-digit increases each year for several years and all pertinent projects have been completed. WE also do not have any environmental violations to take care of. I'm sure the rate payers will not see any refund but the people running the company will get big fat bonuses. Ugghhh......

I have even been a good little poster but not even providing the link for the listing. I will now try this by paraphrasing her ASQ since the powers that be on this board seem to have some problem with this (why, I don't know...) Buyer purchased item below. Then I receive an ASQ (again, I am paraphrasing...) that she purchased the item (picture below) not realizing that it was dollhouse size. Powers that be: see, there is no reference to a buyer, a listing or a quote of an ASQ. Are my pictures that good that that looks like a real baby???

Hey Everyone! Ya'll Miss Me?? New Pics of Libby!

It has been a crazy busy Summer for me!!! I've been to Texas, to Missouri, and every state in between! DD21 graduated basic and AIT from the National Guard in Missouri in July; spent some time in Texas after that with my family for a few days. The new grandbaby is sure taking up a lot of everyone's time too~Not saying she's "spoiled" or anything, but every toy, crib and bed seems to have "stickers" in it and she only wants to be held! Of course I'm not complaining since I'm the main one to blame for it! lol She's already 2 months old and growing like a weed! It is so amazing to see my son as a baby in her! People are right! Grandbabies are the best! My sister, some*little*something, and my dd are coming to visit tomorrow. They are flying in to Boise and will be here for 3 weeks; doubt I'll get much ebay done! Ebay is still going pretty steady for me, what little bit I've got to list. Hopefully I'll get back into the full swing of it in the Fall. Here's some of the first pics we had made of Miss Libby: So....let me know what's been going on on the CCB and how you're Summer is going!

Ever had a tooth hurt not before, but after getting a filling?

Youch! Our family has very soft teeth, so I'm no stranger to fillings, but I've never experienced something like this before. My last check up they found that I had a back molar that had a cavity that wasn't big at all, but it came in from the side

Can my boy be Blue at his Blues Clues Party?

or does everyone know Blue is a girl dog? I was hoping to get the costume and notebook for his 2nd birthday party. I am worried at what the inlaws will think. My son loves the show and doesn't know the difference and would love the costume. He wouldn't grasp the idea of a Steve or Joe shirt and its not nearly as cute.

There are good caring people out there.

I went into work today, a kids shop and my boss Lu was telling me about a elderly couple that came in after hours and that they had been in there before so she knew who they were. He asked how many outfits a person could possibly get with 100.00. Lu told them depending on the outfits. This man went ahead and purchased some items, then wrote the check for $100.00 more and asked her to please use that 100.00 towards someone that could really use a little help. She said they had been in there plenty of times so she knew the check would be good. He and his wife were buying some clothes for a neighbors kids that had just recently split from her dh/bf A few min later she said that another elderly lady came in and was talking about a neighbor that was recently single and had kids she was trying to also help( same people we dont know) and that she was taking her "extra" $$$ and trying to get a few things for the boys for school, she didnt have much she was on a fixed income but new she wanted to do something. Lu listened to her talk for a few min, the lady went and got a few things, and Lu used what she got and put that towards the 100.00 the other couple left to help other out. She told me that if someone comes in, and there really down and out and cant afford a certain outfit for there child and there is still something left of the 100.00 to apply a few of there items towards that. I just thought it was really sweet of this elderly couple to come in and do something like that because these days it seems you just dont see that anymore.kwim

GREAT! I have an auction winner who wants me to offer the item to the next person in line because their DD is teary eyed about her purchasing the item (a GK elite leotard) and claims that she will not wear it.

I had a pair of Life is Good pants listed in my store..the title of the listing is: "NWT Life Is Good Girls Clothing Fleece Pants 2T 3T 4T" ..on the tag of the pants it say 2T-4T for the size...I also included a picture of the size in the listing...the buyer emailed me saying that she wanted a 4T..I sent her an email back saying the pants are a size 2-4T...I shipped the next day and she emailed me at my yahoo account saying she wants her money back cause there was an error in the listing and she feels cheated..I told her that she should have messaged me through ebay since I rarely check my email account and the item was already shipped...I emailed her back saying that there is no error that a size 2-4T means sizes 2T 3T and 4T....and in the description it says that it is a size 2-4T I also included a picture of the tag which verifies that...I've sold a couple of these pants and never had any problems with the way I listed it....I spoke to ebay and they said we are both at fault and I should just reimburse her after she sends back the pants since I have 100% positive FB and I shouldn't take the chance of getting negative FB from the buyer...What do you guys think? is their an error in the way I listed the item? thanx for reading

Confused About Whether To Change Last Name After Divorce

I am really confused whether I should go back to my maiden name or just keep my married name after my divorce is finalized.

I do know that this is a personal choice, but I just want some input. I have about 3 hours to make up my mind. After 4:30..the paperwork will be submitted. HELP!!

Blocked Buyer... ?

I had a buyer who asked questions about an item. Then she didn't even bid. Come to find out, when she attempted to bid with little time left of the auction, it told her "your transaction was blocked. The item may no longer be available". I thought perhaps she didn't realize that the time ran out on her. She is pretty insistent that there was 12 minutes left. So my next thought was that she didn't meet my buyer requirements of 2 UI strikes in 6 months or the -1 feedback .... she says no to the UID's but she certainly has 100% all positive feedback.. nothing out of the ordinary to me. I also looked at my log and the last time my requirements blocked someone was on the 23rd of June. I did check my BBL... she is not listed there either. Suggestions? She is a very unhappy camper and I just don't have answers. Although I am pretty annoyed that this item could have had higher bids had ebay allowed her to bid.

I guess i shouldnt have been shocked, but when i got there 40 minutes after the store opened, lots of people had baskets full of all the things I had looked at! there was nothing in the childrens section. here's what i ended up with for 99cents each a long faux fur EUC coat.
