I find the combination of a digital kitchen scale and the postal service's website invaluable in guesstimating postage. (Discovered when I wanted to send a US friend a care package, and Canada Post wanted me to pay $40 to courier $20 worth of stuff. No "slow boat to China" service levels available. )

Not only can I use it to weigh parcels but I also use it to weigh food items to watch my serving sizes. Before I bought it I had a few instances of underestimating shipping charges and losing money on the transaction.

I bought a back issue of a magazine on Sunday and my PayPal account says that the status is still uncleared. How long does it usually take to be cleared or it is different with each sender?

Give it a few more days. Sometimes a seller needs to upgrade their account and the bank stuff needs time to go through.

Well, I put up my photos after lunch today and now I have SIX bids and 23 watchers! Woohoo! This is like crack.
ETA: Now I have seven bids but one person bid twice in a row without increasing the amount. Is that normal? Why would you do that?

I bought a video game game a couple of weeks ago, and it arrived not really working right (the audio was wacked out). I had noticed this problem when I bought the same disk a few years prior, so I emailed the seller about it, not to yell and complain, but just simply asking. He sent back a few links that mentioned how certain games didn't work in PS2's or something and how he wasn't able to provide another game or refund. Now here I am, between a bed and a hard disk. It was rather civil between us, but I feel that if I was to form a dispute, things would get ugly really fast. I find this to be a toughy.

ETA: Now I have seven bids but one person bid twice in a row without increasing the amount. Is that normal? Why would you do that? I'm fairly certain that's what happens with proxy bidding. Someone else placed a bid below your bidder's highest bid, and the system automatically raised their bid. Congrats on the interest in your auction! It's fun to watch, isn't it? Get ready for a flurry of activity right as the auction ends. That's even more fun to watch!

I can't wait to see what happens Thursday to the countdown to the end of the auction. This is very addictive. I'll be like that lady on the news who's selling EVERYTHING! I wonder if they do take husbands and dogs?
