Debt Management Agreements: The Pitfalls
Credit Counseling is not a very well-regulated industry today. In the past, credit counseling was operated more like a social service rather than as a business designed to make a profit.
The industry was known by the general term CCCS (Consumer Credit Counseling Service) and operated under the general guidelines of the NFCC (National Foundation for Credit Counseling ).
The lay of the credit counseling landscape has changed. As more and more consumers find themselves deeper and deeper in unsecured debt (think credit cards), more and more profit credit counseling services have sprung up. Some of these services are very good and very fair, but be aware that not all of them are.
Some credit counseling services are good, others are bad, and then there are those that are just evil.
1. The debt management services that you choose should be a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau). You can check with the BBB to see if the company has a good record and if there have been any complaints filed by others.Membership in the NFCC (National Foundation for Credit Counseling) or AICCA (Association of Independent Comsumer Credit Counseling Agencies) is also acceptable.
2. If the debt management service promises you that it will take you 20 minutes or less to solve the financial problems, you need to run as fast as you can. They are referring to THEIR financial problems and not yours. It takes time and effort by a debt management service to help with your financial problems and get you the best deals possible.
3. Be certain that the debt management company can help with all of your unsecured debt and don't just deal with a few companies. Half a fix is often worse than no fix at all.

Credit Card Debt Management
Many times people will look at a credit card and see only the ease and convenience with which they can painlessly get the things that they want. When asked to list their debts , people will list their mortgage payments, their car payments, and other instalment loans, and not list their credit cards.
The fact is that the balance on a credit card is the amount of the debt (NOT THE MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT) . . . and that debt only increases each time an interest charge or a late charge is added. Paying only the minimum on a credit card balance will mean that it will be many years before that debt is paid off.
It is astounding,but a great many people have no idea what the interest rate that is charged by the credit card companies or whether that interest rate is simple or compound interest. (It's compound . . . and it is well above the national interest rate.)
Too many households in America carry far too much credit card debt. Seventy-five percent of households, in a recent study of American spending habits, are carrying a substantial amount of credit card debt. ( Only 41 % of American households have saving accounts.)
Now, don't misunderstand me . . . I am not knocking credit cards. I have a few of my own and I
use them almost every month. Credit cards are practically as essential as an automobile in today's world , and if one does business or shops on the Iternet, a credit card is indispensable. I also pay the balance before the credit card companies charge a penny of interest.
Paying interest means that everything you buy on a credit card cost you more than it would have cost if you had simply paid cash or written a check for it.
The best rule is to pay as you go. Use your credit cards, but pay balances before interest is added.

American Version of Debt Management
As the financial problems are still around world wide I shall be continuing some articles on debt management.
The American version of debt management seems to be; buy now, pay later, or worry about it later."Instant gratification " has replaced "Save for a rainy day" as the watch-word for Americans regarding their money.
Most American households do not have savings.They simply live paycheck to paycheck. They pay what has to be paid THIS WEEK, balance the checkbook , and decide how to blow what's left . . . .and those ARE the responsible ones. The irresponsible ones get a paycheck, do what they want to do, buy what they want to buy, and if there is anything left , they use it to pay the bill that is most pressing at the moment. Neither method could be called responsible debt management or sound financial planning by any stretch of the imagination.
Saving money is becoming a lost art form in America. In a recent study, only 41% of all American households actually had savings accounts, but 75% of all American households are carrying substantial debt.
This is certainly not the kind of money management that our grandparents would have approved of. There was a time when being in debt was a shameful thing but that idea went the way of the Model A, apparently. Declaring bankruptcy became so easy, and so many people were taking advantage of it, that Congress finally had to make it more difficult. Debt management businesses are thriving , and you can't turn on the TV without seeing an advertisement for debt consolidation loans.
Americans need to return to the sound financial practices of the past, like save first. American mothers and fathers need to instil the basics of debt management into their young ones. American high schools need to require that a course in financial planning and debt management be successfully completed before a diploma is awarded.
Now, check these sites to find how you can make money at home to settle your debts:>>>

Ebay Feedback Tips
The eBay feedback system is designed with the customer in mind . . . not the seller, although feedback affects sellers more than buyers. When people shop on eBay for any item large or small, they do check the feedback score of the person or business that they are considering making a purchase from.
They want to know what the experience of other people like themselves have had with the seller.
The Internet is impersonal but it is not anonymous . . . . not when money is being exchanged for merchandise.
Reputation is not just important, it is absolutely vital and your feedback score is your reputation on eBay. It is a proven fact that buyers on eBay are reluctant to leave negative feedback about sellers.It is not the natural first step that they take.
A full 80% of buyers will do everything they can to resolve an
issue with a sale before they leave negative feedback so negative feedback is taken very seriously.
Buyers and sellers are advised to:
1. Make every effort to satisfactorily resolve a problem before leaving feedback.
2. Remember that a negative feedback statement that is left cannot be removed by the poster.Once it is there, it is there permanently unless an eBay arbitrator gets both sides to agree to remove it.
3. Both buyers and sellers are encouraged to leave feedback after each transaction is completed for the benefit of others.
4. Buyers are told that a high feedback score is usually a very good indicator that a seller is an honest merchant and safe trading partner but they are also encouraged to check the sellers' profile page to check for any negative comments as an added precaution.
Ebay strives to make each sale go as smoothly and event free as possible but they do realize that problems can occur.

Ebay Auctions
Ebay auctions are just plain FUN .....especially the last few minutes before the bids close.
Those last few minutes of an auction can raise your heart rate by more than a few beats per minute! They are fun for both the buyers and the sellers.
Ebay auctions are open to every eBay seller. To sell without using the eBay auction, that is sell at a fix price, requires that a seller has a feedback rating of at least 10 or to be ID verified.
The ID verifications process takes some time and can cost as much as $5. Most sellers use eBay auctions at least in the beginning.
To put an item on an eBay auction is a fairly simple matter. You fill out the SYI (Sell Your Item)
form.
The first thing to decide is in what category to list your item. It might fit into several categories and you can list it in all of the categories for which it is eligible but remember that you will be charged a fee for each category.
If you have a problem deciding on the best category , eBay will suggest categories for you.
The next few steps are pretty self explanatory. You title your item. A title that is as descriptive
as possible is best. You should avoid using words like, great or fantastic because your words are limited here.
You set a starting bid price. That is you set your lowest price for which you will sell the item. This is important.Set it high enough that you won't lose money but low enough to attract bidders. Choose the length of time the auction will last. Most people choose between 5 to 7 days to gain as much exposure and allow time for as many interested buyers as possible to bid on the item.
Take a look at these site to find out other ways to sell your product:>>>

Basic Ebay Fees
When you sell anything there is usually going to be some kind of advertising cost. If, for example, you had a garage sale at your home, you would have to put a classified advertisement in the local newspaper and buy or make garage sale signs to post around the neighbourhood.
Advertising would be limited, to say the least.
When you list an item for sale on eBay, the advertisement can be seen around the world in every industrialized nation.
Millions of people can read your advertisement and have the opportunity to buy whatever you are selling. So when you think of eBay fees as advertisement, they turn out to be real bargains.
There are two fees that eBay charges: the insertion fee and the final value fee.
The insertion fee is based on the asking price of the item. For item that is listed for under $1.00 , the insertion fee is $.20. For an item that is listed for $500 or more the insertion fee is $4.80.
The final value fee doesn't apply until an item is sold. If the item listed does not sell then there is a final value fee.
For items that sell for $25 or less, the final value is $1.31. For items that sell for more than $25, the fee is $1.31 plus 3% of the sales price over $25.
The math may be a bit mind boggling but the fees are very reasonable when you think about the value of the advertising you receive.
The Insertion fee for Multiple Item Dutch Auction and fixed price listings will never be more than $4.80 no matter how many items items are listed.
However, the final value fee is based upon the sales price of each item rather than on the total of sales.
