    Power Tool Safety
    Power tool safety can prevent minor accidents such as scrapes, pinches, cuts, and punctures and bigger accidents including amputations, electrocutions, and death.

    Networking - How To Do It
    Networking is probably the oldest, easiest, most effective and least expensive way to get more business.

    Provide Full Disclosure

    Make sure that you disclose every significant detail about your business practices in the auction listing. Let the prospective buyer know, up front, what the final cost of the item will be (including the shipping charges). Many sellers forget, or choose not to, list a firm shipping charge in the auction description. This either causes a nightmare of customer service emails with people asking about the shipping charges, or an unhappy customer when the auction ends and the final price is disclosed.

    Make sure that you also include:

    1) The payment methods you accept (Check, Money Order, Credit Card, PayPal, etc.)
    2) When the item will be shipped and by what carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.)
    3) Any guarantees that you offer...
    4) Your return policy...

    The more information you disclose up front, the more comfortable a prospective buyer will be when dealing with you.
