Thanks Frank,

I didn't mean to sound harsh. I seem to be flooded with request. I can never
get this amount of response in the news papers around here. Well I think I
am going to be shipping timber to far ends of the earth. Also what is a good
way to take online payments? I was thinking I would just take cash and money
orders but alot of people are asking about paypal. Should I take this?


Yes. I've spent twelve hundred dollars via PayPal in the last two days.
PayPal lets me use either my credit card or my bank account to pay a vendor -
but without giving the vendor my credit card or bank account number. The
only other way to pay for eBay things (for example) is via a money order or
check - and then I have to wait for it to get there, and if it's a check, to
clear. This kills impulse buying... something that you probably want to
encourage.

Be really really accurate on your shipping charges. Nobody wants to spend $100
on shipping and see a $40 label on the box.
