I'm 3 months and not quite 2 weeks older.

[Do you refund money if you sent a package with tracking info and the package was lost?]

I would give a refund. If the buyer paid through Paypal, Paypal will side with them in most cases and issue a refund anyway.  As a seller, I view purchasing insurance as my responsibility and to insure that I receive my money back if a package I ship is lost or damaged.

[Getting Paid To Homeschool Other Children]

I agree with the others who suggest checking your state laws if you haven't already. In my state it is LEGAL to homeschool other people's children but ILLEGAL to charge for it.

[14yo dd flying alone...does she need ID?]

 

This is very encouraging. Thank you!

 

You're welcome:) I wanted to add that the person picking your daughter up at her destination can also request a non-boarding pass at the check-in counter on their end and meet your daughter at her arrival gate. We have experience with that scenario as well.

[14yo dd flying alone...does she need ID?]

Our 13 year old son and 14 year old nephew have both flown alone recently and didn't need an id of any kind. At the check-in counter, you can request to accompany your daughter to her gate and they will print you a non-boarding pass. They will request an id from you before printing the pass and you will be asked to show it again at security. Southwest allowed myself and my husband to accompany our son to his gate. And they also allowed my husband and I, as well as our son, to accompany our nephew to his gate. Both instances we stayed with him until he boarded and the plane left.

"Meh" especially when used in a post.

I am attempting to leave feedback for someone but there isn't a security check code to type in so it isn't allowing me to leave the feedback. Help please :)

[Is anyone else searching for a HTF toy for Christmas?]

Yes, I'm searching for an Atari Flashback 4 game console for my husband. He saw it in a Radioshack ad. I've searched online, but can't find one. I even bought one but the seller cancelled the order.

 

 

Walgreens had these for $29.99

[Christians, do I need to teach dc that people are animals??]

I teach we are humans, not animals, because I do not believe we are animals, nor do I believe we came from them. I'm fine about discussing similarities -- mammary glands, hair, endothermic, etc. We discuss similarities of all living things.

 

Same here.

[What is so special about red velvet cake?]

Yes, the frosting. But I'd rather have it on carrot cake instead of red velvet. :drool:

 

Me too! I had Red Velvet once and once was more than enough.

[If you use CLE for LA and math]

We use MFW for history and Apologia for science.

I normally get an order confirmation e-mail from them but have never gotten a shipping confirmation e-mail. I've always received my orders within a week.

[Silly question but how do you pronounce Pinterest?]

Pin*trest or Pin*ter*est....just curious:)

 

eta: I, myself, pronounce it pin-trest but I've heard it pronounced both ways and am curious as to how most pronounce it.

[IEW's Tips & Tricks dvd...should I buy?]

This school year we are going to be using IEW for the first time, SWI-B specifically. Although I would love to purchase TWSS in the future, it just isn't possible at this time.

So I am going to purchase the TWSS Overview dvd and I'm wondering if the Tips & Tricks dvd would be beneficial to purchase too.

What do you think?

Any other recommendations?

 

Thanks:)

[Paint ceiling pink or white?]

I would go with white.

[Do you see red flags if...]

I'm not quite understanding. I have a Personal PayPal account and I have people pay me through PayPal. Does this mean that people who buy from me are not protected? I'm really not understanding and I would prefer people use PayPal however I don't think I want to get a business account just to sell a few books.

 

A personal paypal account is different than paying using the "personal" tab, which is what is being discussed in this thread.

[Do you see red flags if...]

Morally, I don't think it is very nice to ask a buyer to give up all recourse should the item not arrive or get damaged in transit. By choosing 'purchase' as the transaction type the buyer is afforded some level of comfort that she will actually recieve the item. I don't think it fosters a relationship of trust to ask a buyer to give up protection, so I don't ask that they use the personal option. I want the buyer to realize I'm going to do everything I can to be a responsible seller.

 

:iagree:Exactly this.

 

ETA: I have offered to cover paypal fees in the past if it was an item I really wanted. I don't necessarily jump to the conclusion that just because someone requests "personal" that they are not trustworthy. Many instances, they probably just don't understand the different Paypal options.

But honestly, I am leaning more and more to just buying new, at least with larger purchases. It's just seems safer these days.

[I got an interesting letter from our county school superintendent today...]

I would ignore it but if I did respond (which I wouldn't) it would be anonymously.
