The best way to avoid chargeback problems on ebay and etsy is to ship with paypal online labels. They come with delivery confirmation which has evolved into tracking information. This way, if you get a chargeback, paypal can go into your information and see that the package actually arrived. If it's a high ticket item, pay a little extra for signature confirmation. Paypal allows you to print labels for first class items so even if the shipping is cheap, take the time to print a label instead of using stamps.

Paypal is very good at refunding your money if you follow all their rules about delivering to the confirmed address on the account. I've had a few and it's never taken more than a day to refund the money into my account.


Get Smart: How To Avoid the Top 3 Online Shopping Scams

I hate to do this but I had a terrible experience with World Market and those stacking mugs. They shipped them twice to me and both times 3 out of the 6 were broken and the rest were chipped.

They are not packaged well at all. It really wasn't worth the cheap price. You get what you pay for. I guess if there was a shop near me it wouldn't have been such a mess.


Add Color to Your Kitchen: 10 Finds Under $15

Jeez! I'm afraid to even admit I bought one of these!

It's just something to add to food quickly when you don't want to think. My curiosity got the better of me and I bought a tub of the savory garlic flavor the other day. There are barely any fat calories in one tablespoon so I figured, why not? It wasn't bad at all and added a little flavor to my boring noodles.

I don't know that it would be a staple in my fridge but I'll use what I have.
