My son had a Ebay business, video games, and there were some months that the 'fees' added up quite a bit. Of course, this depended upon how many things he listed, what price he started his list at and how much sold. Bad thing is those fees are added up and charged once per month. In his case, the sales took off very well and he couldn't keep up with the number of sales. All of a sudden the fees hit, and it was a shock for him. He done his Ebay business for about 2 years before this recession hit and sunk his business.

Okay, I know that it's easy to get around the disable-right-click code, because I've done it myself. However, I'd still like to know if this code I'm using is correct, because I put it into my sites, logged off, emptied all cookies and temporary files and history, and so far it doesn't work. This is the code that was given to me from a friend, and I used copy/paste so I know I didn't forget any part of the code (of course this is all enclosed by and >, with "" instead of "[" or "]". Is this the right code to use? I put it after the "body" code.): script language=java-scriptgt; [!-- /* Disable right mouse click Script (By Crash @ http://walk.to/crash) Submitted to and permission granted to Dynamicdrive.com to feature script in it's archive For full source code to this script and 100's more, visit http://dynamicdrive.com */ var message="Amy L.

Two questions and answers, copied and pasted from the Social Security Administration web site: Question How long must you be married to a spouse to collect benefits when the spouse dies? Answer A person can qualify for widow's or widower's benefits if he or she was married to the deceased worker for at least the 9 months just before the worker died. (A surviving divorced spouse must have been married to the worker for 10 years immediately before the date the final divorce became effective.) The 9-month duration-of-marriage requirement is waived if the insured person's death was accidental or if it occurred in the line of duty while he or she was a member of a uniformed service serving on active duty or if the widow(er) who was married to the insured person at the time of the insured's death was previously married to and divorced from him or her and the previous marriage had lasted 9 months; or if the worker was precluded from divorcing a prior institutionalized spouse under State law and married the widow(er) claimant within 60 days after the prior spouse's death. The first three of these exceptions to the 9-month duration-of-marriage requirement do not apply if at the time of the marriage the worker could not reasonably have been expected to live for 9 months. The insured person's death is defined as accidental only if he or she received bodily injuries through violent, external, and accidental means and, as a direct result of the bodily injuries and independent of all other causes, died within 3 months after the day on which the injuries were received. AS an alternative to the 9-month duration-of-marriage requirement and exceptions, a claimant may qualify as the worker's widow(er) if he or she:  Is the biological parent of the worker's biological child;  While married to the worker, legally adopted his/her child before the child attained age 18;  Is the parent of a child who was legally adopted by the worker while married to the claimant and before the child attained age 18; or  Was married to the worker at the time both of them legally adopted a child under age 18. Question If I receive widow's benefits and remarry, how does this affect my benefits? Answer In general, you cannot receive survivors benefits if you remarry before the age of 60 unless the latter marriage ends, whether by death, divorce, or annulment. If you remarry after age 60 (50 if disabled), you can still collect benefits on your former spouse's record. When you reach age 62 or older, you may get retirement benefits on the record of your new spouse if they are higher. Your remarriage would have no effect on the benefits being paid to your children.
