Resolved Question: What's the truth about subliminal videos?
I'm aware of positive experiences resulting from making changes to how one feels at a subconscious level. It looked like subliminal videos could be great for people - just sit back and watch and enjoy the benefits.
I thought I'd investigate what's offered. I'm pretty disgusted at the results, which include:
* Very dodgy claims, e.g. they can make anyone wealthy
* The most obvious cheap sales tricks, like buy now to save x% - today only!
* Misleading offers, like claim your absolutely free video (only if you buy a bunch of other stuff)
* Try the free sample - none of which work (unrecognised file formats)
* Watch this online short video (that doesn't work)
* Harvesting email addresses to hit you with loads of their adverts
* Excessive sales talk like dodgy car salesmen trying too hard
* Countless efforts to grab your money
My experience is that honest suppliers of honest products don't use all these tricks - they simply advertise, provide the means to order and pay, and supply.
I looked for a long while and found nothing that seemed trustworthy.
Anyone out there had experience with these videos?
Are there any genuine, trustworthy providers of these videos or what?God is a man-made delusion to comfort and control in equal measure, and has nothing to do with the question!

moreResolved Question: Where does the law stand on Ebay post and packaging charges?
As some of you will know, Ebay have now started to enforce a policy of "free" postage and packaging on some catagories. As there is no such thing as "free postage and package" (ask at your local Post Office for full details) I have now started to offer my goods as Collection From Seller and giving the buyer the OPTION of paying to have the item delivered if they so which. Ebay have told me that this is against their rules but, from my rather basic knowledge of consumer law, I believe them to be on very shaky ground here.
The reasons I believe so are these:
First of all, Ebay DO allow "Collection Only" listings upon which a buyer can choose to bid or not. These are quite legitimate. Once a person chooses to bid on my item(s) they then become MY buyer, not Ebay's, as Ebay do not act as a trader i.e buy the goods from seller and sell them on to a third party.
Secondly, once that person becomes my consumer (buyer) I am well within my rights to offer that person services (in this case postage) and they have the right to either accept my offer of service or refuse it. This is assuming that I didn't originally state that I would post the item(s) for free, which I didn't. The same law applies to trading across the board from my understanding. If for example, I went to a shop (or even car boot sale) and saw a fridge and paid for it, the fridge would then be mine, but that wouldn't give me the right to insist that it was delivered for free unless the trader selling it advertised it (or led me to believe) that they would do so prior to sale.
Thirdly, again my understanding is that as they take direct fees from me for services provided, I then become THEIR consumer, giving me the legal right of access to continued services unless I break policy guidelines. I believe, as I explained earlier, that I am breaking none of their guidelines as prior to sale, I am offering my goods for collection upon payment with a post-sale option of paying for a service not offered prior to sale.
Unless I'm mistaken, if the letter of the law is followed, Ebay would therefore be forced to withdraw ALL "Collection" items as this is the only way they could legitimately stop someone from offering an item as "collection" and then, through discussion with their buyer, offer a them a paid for service for delivery if they so wish?
If anyone has experience or expertise in the matter I'd be glad to hear their comments, also people thoughts in general.
Ebay are bad enough with making up the rules as they go along but, as a service-provider that charges payment for such, I feel that this time they may have sailed too close to the wind from a legal point of view.
Ebay rules vs consumer law,... Consumer law wins by default,...... Regardless of what Ebay would like to think or have us believe.
moreResolved Question: Beware of this direct marketing scam company in Lincoln (UK)? and do not work for cobra elsewhere?
This is about Eclipse promotions in Lincoln. They are a branch of Endeva Advertising in Nottingham and the Cobra group.
I went for an interview and they completely treated me like **** and lied. They said I would be on a wage but when I was successful they didnt tell me it was a commision based job the other candidates told me. They tried made us start at 8am in the morning and didnt let us leave until midnight they were always trying to make me ferry people around in my car. The worst thing is we only had 3 hours to try selling and the rest of the time we had to fanny around in the office for free or travel aro8nd train to bus to train and not paying for travel. They completely lie to the donators!
The job was door to door sales and to make people donate £1.50 by direct debit. We were told to say that 100% of the £1.50 the person donates will go straight to the charity whereas in fact, every penny goes to the hands of Endeva and they split the amount raised. Reps and these marketing companies are paid out of the money people pay and they choose how much goes to the charity. The reps travel throughout the UK but as far as I know eclipse and endeva travel across east midlands to leicester, sleaford, nottingham, chesterfield etc. Dont pay donate through these people, donate online so then youre getting the most out of your money to the charity. The charities they represent include NDCS, British Red cross, WWF, RSPB and more charities. And do NOT work for these people they will disrespect you, make you give up relationship's unless he/she also works for the company, make you cancel hospital appointments pre arranged, and if you wont let them use your own car, they will say "your car is knackered anyway" and will try to bully you into using it to ferry around the people who dont have cars. Someone on the web who also used to work for endeva said he was stripped of every sale he made just because he quit! These companies save so much money by not paying staff travel expenses, and not paying for labour. Unless you want all the disadvantages of being self employed with all the disadvantages of employment (stupid hours made by the company MONDAY - SATURDAY 80+ HOURS PER WEEK and commission only based pay during what little time you spend selling) STAY AWAY!

moreResolved Question: Would you sell your partner?
A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers.
"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.
Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke.
"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.
"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"
The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing."
But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"
What a cheek lol, would serve him dog food stew!!
