    Max number of Ebay API requests

    To those who use their API and have asked to increase your api call limit - what is the number they increase it up to? Is there a set limit, or is it done purely on your needs?

    Valueable Domain in need of monetising.

    As you've found out, a domain name is useless, it's what's on it that people visit the site for. All (un)registered domains are as (un)valuable as each other. Just because it's three letters doesn't automatically mean it will be profitable. Why not auction it off

    Chinese eBay sellers with UK based stock

    I'm sorry if the truth sounded harsh. Fortunately, what you say or think doesn't matter to HMRC. So your petition would be "the competition took our jobs, get them"? Businesses are too busy being successful companies to hand-hold their competition. Like I wrote earlier, competition is...

    Messing about with Forex

    Does anyone do it in their spare time? When I first read about it years ago, I thought it was a big con or some sort of affiliate program, but alas, it turns out otherwise. Trading stocks is one thing; you can hone in on the company / sector, read everything about it and reasonably know...
