    'Can I just...' is killing me!

    Trying to buy a domain name I hold?

    I have brought and sold domains using SEDO they are one of the biggest brokers of domains and also godaddy are a large player in the market. At the end of the day its supply demand. If someone is building a brand and wants a domain to match it then they will want your domain. I notice an...

    Alternative to registering on Google business

    Isn't it absolutely bloody ridiculous that google, a business that stole your website data initially by scraping it without your permission has now grown so large from selling advertising against your own data that to be seen you now need to be on it and jumping through hoops providing them with...

    Looking for insight into filing a small claim against amazon.com (US) from the UK

    According to AG if they do ultimately compensate you its ONLY for your pure cost price NOT the retail price.

    Spending Power in USA

    If i sell something in the USA for $100 USD I appreciate that after conversion i would get back about £74. But does a family spending $100 USD on a gift feel the same in relation to income as we would here spending £100 on a gift? is this making sense? Im trying to gauge price pain threshold...
