Supreme Auction Seller is a tool with which to Ebay auctions are a sexy design may miss. I have tested the Supreme Auction flat rate, but I found little difficulty.

A few years ago I sold a lot on Ebay. At the time I'm on Supreme acution encountered, because you get there send Auction designs at low prices. For me personally, especially the opportunity was favorable incorporate OF XXL images absolutely crucial point.

The designs are clustered differently depending on the size. The top designs have it all: This offer very many features.

You can even embed videos. However, you should include them with the webcam on the computer. I have created a video for an auction and then wanted to build this thing was not possible (by the way: eBay says that one must fulfill several criteria in order to embed videos may, for example be a certified member - whether this can trick with Supreme Auction, I do not know). Supreme also offers widgets, which I classified it as very useful: So you can show received ratings under the auction or let by the "cross-selling" widget Seller's other articles.

So when I recently my old phone on ebay wanted to hire me Supreme Auction came to mind. Flat on their website for private sellers touting for Supreme Auction. You only had to have a euro and got ALL features enabled. Said and done, came the following via email:

Another comdirect experience report, in which I would like to specifically address the daily limit of transfers and withdrawals, as well as the use of the VISA card.

Remittances: Comdirect offereriert basically three ways to transfer:

  1. Online Transfer: The most common way for a direct bank. There is NO LIMIT to the comdirect. However, this applies only to transfers to domestic third-party accounts! A prerequisite is that the checking account and the bank has corresponding coverage. You want to chat more than 12,500 euros transfer to a foreign third party account, so you have the Report of the Deutsche Bundesbank , but what tax law background and every financial institution should be so. Also good to know: It is not possible online from the money market account (or by overnight Plus account) to be paid directly to a third account, that you have previously transferred the amount from the money market account (using tan) to the checking account. This is, however, fairly quickly. For me it was within the same day.
  2. Phone instructions: When transfer order by phone, you can transfer up to 12,500 euros per day on third-party accounts or other comdirect account. Transfers from the savings account to the bank account / checking account are not limited.
  3. Written money order by mail or fax. According comdirect website is here the daily limit for transfers to third party accounts at gerademal 250 euros. This is weird. Recently a lady had told me in comdirect hotline that there is no limit to a written request for payment. Because this to me seems a bit risky but I think that the more information comdirect FAQs, ie 250 euros per day, is warscheinlicher.

What is crucial when buying a cell phone?

On a statistic found Statista (raised in 2008) on this issue has made ​​me a little suspicious.
As answers to this question include "low call charges" and "transparent account" included. Clearly this is at first place and is generally seen as considered most important, however, it has, unfortunately, is thrown together two areas:

One should distinguish between the contract and the phone. Advertising also separates (mostly). Whenever we talk TV spots before eyes so you can see that either a contract / prepaid offer (eg Fonic or " O2 o ") or a cell phone / smartphone / whatever (see iPhone or Google phone is) advertised. The recruiter did not like for no reason, but because they know that they have to use two interested parties and although those who are looking for a device and those looking for a provider. And since people are looking for solutions that both target groups are addressed adjusted. Clearly there is still rather behind it, for example, advertises that it is also the device manufacturers, etc.

Ergo you should have split this survey in terminal-related - and provider-related issues and possible (if given answers). I now take this time to survey imaginary part and answer both questions. Moment. whoosh, here you have the answer love Telekom, Vodafone, Samsung, Apple and Nokia data collector, oh yeah so I'm still (at first unconsciously) the call of the decision blogs fulfilled: Read the rest of this entry »

Study of Business Week honors as best direct bank DKB

Two weeks ago, I compare direct banks in an article regarding a current account with a credit card and described my experience with the comdirect. Regarding my requirements was yes, comdirect my personal favorite. Today I read the direct banking Comparison of Business Week (16th edition of 11.04.2009), in which it comdirect on Platz3 (of 10 tested direct banks) creates. Onto the podium At the top the German Bank (DKB). At DAB has the worst cut.

The study has assessed the 10 banks in terms of the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Conditions and fees for securities trading, loans, payments, etc., in this study have the greatest influence on the overall assessment, namely 50%. Bait and switch, with limited duration (eg actions here are starting credit or high interest rates again overnight but which are subject to other conditions) to acquire new customers are not included. Thus, according to WiWo ensure that the test winners are not only short-term or only for new customers, but as long as possible attractive.
  • Service: It as test calls were made and emails gesschrieben test. The way Netbank offers no telephone service. Maybe take the Netbank its name too literally ... finally they do not say yes Telbank :-) The DAB answered ascheinend only two out of ten e-mails within five days! Service is crucial for customers and therefore this criterion also flows with 40% in the overall assessment.
  • Security on the Internet: This criterion only flows to 10% in the overall assessment and therefore has the least influence and so important.

Then the following top five was:

After seeing today in the current economic week (20 April 2009) Excerpts from the book What Would Google Do: How to benefit from the success strategies of Internet giants
read by Jeff Jarvis, I imagine a few short and sweet fundamental questions about the Internet and privacy:

Even in the title signature you can read Jeff Jarvis sees the openness of the Internet more opportunities than risks This setting actually shows up in all parts of the book excerpt round!. Thus he writes:

The ethics of privacy has for the generation G (Google) changed radically. My age or older to stimulate people to post about all the information that young people about themselves. I always try to explain that it is a social gesture to let others know about personal things [...]

I think that's a very good explanation. Furthermore, he writes, that has brought him a personal benefit public that outweighs the risks. The internet would be any creators the chance to find the deserved audience and thus we would ultimately find people who like what we do.

I think so too. However, he represents this position so that I even asked myself the question whether I am representing themselves on the Internet really enough, or me and my skills actually publish good enough? Shortly afterwards, however, to read: Read the rest of this entry »

As I was previously equipped mobile:

The internet in your pocket has fascinated me for a long time. In recent years, I had this as the Nokia N95 , which I thought was great, but because of the much expensive data plans have only used over the WLAN to access the Internet. After I though my son can - at that time in "infant and drool-Age" - stupidly allowed to play with it had to be something new, because drool is running into the boards :-/ Do me then the BlackBerry 8700g gakauft due to the qwerty keyboard. However, Vodafone's push email tariff option was too expensive and have therefore waived emails on the phone. Until then, I had a student contract with Vodafone 200 inclusive minutes. Since I had not exhausted those, however, for some time and my 45 euro fee were too expensive, I started to look around for other providers. From this point, I really wanted a iPhone * or something similar (if it ever was such a thing), but I wanted to finish this is not the T-Mobile "gag" tariffs. Well, hope dies last, and so I decided to wait for cheaper rates. Until then, I contented myself with a prepaid card. Briefly compare and quickly determined that the offer of Maxxim with 8 cents per minute and text messages was the absolute cheapest / is *. With Maxxim I have quite good experience. As always stop here: Who "cheap" wants the service must make concessions and take expensive hotlines in purchasing. Only one point was annoying: The simcard from Maxxim not understand themselves frequently with my Blackberry. So I was not achievable now and again, because "Sim Card Error" appears in the display, I had to contact two or three times to select the connection was established. Whether this was due to my phone or on the SIM card or Maxxim myself, I can not say. But back to the topic:

Why I bought the Google G1 phone from T-mobile:

Now ichs not done. I was never a telecom trailer. Especially since I had once gezofft me with a call center lady something I am determined actually, nothing more to buy from the club. And then everything changed: Read the rest of this entry »

comdirect best offer but tedious application

I hereby present to you the first detailed review of the series of brand experiences, which I would like to expand in the future.

Today: My direct banking comparison and review:

After I had last year, in late summer 2008 finished my studies, I had perforce from my previous bank, a savings bank, separate. The reason is quite simple: After completing his studies account management fees are due. The cheapest current package of savings is € 3.50 per month and includes only the basics. However, I wanted a credit card because I book now and again quite short flights. In such a short book, the only payment option is by credit card (mine went at least for Air Berlin and German Wings above). After visiting one or the other branch of other banks in my city (Citibank, Commerzbank, Hypo, Dresdner and Postbank), it quickly became clear that I wanted to switch to a direct bank, because of the cost factor was decisive for me. In addition to the costs and savings factor also opportunities for cash withdrawal and no deposit, and the use of the account as a joint account was important to me. That meant so sit down, visit banking websites to compare rates for current accounts with credit card and after countless opinions regarding the first favorite to read. My first favorites were the following:

  • Cortal Consors
  • DKB
  • Ing-DiBa
  • Noris Bank
  • comdirect
