There were some tasks to do on net of course. I had to check Graphic Art Galleries website, with my personal online presents to internet users.

You can still find a special greetings card at start of main page, while some cool animated gifs have been removed now.

That made me feel all right, as having sent greeting card to selected lists of contacts. I was on a Christmas mood finally, after too much stress.

I was thinking about a short travel for fun and amusement, finally.

But when I checked mail, following days, I didn't find a RE:... only usual hideous spam messages arriving from not existing addresses full of stinking proposals in 99% of cases, but ten times more numerous.

So I understood that there are many, many persons that do not follow absolutely one of first advices that really help us live better, do not do to others what you don't want others do to you. Or better explained for internet scenario, don't harass others, finding it a nice way to spend your time, but expecting that nothing arrives back to you.

Unfortunately not only my email accounts were overcharged with excessive annoying stuff. I found problems on main business related and serious component of my activity, domain names.

I own many of these internet assets, and some are extremely important, and valuable. Some of them are of course active websites, as Free-Europa.com, Free-America.com, Free-Japan.com well ranked in search engines.

I had to complete many renewals, and it was a month I was involved in this boring task, and I had to handle managing of NamesLeaser.com. But it didn't loaded!

A possible solution? There are many. One is following, I had just rejected a listing for a domain name previous day, a short one word domain, but not a nice word for me, and active with a website with affiliate programs to commercial adult services sex related.

I don't work with commercial adult websites, I never did it, and I don't give for free links to commercial adult websites. And no one can decide for me!

I had to contact webhoster, and as an answer it was told me that they saw no problems to website(...), but it was enthousiastically said that not important what I said or did, they could close my account at any time as they liked!

You should understand how auction works. Many online auctions simply list items that people want to sell. They don't verify if merchandise actually exists, or if it is described accurately.

You should therefore check out seller. If it is a company, contact state or local consumer protection agency and Better Business Bureau where you live, and also where company is located.

Many auctions have a feedback section for comments about seller. Be aware that a clean complaint record doesn't guaranty that someone is legitimate, and that glowing reports could be "planted" by seller.

You should know value of product before you bid. If product is brand new, check to see what price retailers are charging for it. If product is used or reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than retail value.

Be especially careful if seller is a private individual. Most consumer protection laws and government agencies that enforce them, don't deal with private sales, so if you have a problem, it could be impossible to resolve. Always get a physical address and other identifying information. You'll need seller's name, street address and telephone number to check them out, or follow up if there is a problem. Don't do business with sellers who won't provide that information.

You should ask about delivery, returns, warranties and service. Get a definite delivery time and insist that shipment is insured. Ask about return policy. If you're buying electronic goods or appliances, find out if there is a warranty and how to get service. Don't get caught up in a bidding war; you may end up paying more than product's worth.
