<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1611407, member: 66&quot;]Don&#039;t count on that.&nbsp; I admit I haven&#039;t had mine frozen, but I have had my account closed with no warning from the bank, and they waited a month to tell me they had closed it.&nbsp; And then tell me in the same letter that they were going to wait another month before they sent me the balance from the account!&nbsp; Of course they tell me this right after I get back from a show where I wrote a bunch of checks on that account! (I had been socking money away into the account so I would have plenty for the show so the account had a healthy balance in it.).&nbsp; Naturally all those checks bounced because the account was closed, and I couldn&#039;t make them good right away because all my money was tied up in that account.&nbsp; When they did finally send me the balance they deducted from it the returned check fees from all those bounced checks too! Checks that bounced not because I didn&#039;t have the money but because they had closed the account.&nbsp; It must have cost me $800 in bounced check fees between the ones the bank charged me and the ones I had to make good for the dealers I had bought coins from.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unless the money orders themselves are stolen or fake.&nbsp; These are old lists but to give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem just with US Postal money orders.</p><p><a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/List-of-Stolen-Money-Orders-Do-not-Cash-Part-1?ugid=10000000004998824" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://reviews.ebay.com/List-of-Stolen-Money-Orders-Do-not-Cash-Part-1?ugid=10000000004998824" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.ebay.com/List-of-Stolen-Money-Orders-Do-not-Cash-Part-1?ugid=10000000004998824</a>&nbsp; and </p><p><a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Stolen-Money-Orders-Part-2?ugid=10000000004998885" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Stolen-Money-Orders-Part-2?ugid=10000000004998885" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.ebay.com/Stolen-Money-Orders-Part-2?ugid=10000000004998885</a>&nbsp; There are two more parts to these listings.&nbsp; Every week a new list comes out and is sent to the post offices.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Comment about how in the 50&#039;s and 60 one could just walk into about any factory and get a job.)</p><p>This was probably true, and they would be getting 50 to 75 cents an hour.&nbsp; And they had to work hard for that because the next guy wanting in would be given their job if they didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The same can be said for most people, especially young people first starting out in the workforce. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s my bet too.&nbsp; They have software that daily goes through and sends remindes to any ended auction not marked as paid.&nbsp; The way around that is to go to your MyEbay, locate the auction and under the options mark it as paid once you send the MO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tim, what skills do you have to offer the employer?&nbsp; One important one can be can you type?&nbsp; In some cases that can get you in the door.&nbsp; Are you willing to work unpopular hours?&nbsp; That&#039;s how I got on at the hospital.&nbsp; My sister-in-law told me they were always having problems trying to find someone willing to work third shift in Patient Registration, and that every time they did hire someone for it they started trying to get moved to day shift.&nbsp; So I got ahold of a typing tutorial program, taught myself rudimentary typing skills and applied.&nbsp; I told them I PREFERRED working third shift, and that since I didn&#039;t have a family I had no problem working weekends.&nbsp; That would allow those that did have families to spend the weekends with them.&nbsp; With that attitude I had almost no problem being hired.&nbsp; (The only problem I had was that I was a man.&nbsp; The hospital has been around for 110 years and in all that time I am the only man who has ever worked Registration.&nbsp; At my interview they brought this up and asked if I would have any problems taking orders from the other women?&nbsp; My response was &quot;Why would I have a problem?&nbsp; They&#039;ve been here longer and they know more than I do.&quot;&nbsp; I think that may have been what clinched it for me.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If they withheld taxes they HAVE to give you a W-2.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some companies have policys against discussing pay/pay rates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
