I have a little over 5,000 items active on eBay and would like to download/export the listings in a way that would make it easier to populate my own online store. All of my items are “Buy Now”. I will be keeping my eBay store while having my own store to get the best coverage for my niche in the search engines. My store, however, will not be designed to link back to my eBay listings. I would rather it be a stand alone store. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I am an American living in Stuttgart, Germany in the very early stages of considering business opportunities that I can work not only while I live here for the next few years, but one where I can continue to work the business when I move back to the states (Southern California). The two business opportunities listed in my title are the broad areas that most interest me.
With both areas I am more interested in the ‘representation’ of niche manufacturer products or travel packages.
My background is in sales and marketing (Sports and Media). While I currently teach Business English at German companies, unfortunately I’m still not fluent in German or any other language so this concerns me although in most cases I can have a native speaker handle communication translations.
So, I’m throwing it out there just to see what some of your thoughts are – the pros and cons, your experiences, etc.
Thanks in advance!

In older versions of Access (2003) there used to be an Advanced button presented during the export wizard that allowed you to select and edit an existing specification. I no longer see this feature in Access 2010. I need to modify the specification to eliminate quotes. The file is being exported as an Excel csv file.
Here is the code on a button:
Private Sub Command124_Click()
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, “DEPTSpecification”, “DEPT_Employees per Dept”, “C:\” & “DEPT-” & Format(Now, “YYYYMMDD”) & “.csv”, True
DoCmd.OpenTable “DEPT_Employees per Dept”
End Sub

I need help to clarify a doubt regarding whether DAF term can be applied to USA – Mexico export / import transaction particularly at the border zone of Laredo, Tx.
In case you’re not familiar with the operation there, I would explain. The cargo is delivered by the USA supplier (exporter) to the forwarder’s warehouse at Laredo. Normally, that forwarder is an affiliate company of the Mexican customs broker, assigned by the Mexican customer (importer).
Therefore, the Mexican importer indicates to the American shipper the warehouse address, so that this shipper can arrange the land transportation (truck freight).
At the warehouse, there are several steps that must be followed; SED (Shipper’s Export Declaration), physical check of the cargo (mainly for the Mexican import customs clearance), issuance of the Mexican customs declaration.
Once this procedure is done, the cargo is loaded onto a ‘transfer truck’ (truck with permission to cross the border) with all the documents for the Mexican import customs clearance, and it goes through the border.
In normal cases, the work of this forwarder is paid by the Mexican importer though the Mexican customs broker (parent company of the forwarder).
Therefore, from the viewpoint of the USA shipper, they are delivering the commodity AT THE FORWARDER’S WAREHOUSE, even though such warehouse is located in the border zone (or border city).
My doubt is whether the DAF term, according to Incoterms, can be applied for this sort of operations, because even though the cargo is delivered at a border city, still it’s not ‘FRONTIER’, especially there are charges that are occurred on the USA side before crossing the border, so in my opinion, it does not fit to the definition of DAF, and most probably, the term most appropriate is DDU Laredo, TX.
As far as I have heard, DAF can be used only in European countries, where the truck goes through the border, without making any cargo handling, maybe just getting stamp on the documents, but splitting the freight cost in two parts; the freight from the origin up to the border to be covered by the seller, and the freight from the border up to its final destination. (I have heard that there are borders in Europe where there are only officers checking documents, but there is not any warehouse or space for cargo loading or unloading).
I really need to know if my understanding is correct or not.
