I recently tarted up some of my ebay listings using multimedia & javascript.\n\nI have 10meg broadband & it loads quickly, but I want to check it's reasonably accessible to users with lower speed connections.\n\nI want people to visit the link below & tell me how long it takes to load, and their connnection speed.\n\nIf outside of the UK, it would also help me if you could tell me if the tournament countdown timer is correctly synchronised with the time zone you are in. The first game (Germany v Costa Rica) is on the 9th June @ 17:00 (UK time). You can find it in your local time by clicking the Link 2, then clicking the time next to that game. I'm assuming the end of the countdown is set by my system clock so it should be correct wherever you are, but I'd like it confirming.\n\nLINK 1: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8059589146&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1\n\nLink 2: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/schedule.html

mp3,wma,wmv,mov file types will not work well on dialup. you have to download then to tyhe hard drive and that would take foreve on dialup. put a link to a page without these for dialup users or set the code up so they can start them if they want to. do not set it to autostart.\n\nyou should optomise your images to get the file size down to a resonable level. resize them down to 300x300 or less to get the file size down to.

I checked all the links for you and couldn't get through. I have a highspeed connection and a wicked good system so I doubt it was anything over here on my end. \n\nNothing went through.\n\nKeep on Truckin!

You've likely changed you time-zone, so it is automatically changing each time it links up to the time-server to check.\n\nTwo options:\nFirst double click on the clock in the taskbar.\n*Now you can either disable the time-syncing feature on the "internet time tab", then rest to the correct time, or...\n*You can correct you time-zone on the "time zone" tab.\n\nEither solution should set you straight :)

I've been to two Wolrd Cup Finals ('94 and '02) so, as far as tickets, they usually sell them through FIFA's site from Feb. the year before. You won't know which teams are playing where but we were able to get all matches in Miyagi that way and later on at further selling points throughout the year snagged tix. It's also fairly easy to buy off scalpers and this whole "name printed on the ticket" is not checked at all. \n\nI was not checked once in Japan or Korea in '02 and a good friend of mine in Germany right now said he bought a tix for swiss-Korea off a scalper at face value and got in. Of course, it had another person's name on it.\n\nIf you are serious about going, e-mail me and I can tell you much more.

I always go to www.livescore.com for up to date result for live soccer. It will update per 2 minutes for all live soccer all over the world (in soccernet from ESPN.com they give you options to update every 45 secs but it sucks, the minutes are not up to date at all!!) But, if you want to keep update with MILAN past result, then you can choose to visit www.acmilan.com or www.espn.com (then choose soccer section)

I can sympathize with your plight. On last weekend our cable operator also blanked out the channel showing World Cup.\n\nIf you have broadband try watching it in the net there are few options available now:-\nResidents of the UK can watch any matches that the BBC are televising at www.bbc.co.uk\n\nOtherwise there are a host of great p2p TV streaming programs. Go to www.coolstreaming.it to find out more. Tvkoo & pplive are the best programs where you will be able to watch the games on cctv1 & cctv 5.\n\nYou could also go to www.viidoo.com and watch games on cctv5 or espn 2 but you will need to have Vlc media player which you can get at www.videolan.org.

Having been on ebay for the last 4 years, I thing I learned is that people interested in buying an item will watch the item and bid on it -- whatever day and time it ends. \n\nEarly on, I listened to what the common research on ebay says that Sundays around 8 pm is when the traffic on ebay peaks. So I ended my auctions always around that time period - Sundays from 8-10 EST. But then again, thousands of other sellers are also ending their auctions that time so you have loads of competition.\n\nI experimented and varied my auction listing end. I found that with vintage postcards, Saturday 9-11 am do very well (but Saturday afternoons are always a dud). Sunday mornings and afternoons are also not good times, only evenings. With pearl jewelries, I have great success ending the auctions on weekdays.\n\nWhat I do is I stagger the ending times. I end some on Monday, some on Tues, etc. - this way shipping and fulfillment won't be too much of a problem as against ending 200 auctions all at once on a single day.\n\nThe key is to experiment what works best for YOUR product.

Hold the ticket into the air and see if you can see the microchips inside it. make sure its allocated by FIFA and FIFA alone not the FA UEFA or anyone else like that.

You might have been cheated.\n\nYou should call Fifa up, and check if the website from which you ordered the tickets is a legitimate dealer. If it isn't, then I'm afraid you've been duped.\n\nBut let's hope they're just late in delivering your tickets.

Same place the others went. FIFA yucked it up big-time, and the Germans further complicated it with microchip cards, lotteries for ticket sales and more. Beware of buying from a scalper, you might not get it. There will be plenty of empty seats and lots of fights at the gates thanks to FIFA.
