What does "age of majority (sometimes abbreviated as AoM+) in your state or province" mean?
The age of majority is the threshold of adulthood as it is conceptualized in law. It is the chronological moment when children legally assume majority control over their persons and their actions and decisions, thereby terminating the legal control and legal responsibilities of their parents over and for them.
http://en.wikipedia.or
In most U.S. states, the age of majority is 18, except for Nebraska and Alabama (19), and Mississippi (21). The age of majority in American Samoa and Puerto Rico is 14.

Occasionally, a less than ethical sweep will get posted. You might end up finding unauthorized charges on your phone bill. This is called "cramming". Once you contact the company that's charging you, and you have requested your phone company remove the charge, you can file a complaint with the FCC.

If you have paypal holding your $ they will release it 3 days after the buyer receives the item if you include tracking. I would do 7 days, free shipping, starting at .99 to attract the most buyers. Paypal will only hold money if you are new or your seller performance isn't up to par. I recently got all of my restrictions off and get the money right away now. You can print the shipping label directly from ebay to save money and not have to pay out of pocket for shipping. They will deduct it from paypal automatically.

And whe you click on Sweepstakes Subscription Orders in the left column it gives the following info
Hearst Magazines often promotes exciting sweepstakes on their websites. Although
no purchase is necessary to enter or win, we hope that if you did submit an order
with your entry, you enjoy many hours reading Woman's Day magazine.
If you accidentally submitted a subscription order while entering a sweepstakes and wish to cancel, allow 24 hours for your order to apply to our system before submitting your cancellation. The Account Summary page will indicate if your order has applied and if so, follow these cancellation prompts to cancel. A confirmation page will be
displayed to confirm your cancellation. Regardless of your decision, your sweepstakes
entry will be retained.
Disregard any electronic or paper bills you may receive, as they were probably issued
prior to your cancellation taking effect.
Now you would have to be an idiot to fall for it, but even though you're not out the merchandise, you now have to dispute the transaction with eBay to recover the seller fees, and then relist; it's a real pain. So stick to normal bid style auctions; starting at $0.99 is fine but make sure to monitor the price as end time approaches so you don't get burned. Personally, I also tend to shy away from brand new bidders (account opened less than 30 days) or those with zero feedback - both red flags that it could be a scammer. I put wording directly in the listing that bids from such accounts WILL be cancelled and aggressively follow up on that warning. I end up getting some nasty emails from people claiming they are legit, but figure it's worth the slight risk of a lost legit new bidder to avoid dealing with a problem later. Overall, most eBay users are honest so you shouldn't have any trouble but do protect yourself just in case. Congrats on the iPhone win and good luck getting some cash out of it.
