Lets face it, no matter how much we would like to see the opposite, taxes just keep getting more complex. Luckily, E-Junkie makes it possible to set up more then just a single sales tax rate.


If you are selling in a single state, lets say Arizona (where we are located), you will need to charge sales tax to buyers through out the state.  But different cities having their own tax rate (along with the state rate and maybe even a county rate as well), that can create a number of different rates depending on where your buyer is located. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through each step. Click on the photos to see things close up.

Repurposing, doesn't it sound great, I mean you can get a completely new thing with a new usage from an old thing which you no more use! This is a good way to follow the three rules of saving the environment, namely - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Repurposing is also a boon for those who have a love for DIY folks. Also, the repurposed objects have a totally different look as compared to the ready made ones. The other and may be the most prominent benefit of repurposing for some people is that they don't have to give away with their beloved belongings. Sometimes, objects around us become special for us for some or the other reason. They wear out but our attachment to them does not.

Yes, DIY creations save money, but the time put into making them shows much more thought than pressing the “buy” button on Amazon.

I know spring cleaning is long past. But it is an almost monthly ritual to clean up some nook and corner of my cupboard. A committed cleanliness freak. As religiously as I decide to discard clothes but there is always a sentimental construct I can easily invent to keep T-shirts as keepsakes. End of story - Status quo remains and you simply have to make new space for new things that come by.

Sounds familiar?
