I got a notice from NewEgg today including a surprise invoice for $299.97. "What the heck?!"  I couldn't recall a purchase, let alone for $300.  Phishing?  Scamming?  ID theft?

Last week I told prospective listing clients that the only feedback worth a bucket of spit is an offer.  They agreed with me.  That is what they hired me for.  To bring them an OFFER, and negotiate it into a CONTRACT.  So we can get to CLOSING.  Nowhere in the listing agreement does it say I will...
