Every once in a while I pay attention

Just realized that, as discussed earlier, shipping is not showing on the page unless it is Free Shipping or Free Returns. What a pita to try to research pricing, most particularly on items I know are heavy and I know are costly. One more click. Haven...

Have the how-to-do-a-sale rules finally been finalized ?

Apologizing ahead of time for not researching/reading policies but, then again, would they be accurate/up to date? Anyway, I know something has to be listed for 14 days before it can be MM'd*. Or, did that change? What was the final decision on a rel...
