I assume you mean the risk of using PayPal. That's the main reason I don't use eBay.

... if they show you who they are and you like them. I noticed from the hiring process where I work that hiring decisions are often based on personal chemistry, sometimes without regard to qualifications. Or more precisely, qualifications are sometimes used to rationalize a hiring decision that has already been made on the basis of personal chemistry. And I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing -- I'm more likely to be productive if I like my coworkers.
Your front page needs a serious design reconsideration. Besides that, two minor points - The two bunnies humping each other in the upper left corner - I guess that's supposed to be funny. Didn't really do it for me. Also, why mention "Release 488" on the front page?
Robin Wauters, who is making $10 an hour blogging in his underwear
I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make with a bitchy statement like that. Are you saying he makes a lot of money for a blogger or more than he should for someone who writes in his briefs? Also, has he in fact admitted to working in his underwear or are you just trying to smear him? Perhaps it's just a popular sport around here to make ad hominem attacks on Techcrunch writers behind their backs.
This is a great idea. But I wonder why USPS uses a different domain for this. Seems like a legitimate domain because there's a link to prioritymail.com from usps.com also. But having two separate domains could be confusing to customers, I would think.
Congratulations. This is remarkable.
What's the backend like?
That's a cheap shot although you made me laugh. But let's for a moment assume that one person's walk in the woods can be another person's nightmare. (Especially if they're really dark, creepy woods - but I digress).
Job hunting is stressful even at the best of times. And this is certainly not the best of times. On top of that, you are considering a possibly necessary major shift in direction in your career and lifestyle so that adds to the stress of this. The process of searching for a job has a bearing on so many aspects of who we are that some people can be so paralyzed by the thought of it that they will stay in the same job for years to avoid searching for a new job (points finger at self). I sympathize with your situation. Getting support from those close to you as well as trying to participate in enjoyable activities that help you to maintain your sanity are likely to help you get through this without feeling too overwhelmed. Whatever direction you choose, when you emerge at the other end of the tunnel you are likely to wonder what you were so worried about. Best of luck.

It looks like there is no separation between view and controller. Mixing HTML into your controller methods seems like a step backwards.
