We brought ours without a problem, but I think it counted as a luggage. We traveled with American

http://www.sintelevisor.com/ Not only world cup coverage (through TVP and TyC Sports) but all TV channels available in Argentina (yes, even CronicaTV)

Here's me hoping others can benefit from our hell experience tonight. Summary = if your spouse and you leave Argentina with your children and they have DNIs (even if temporary), you need to bring their birth certificates (apostilled and translated by the local notaries) to be let out of the...

Quick update -- couldn't connect with MP VP (travel conflicts so far) but spoke to the MercadoLibre product manager about requiring MP. His answer was a very swift -- it's "because buyers want the option to pay with credit card". It's also because MELI is assured when a payment has been made and...

I was referring to the totally free listings (which not only don't have a listing fee, but also don't have a final value fee or % commission off sale). But I think one gets 2-3 of such free listings per year or something like that. Most non-listing-fee listings do have a % commission off sale...

Free listings (no listing fee / no final value fee) do not require MP. For all the others, yes MP is offered as a default option (but you can also offer to get paid by cash or bank transfer). For the non-free options, what you cannot do is not offer MP as an option -- I actually dont know why...

;-) The early days was referring to cross-border selling.

MercadoLibre fanboy here ;-) -- I work there. I also have had multiple bad experiences buying and selling through MercadoLibre, but I am convinced it's the best way to buy/sell. From the inside I can also say that it's really working hard to overcome the challenges of the ecommerce...

You can also try MercadoShops (www.mercadoshops.com.ar) -- it's a full solution (website builder + ecommerce + channel management) from MercadoLibre. While I may be biased here, I think it's the best regional solution and it keeps improving (or I lose my job ;-)

(from about.com) Definition: A credit card issuer is a bank or credit union who offers credit cards. The credit card issuer makes the credit limit available to cardholders and is responsible for sending payments to merchants for purchases made with credit cards from that bank. Credit card...

The market for tech talent is generally good with more positions than people available. Not sure about front-end or PHP specifically, but for Java, MercadoLibre is hiring and for the right seniority, there is sponsorship. It is actually a good tech company with modern technologies (I work...

For MercadoLibre, everywhere there is a "Comprar" button => it's Argentine pesos. By law, MercadoLibre (which serves as an intermediary) can only receive pesos from the seller for the commission. Whenever it has a "Consultar" button => whatever the listing says (usually vehicles and homes). All...

I recommend Kompass RentACar - 1561578483. I use them every weekend now for the past 8 weeks. The best I have found so far. Good rate, decent cars (VW Gols), flexible / no-fuss treatment, friendly management. Tell Matias that I (Johnny Wong) referred you and to give you a good deal (I pay p$852...

Not sure if you have visited OSDE's plan comparison, but just in case: http://www.osdebinario.com.ar/index.html#!osde-nuestros-planes-salud.html?display=310 Difference between 310 and 210 is basically lager doctor base, free home medical visits, and higher refund rate. We have 410 and I think...

There is also a Walmart in the DOT Shopping Mall in Saavedra. Fairly big if you ask me

I have Claro but it did not work for me while in Colonia.

Best negotiation position is when you have multiple offers. I'd be open on comp and get as many offers as possible. Then you can make that a factor in your decision making and bid up - hard to command a high price in this economy if there is no hard data of what you are worth here.

i got mine with fedex sent from california. No problem at all. it was also quite fast. I had it sent to my office

Wanted to get the common knowledge of this community on the timing for buying property here in BA. There are other threads that talk about this but don't sufficiently cover the arguments (they are "gut feelings", "I'm hoping" and "my experience so far") so I'm hoping to condense more reasoned...

Hmmm. Strange proposal. Let's suppose that it is possible to close the blue market (which is a big assumption). So, now all expats only sell their dollars to govt agencies and get the official rate. What about the buying of dollars? If it's not freely done at the official rate, then where will...
