    Mercadolibre Basics

    New Immigration Decree, Long Life To King Macri!

    Bajo, this is where your argument falls flat on its face; your so called professional secret (that you've mentioned five times in this post) you use like an ace card up your sleeve that you're not prepared to deal. Total cop out.

    Mercadolibre Basics

    With some of the major sellers, it's not difficult to Google their account name and some even put a conveniently placed company sticker or cel no in a photo, that way. the bots can´t pick it up.

    Mercadolibre Basics

    You're right, their so called customer service has zero human input, but what galls me more than anything else is their possibly illegal practice of forcing sellers of to only accept payment through their hugely expensive and proprietary system, Mercadopago when selling any new items and also...

    My wife gets me rolling tobacco from a kiosco on Lavalle/Florida streets when she goes down to the capital for work. She can never predict when it will be open and it's now become a case of pot luck. On the other hand, the kiosko in Martinez where I usually get my baccy, holds some back...

    I'm a big fan of small towns where not much is going on, although Cafayate is is a Mecca for backpackers and bikers. A stunning place in my opinion and so very different from Salta, which can be anytown, anywhere in Argentina, really.

    Salta Or Cafayate Living? What's Most Scenic?

    We were guests of Ed and his family at his home in Salta last year when we enjoyed an asado, some fine wines and hospitality. Since then however he seems to have gone to ground and we haven't heard from him since. Not here or anywhere. Has anyone else?
