  1. It depends on the type of soap. "True soap" is alkaline, but syndet soap (what you usually find in stores) is more acidic. The methods available/affordable to everyone isn't really reliable for testing soap PH. You could dissolve the soap in some water and test the solution with a strip, or drip phenolphthalein directly on the bar to get an approximate. To get an accurate reading, you need one of those electronic PH meters which costs a lot of $$$. I don't think the dish turning dark has anything to do with the soap PH though... it's probably the dish itself. Could even be mold.
  2. This might be a bit late, but how about donating them next time Before I moved, I'd send all my uglies to http://www.cleantheworld.org They're not picky about what they get either... will even take used soaps and recycle them.
  3. http://0.tqn.com/d/candleandsoap/1/G/k/L/dos.JPG It's usually caused by rancid oils, not mixing well enough, humidity, tap water, sunlight, low shelf life oils or too much superfat. Most of the time, it just makes the soap ugly though, doesn't really affect how it performs.
  4. Kill them with kindness. Be really sweet and ask them what they think the scents should be named and keep trying to chat to them. It keeps them from annoying/driving the customers away, shows you're interested in customer service and really annoys the hell out of them.
  5. Have you thought about using a mail forwarding service like myUS.com ?
  6. Ebay owns Paypal and they're in twined that there's really not much difference between them aside from the kind of product they offer. They're probably blaming eachother for the hold to pass off the blame. Hopefully the buyer will leave you feedback. But they will take a delivered status on the tracking page as proof.
