I understand that all layers are absolute postioning. I designed a page with
some text in a layer....later on I created a second small layer with text in
it that said SOLD and dropped it over the item...it looked fine in my browser
but on other computers the SOLD was in the wrong place it was down about an
inch????? Anyway to fix this, I'm confused...I checked and the layers are
marked absolute positioning???

That's correct. Abs positioning takes that image out of the normal flow of
the page, so the image is not moving everything else is. Layers will drive
you nuts.

Unless you do it right.:-)
The second layer should not be absolutely positioned but relative to
the first layer.
Check this tutorial on positioning:

When first you understand the basics, it isn't that hard.

If you wish to use the same container then use relative positioning with a
display property to show the sold sign.
