I contacted a Pu'er seller on Ebay China who has a fantastic selection
at good prices with hundreds and hundreds of satisfied buyers. I send
inquiries in English and he responds in Chinese which I pass through
Babelfish. I can tell he hasn't shipped international and is not sure
of PayPal international payments even though his auctions indicate as
such. If it is PayPal.CN then that requires China CC and Bank accounts
for the buyer. If it is PayPal.Com then international payments are
accepted through the financial institutions of either. Of course
someone pays the international currency piper. I know it usually isn't
the buyer because I use PayPal with other countries. He's in the
process of checking out China Post and PayPal.Com. On one of his
replies he thought Pu'er would end up in quarantine because it is an
agricultural product which contains a bug. That gave me a chuckle. I
replied with how he fills out a customs declaration. I'll keep
everyone informed how it pans out one way or the other. When it is
early morning here it is early tonight in Beijing.
