Thanks, Sasha. I'll take you up on that if things get lost in
translation or hit a road block. Heretofore when I fire off Messages
on China Ebay I don't hear anything back. However Ebay thinks they're
a favorite seller so I get Messages on any of their new auctions. It
took me awhile to figure out how to stop that on Ebay. He said he
would check out China Post and payments through PayPal. There must be
someone at the other end who understands my English but the replies are
in brief Chinese and nothing Babelfish can't handle so far. I think
the Chinese might be a test to see how serious I am. How hard can it
be? Most of the seller's stuff is Buy-It-Now, I pay, he ships. That's
the international game Ebay wants to play. He sounds interested which
is the first bite so far. I would hope Ebay is educating it's Chinese
sellers on international sales. The European sellers are up to speed
even the ones from Russia where I get my occasional Lomonosov. The
real problem so far is the jet lag with the 24 hour turn around.
