This seems to be a good translation program. It works for me. I write a note in English and this program translates it to French, or any language selected from a very long list. I send my "French" note to seller. He reads it and writes a response in French of course but he doesn't mail it. He first has his response translated into English and then sends the translated response to me. From what I've experienced in one process it is not a cumbersome procedure and adquate communication resulted - although choice of words was occasionally hilarious.
This alta vista program can simply be given an URL for translation and the entire page will be translated, or one can cut and paste text that will be translated.
Buying on another Ebay national company appears to be easy. On Ebay, You can log into Ebay.fr for instance and search for your item. (You may need the translation service described below to come up with the correct search words). You can always press your my ebay icon and your ebay france interface becomes ebay and what you get for that item is English translations. If you buy an item you will be charged the purchase price in currency of record, such as euros. When you go to pay with Paypal it will pay seller in his currency and charge you in dollars. I pressume this also will be true with any major credit card accepted.
I have 2 question. These overseas purchases go through our customs. Is there any action required of purchaser in the custom clearance process? Is the package delivered to a purchaser just as a domestic item would be (purchaser just waits)?
Also, how can purchaser get insurance for his purchase when overseas seller does not make it available? Is there some company that sells coverage here for a shipment origination there coming to me?
