I have a no-communication/non-payer on the hook right now for a box of books. I ask that people let me know within three days how they will pay (she hasn't done that) and request that payment be completed by 7 days (so I'll wait till then before I do anything more). This is domestic shipping, U.S. dollars--it's hard enough to get the local folks to cooperate sometimes, I imagine the international difficulties with this situation are exponentially more difficult.

I hear on the radio this morning that the "Buy It Now" feature eBay uses is patented by another company. At least the Supreme Court will have to decide if it is.
