EBay really should do more to enable the international market. For example, there is a huge potential in the UK that is currently untapped. Sure, you can get a filter to display "available in the UK", but that just eliminates all the good deals because no private sellers want the hassle. To participate fully a buyer currently needs - a US $ checking account - a US mailing address. EBay should provide - escrow accounts that international buyers can top up with a credit card (this would speed up domestic transactions as well - I am sure there are a load of buyers out there who would rather do the transaction online) - international shipping that can be arranged by the buyer, to circumvent the "no international shipments" label that is attached to most auctions at present.
