i have been browsing through ebay ( germany ) i have seen several things that would interest me. Living here in the usa is it possible to buy items from other country's? They have more items for the e60 listed such as exhaust, springs , and other oem items. Just trying to see if i could save a buck or get a rare item here in the usa. 1 dollar = EURO?

?.80 cents equals 1 US dollor. That has been about the average lately. It can go somedays as low as .78 and as high as .82.

as of today, $1 = 0.820412 euro. i wanted to check out ebay germany as well but i can't read german :'(.

Use alta vista babel fish translator. It works pretty good.

alohalc

oh, i forgot about that . thank you. yeh, yeh, yeh, getting old. don't you remember i had my birthday yesterday ? oh, but there is still another problem. what if i need to ask the seller some questions and they don't understand? i probably need to forward the alta vista link with my email, huh .

kigerka

That may work. Or you could let the website translate what you want to say. It is not the best but I think the person would get the messege.
If I ever have to write in German I always apologize up front that I am not very good with the language but trying my best. I usually get replies back in English.

I suggest you only bid on items where the seller will accept "PayPal" credit card purchase. Also, many German sellers will not ship out of Europe and if they do then the freight cost will be pretty high.

thanks for the advice .
