Can non-US customers make purchases at half.com? I've found a somewhat rare book there that I really need, but when they ask for the shipping address, only US addresses can be submitted? I have an ebay account, so my shipping address should be there, but it isn't. In the meantime, I tried to contact the seller through ebay, but ebay doesn't send the message, for some reason (possibly a technical glitch?).
Does anyone know? Is there a way to work around this?

I have purchased a few rare videos from half.com and I am living in Ireland. Have you checked to see if the seller will ship worldwide as not all sellers will ship outside the US so this could be a problem. If you are unsuccessful in getting your book, here is a link that I often use to buy rare books: www.biblio.com or you could try posting a wanted add on www.iofer.com Best of luck.

Perhaps, but I am unable to contact the seller, so I cant' find out. I tried to find if they had a website, but no luck. Is there a way to contact the seller on half.com instead of ebay?
Thank you very much for the links, Iofer is showing me an error page though?
I've located the book I need on biblio.com, but it's MUCH more expensive than the one on half.com (it has a minor tear on the spine, so it's discounted, I've seen this book cost as much as $500! It's quite expensive for a book).

Yes, I found ioffer to be a very slow site. I will check it to-morrow and see what happens...too tired now. If you care to pm the name of the book to me, I will see if my daughter can help. She has a huge collection of old books (a whole room full) so you never know, she might just be able to help. No harm trying.

I forgot to add, if you like, you can pm the eBay link for the book to me and I will try to contact the seller from my eBay account.
