Im at work at the min and its got ebay blocked
LOL, thats a wise employer.
As for the translation. A lot of the sellers will have a much better grasp of English than we have of German.
When you see one you like, copy the auction number and view it from ebay UK, then highlight and copy the text into the babelfish translator, and iff you have any questions for the seller remember to keep them short and simple. Avoid contractions etc.
I usually send the question in english
and a babelfish transaltion of it in the foreign language with 'excuse my German' added.
Often they will just reply in English but I like to try and 'ab-lay da lingo'. You can normally muddle through. Remember when you're searching to either do it from ebay.de or select 'worldwide' on ebay.uk. You could always try ebay spain too? ebay.es.
One last thing, you'll get more results searching on the sites individually if they use the 'international site visibility' charge like ebay.uk does. You'll also see sellers who dont normally ship outside of their country which can be helpful if you are looking for something very unusual.
