does anyone have an account with ebay as i want to buy some boats that are there but whenever I try to register the language changes( i select Taiwan as my living country but I am American)so I can't read what the thing say so i am just wondering if someone who does have an ebay account would like to help buy the things ( and I pay you back) me please contact me. oh and only contact me if you have paypal as that is the only way I would be able to refund you

Don't register for Taiwan, just register normally.
You should be able to bid on auctions around the world.

try contacting EBay customer services by email. Go to 'my EBay 'and look for a contact button. If you are going to pay via Paypal they require a shipping address seperately from Ebay, but watch out to see your shipping is 'comfirmed' as some USA sellers refuse to supply to unconfirmed addresses

However since your are a young entrepeneur in Taiwan

I would think that you have friends and resources that could help you order one or two boats from an Asian Manufacturer, or at least fill in your e-bay address for you.

Perhaps it would be easier to just ask your boss at the hobby shop to order one for you.

I am sure you can get the boat you want via the Hobby shop where you work. :D

I think you are making it more difficult than this needs to be.

You don't need to borrow the credit cards, just show them what you want online, or e-bay, have them read and fill out the address section for you so you can use your pay pal. You just need Someone to read Chinese to finish your e-bay address, correct?

OR, have Altavista Babel fish translate the page, so you can fill the original address form your self. http://babel.altavista.com/tr
Just copy something like this http://www.tw.ebay.com/ into translate a webpage section and select chinese traditional to english

Or give them the money, or give your parents the money and have them make the purchase for you.
I am sure you can educate those around you about the products you want, and that you can find someone you trust with your cash to place an order for you.

At the very least, there is someone in Taiwan you know that can read Chinese and help you fill out your e-bay address. :)
