So simple/airy- love it! I need to know more about that bookcase in the living room, is it a barrister bookcase? Where is it from?

My friend sold an expensive watch on Ebay- the seller promptly paid and the funds were received no problem through paypal, however, the item was said to be a "gift" and needed to be sent IMMEDIATELY to a different address in Indonesia. UPS/Fedex charge a fortune to ship internationally, so of course my friend used the USPS which doesn't offer tracking overseas (they only offer proof that the package was sent). The buyer, banking on all this, had actually hacked an innocent 3rd party's Paypal account to complete the transaction. The watch was sent to the shady address in Indonesia, the innocent 3rd party guy was refunded the money stolen from his account to pay for the watch, and my friend had to reverse the Paypal credit or have his account sent to a collections agecy and was out thousands of dollars. Talk about disgusting! Furthermore, when turning to Ebay & PayPal for help, he found out after the fact that apparently you are required to use UPS/FedEx when shipping an item overseas that has sold for more than $250- I guess to track who has received the package. I have yet to see this info advertised anywhere on Ebay but double check if you sell anything expensive, or better yet, only sell it domestically!
