Abstract
In various embodiments, a system and method for providing cross-border transaction buying assistance are provided. In example embodiments, an option is presented to a cross-border buyer to purchase an item from a domestic networked commerce system using a buying agent. Based on a purchase of the item using the buying agent, instructions are sent to a seller of the item to ship the item to a domestic location corresponding to the buying agent. Once received by the buying agent, the buying agent is responsible for managing delivery of the item to the cross-border buyer from the domestic location.
