Answer 1

I've already had a look of the Molotok site that you mentioned.

Unfortunately, there's no English site for the Molotok.Ru site. It's 100% in Russian.

I just checked it at a glimpse, the most important thing that you need to do is register as a Molotok.Ru user/buyer/seller. They have other "friend" sites in Czech, Hungary , Ukraine and Poland now, from what I read in the website.

Payment can be made through Credit Card(s), that is VISA, Eurocard/MasterCard, Diners Club etc. Buyers can also pay using a Webmoney payment system and also Yandex Money (Paycash).

As for shippings to international destinations, I'm also not sure as my Russian isn't that good at the moment.

Have a nice day and good luck.

Answer 2

It's an online auction platform similar to eBay --> http://www.molotok.ru

It's only available in Russian and a few Eastern European languages. There is no English version. Since you are interested in exporting stuff out of Russia, it's probably unique items not available in your home country (such as art, antiques, rare collectibles, etc.). All of those are currently subject to strict export restrictions, so sellers can not ship them out of Russia anyways.

Electronic payment methods accepted on Molotok also work only within Russia.  

Answer 3

try using

world.altavista.com

to traslate websites by choosing the languages and typing the address. But be careful - the translation might be "mechanical".

You also can try setting a GOOGLE panel (skin) for your internet explorer and turn on the DICIONARY function. then, you'll get the translation of the word by leading a cursor on it

Good luck
