International Trade, Jr.

Elizabeth was showing me some things she's bought recently over the Internet. What's amazing, is that she got them from her online friends from around the world. Four dollars for a metal box with miniature scissors and a bunch of cutouts, all decorated with some kind of little Japanese cartoon characters. She got that from a friend in Hong Kong. She had another little plastic pillbox with stickers from a friend in Singapore. Then there were sticker sheets from much closer, but still more than just a walk down the street, from a friend in Michigan. She has a few things she sells, too, with her Paypal and Ebay accounts.

So Elizabeth is twelve and involved in low volume international trade.
