If I can't find even the juristriction I'm entering a contract with I usually bail. I wish at least the payment provider would force sellers to reveal the name and address on the checkout page. Neither on the website or the checkout page it's even clear if '$' is US Dollar. On the checkout page it's not clear what currency my credit card is billed with!
