Patent Busted: Prior Art.

Amazon.com was selling online internationally since at least Q3 1996.

Here is a quote from their 10-Q filling for that quarter (bolding added).
Net sales are composed of the selling price of books and other merchandise sold

by the Company, net of returns, as well as outbound shipping and handling
charges. Growth in net sales reflects a significant increase in units sold due
to the significant growth of the Company's customer base and repeat purchases
from the Company's existing customers. International sales represented 26% and
35% of net sales for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and 27% and 36% of net sales for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
