So I asked if he would do an email transfer instead of Paypal.
This was his response:
Well sorry i am very much interested in buying it but the problem is i can only make the payment ONLY via PayPal. I can't make a Bank transfer from another country because of the security attached to my internet banking neither can I send a Bank draft or cashiers cheque until am back to CA. In other words, I can only make a bank transfer from the IP I used in registering for my internet banking. The only available and secure method for me to make the payment is PayPal , but if you can not do that then am sorry i will have to try else where because i need to be safe and if you don't have one, i will advice you to go on www.paypal.com and register with them and link to your Account and get back to me with your PayPal email and i will also make sure i pay the PayPal charges
And as soon as you reply me with your PayPal Account email i will make the Payment immediately
Regards
Rick
me too exactly the same message . and after is Hi Mate
I Just want to let you know this quick. i was just about to make the payment now when the pick up agent inform me i will have to pay for the freight fee before they can schedule a pick up time with you and they are charging $600 for the pick up and delivery to Ontario and they said the payment must be sent only to their Co-Operate International Headquarter in United State and the payment must be made to them through Western Union or Money Gram money transfer.
And due to the fact that i can only make a Payment only via PayPal i will add the $600 and the 2.4% that PayPal is charging you to the money am sending to you through PayPal and immediately i make the payment to you, I will contact you and please i will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent's Hq in United State through western union money transfer after i have sent you the full payment. I would have done it myself but I can't send money through that means due to my present location. I'm a little incapacitated but I'll appreciate your help here as soon as i make the Payment to you .
