Default Re: Paypal scams.

I don't know if OP's guy is a scam or not but people should not immediately discount every possible transaction as a scam. I have sold a ton of high dollar stuff overseas to people who I thought at first were "funny" and they later turned out to be great repeat customers.

1. In regards to the poor grammar I have read some very poor grammar from medical Doctors and people with MBA's.. I work with very educated clients every day and the grammar in emails I receive from them is often atrocious. My grammar is not the best either.

2. In regards to the purchasing agent a friend sold a antique 1956 Harley to a guy in Japan several years back and everything was done through a purchasing agent who took care of every aspect of the transaction from money wire transfer to shipping and packing-sent out 2 guys who spent nearly a whole day crating it up.

Some people do not have the time or effort to proceed with a transaction and will pay a PA to take care of everything.
