Mikey - nothing wrong with cash amigo. Tell him to send it in his own currency, you can take it to any currency exchange and convert it to greenbacks. If he sends it with any kind of 'special delivery' the cash will get to you.

Good move not giving up any bank info. So many scams are based on getting your bank info it just isn't worth it to even take the chance. Bank account info is sacred. Hope you guys find a way to work this out. I'd just have him mail me the cash Special D. Done deal.

What Purdy said. He can mail you the cash and you can convert it.

There are online currency calculators you can use to work out cost.

Don't ship until you get cash in hand.

I guess I fall into a different category. The moment he said he wanted my info, I would have cut off communications with him. I have a natural distrust of people. Innocent or not, doesn't matter. I'm very very careful who I do biz with. If it doesn't feel right, I'm gone. Better to walk away from ten deals than to take a soaking on one bad one. Each deal should be a win-win. But, I don't do eight thousand deals a week like you ... so take my comments with a grain of salt.

what about westernunion??

there's no way he lives in a country without westernunion unless he lives on antarctica :p

WestUn shows they trans to Austria. I don't know how much the fees would be.

If you have his address you can look it up.

I set up an extra account, with a couple of bucks, Which I only use for paypal transactions.

I usually leave it empty unless there is something I want to buy , then I'll put Money in it.

I do that, so that if any one was to get my paypal info they can only take very little.

I would give him that account info, if he try's any funny business, he won't get far, and your not out much.

Have that guy contact me and explain to me as if I were a small child... where is there a country that dose not have paypal.... I thought paypall was everywhere...

So there are no Post Offices or Banks? Cant get a money order or certified Bank check? Sounds a little fishy to me . I would run away from this one.

I have to agree with the above gentlemen.We live in a global village,and Dollars are the global currency.I don't care if you are in Albania,Yemen,Serbia or Mordor-you can get money orders already converted to dollars ANYWHERE,and I mean ANYWHERE (major cities).What is odd is some what I'd consider western nations,like Italy,make it damn near impossible to do business.The people who live in nations where commerce is difficult figure out ways to do their trading.:2Cents:
