Can you edit your post and remove the name and addy details. The reason is that scammers use innocent parties contact info and accounts and you may well be posting an innocent persons name on this public board.
The fact they don't want to have your item only scam you of the western union payment means they can use any address as it does not matter.
This scam has been ongoing for years and is all over the net and this forum.
Just remember >>>
Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
