I am trying to buy this power supply and the guy says he is including the motherboard as it is slightly broken. I asked him if he would take PayPal payment and then he went on to say he doesn't have a PayPal and when I asked him for bank transfer he agreed. He said that he would post it right after I would send him the money at 4pm as thats when he supposedly finishes work. I asked him again for PayPal and he said that he's been done over PayPal. Is this a scam or not?

Personally I would move on but, you have to decide. Why put yourself in an uncomfortable situation. (If the guy is the seller, he should be sending you an invoice - there are other services he could use if PayPal is not preferred.)
