Hi I received the below from a prospective buyer after i listed in australia 2 used laptops. He wanted them sent to the USA. We didnt use my pay pal for this transaction - i provided him my bank detials though and he used his. I dont want to send to him until i know this is genuine. He also didnt wait for me to provide him with a quote for postage from australia to the USE, rather he just siad he went ahead and deposited an additional $300 for postage express using aus post.
