Thanks,

this for my father as a surprise birthday gift,he has being there for
me and doesn,t deserve something less but the issue is I'm a marine
contractor and i just got a contract which i am doing presently and
The contract is strictly no call, due to the lack of reception on the
sea area,,But I'm able to access email anytime as we will make use of
laptop so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send
money via PayPal anytime.Moreso i choose paypal for this transaction
cause i want to avoid the scams going down on the internet this
days,and want the both party to be on a safe side cause paypal
security measure is unbeatable.Since I'm requesting this transaction
to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the pay pal
fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with
paypal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to
www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I
have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will
be handling the title for me.So i look forward to hear from you soon."

Then collections etc etc. I've dealt with this before and all the buyer has to do is show proof of a return slip or refusing the item. They can send back an empty box for crying out loud. Stay away from paypal in general unless you're using it to buy something small, never accept payment for something you're selling though. Just speaking from experience.

I would think paypal should insure the funds when they are deposited. Again really no good way to do anything without disadvantaging the seller or the buyer
