TheTruth Posted January 25, 2010 Content Count: 2417 Joined: 04/21/09 Status: Offline Share Posted January 25, 2010 He could just be using the "daughter in Africa" as an excuse for you to take the laptop off and just sell it to him. If he gives you a legit shipping address and offers to pay first, then send it. Link to comment

Daze Posted January 25, 2010 Content Count: 6741 Joined: 06/10/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 25, 2010 Alright well I'm not stupid enough to do anything outside of Paypal. At least I have seller protection right? If he pays, and he cancells it a few days later, does he get his money back? I'm worried that's what's gonna happen and by time I realize it's gonna be somewhere in Ghana lol Link to comment
