They seemed all too keen to purchase my item and then advised the following; I am happy to proceed with the payment, howveer i just got confirmation mail from the shipping company now that i will need to pay for the freightening fees before they can schedulae pre-shipping/pick up date, they charge $900 AUD for the pick up and delivery, but the problem is they only accept western union money transfer as form of payment which is sent to their HQ in China. As you are well aware of, due to the nature of my work i am away and do not have access to western union, post offices have western union section, will it be ok with you if i ass $900AUD to the amount i am transferring? and as soon as the money goes through you can help me make the western union transfer of the freightening fees through union money transfer? What this means is that i would be tarnsfering real money to them when they never sent money to me in the first place. They advised that that paypal would not accept the fundsd transfer as the amount was over the sale price. | |||
