I don't have a problem with that but I want want to know how safe it is to trade thru paypal. She (costumer) sent me this email = I am willing to proceed with the transaction now and pay you €170 which include p&p.kindly login to your paypal account and select the request money button located at the top of your paypal account homepage and send the money request directly to my paypal account id which is XXXXXXXX so that i can submit payment to you via paypal right now as paypal is safe, fast and easy to send and receive money online. If you don't have a paypal account just login to Paypal.com and set up your paypal account, after setting up your paypal account you locate the request money button located at the top of your paypal account home page, use it to request money directly from my paypal account which is XXXXXX once I receive your money request from paypal, I will submit payment to you via paypal asap. Get back asap. Katharina XXXXXXXX. I am curious about it because she gives me 170 euro for something i wanted 130 euro. What i mean is that a postage dosent cost 40 euro and its wierd she want to give me so much.What do you guy think is she trying to scam me some way or what?
