i sold an old alphastation for a decent amount of money tonight, and my buyer is in south korea. may not have been such a wise move to sell worldwide, but i didnt want to exclude a high bidder. the red flag went up with his first statement regarding paypal. here is the meat of his email back to me.
*just thought of this...my dad has a merchant account with visa and a few other cards, we use it to rent out a couple machines we have. would this be an option? could i accept visa directly, and not through paypal? i dont care much about the fees. that may be an option there. i'm just looking to have protection in case he tries to fug with me. thanks much.

no visa for paypal? news to me. is this guy trying to pull a fast one on me? ive heard of people getting screwed over with bad checks and the like, and i'll be damned if i'm the next one. but i need help from you guys how can i protect myself, if he is out to get me? is his line about paypal not accepting visa an attempt to weasel out of the protection it gives me as a seller? it looks like he may own/run a website dealing with selling computers - mooksabal.Thanks for your answer. I can't pay you via Paypal. Beacuse I can not register VISA in Paypal.(Paypal is only register MASTER Card or AMEX) So I can pay you via Bidpay or VISA or Wire transfer. Can you? If you want only Paypal, I can pay you through my agent in US. And I have a DHL account #xxx. In this case, I can pay shipping cost in Korea. If you want USPS, Please notify me shipping cost
