So what should I reply back to him and say? I was thinking on the lines of:

All your bases are belong to me.


or something like that.
Comments? 😀
 
He says he can't use the typical online payment system such as paypal, etc... but he's asking if the seller has a merchant account (something that accepts creditcards), he'll buy the item through there.

I'm not too sure how much of a scam this is... with a merchant account, you can verify the information on the creditcard... and if the information matches, i would go for it. Of course if his creditcard happens to be a US creditcard, with a US account, and he wants it ship to Indonesia, that's obviously a scam.

That's what I was thinking. I have access to a verification program too. But I'm like 99 percent sure this is a scam.
