Ok, so I won this auction in Ebay like yesterday! He is like a paypal vertify user, but for some reason his account is rejecting for the payment! (error message from paypal: This recipient is currently unable to receive money.) So I sent him an E-mail asking what is the problem with his account! So he replyed as follow:

The current methods of payment are through andale, which if your auction ended after April 18th, will automatically come through.?You can also pay by check, money order, or well concealed cash.?Please make checks payable to my business:?Detroit What!?Performance Products.?And you can send them to the address below.?If you want to pay by credit card, and your auction ended prior to April 18th, you can just send me an email with your phone number and I will call you once I am near my credit card machine and we can do the credit card process that way.?If not, just send payment to me at:
Richard Ramsey
Detroit What! Performance Products
45657 Drake Court
Shelby Township MI 48317


So he pretty much want the money order, and what's up with the phone number and credit card machine! This guy is only 9 feedback all good....I smell some fishy here! So what do you guys think, should I just send him the money!(well... only $10)

Thx for your help!

Like, it's called like, a Basic Like Proper Like Grammatical Like Usage in the like English like Language.

The way you speak, even on Teh Intarweb says volumes about you as a person and your educational level.

Jo0 are teh Kingdergartener age like dude!

I really didn't agree with MichaelD's comments in the first place, but what you said wasn't much better.

No advice here... goodluck though.

LMAO! That's exactly what I was like thinking. Like, like, like. . . .

Seriously though, I can't help here. But how did you conclude that he wanted money order? I see different options on his list! Is money order the most convenient for you there? If you can't trust him, then don't buy. It's as simple as that. Go ahead and pay more for the same product from an established entity or individual.

P.S.: You can do a business search (not yellow pages) to see if his business is registered.

OK, fair enough.

Here's solid business advice; if it looks bad, sounds bad and smells bad...it's most probably not a good idea to go thru with the deal.
