of my costumer need the product while we did'nt have the stock of that
product.So maybe you could help me to supply to my store.But before a
place my order to purchase I would ask you regarding the product.
1.Do you ship for international to Indonesia (overseas)
2.Do you accept payment by credit card
3.Could you despact my order by fedex to my
country Indonesia.

AND THIS IS MY REQUEST :

I had the same type of email when i sold my laptop on ebay. And guess what, it was from Indonesia too! And the idiot decided to send me nearly the same email, but from a different email address!

Just tell him ok and have him buy them via Paypal (credit card). Then wait 2 weeks or so to ship to him.

Just say that it's an extreme pain in the ass, that there are distributors local to you, and because there are plenty of potential customers in the US, you do not ship to Indonesia.

Or simply state that you require payment in full, via wire tranfer, before you will ship.
