A week later the guy, (Hi Robin!), is on my case saying that PayPal have snatched the money back. They didn't even bother to tell me and wouldn't reverse the cancellation. It cost me a lot to get the money to the seller. To add insult to injury, they refunded the money to me by which time the $ had slumped to new depths.
Careful you don't end up with a very red face and a reputation for being an international conman.

Good advice S&M, just kidding I mean stretcher Stretcher Monkey!
So far the Paypal thing has worked out but that would be terrible if the money was taken away from my new friend because he has helped me so much here.
I am hoping to avoid any more stupid mistakes that involve losing things.
I was considering Western Union for a while but I think their fees are 5-7%!!!
