is there something at the top of the screen that let you install it?

charliecat · 19/09/2006 13:13

Careful what your doing, western union always comes up with fraud storys on the ebay talk boards.
My pc wont do the java scpipt thing either..

I really wouldn't use western union at all. Momey sent through western union is untraceable ro something. I have had buyers trying to pay with western union as a fraud. Won't the seller accept paypal?

can someone ask him a question about one of his listings and see what email address he replies from because a friend has just said to me he could have looked on ebay previously to find a seller who sells laptops in italy (where he is) with good feedback and then given it to me so it all looks above board.

i very seriously wouldnt touch this bloke with a barge pole. If only 3 people bid and pay for his items hes rolling in it.

charliecat · 19/09/2006 17:44

you have did a transaction thru ebay yeah?

Alibaldi · 19/09/2006 17:50

nappyaddict what did his email address look like. Did it end .it or .com? I wouldn't touch Western Union either - if all else fails you would be better sending a travellers cheque for the amount in Euros which you could get from the Post office, this would also be insured too. Plus buying a laptop from Italy - is there not one up for grabs in the UK?
