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

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?
