Today I was paid through PayPal for an old calendar sold to someone in Italy. Below is the message I received from the go-between. I didn't realize there were trading assistants in Italy who helped people pay for their Ebay wins. Learn something new every day!
Here's the message:
Item Title: eBay auction #2283775910
Message
Note: Hi ! Our customer "XXX" has just sent us the money to pay you . Now , as previously agreed , we are able to pay you the amount of $ 31.70 . Thanks for your "open mind" and to have accepted our customer to pay you through our PayPal account to let him receive the item even without holding a credit card ( not so common in Italy ) . For your added convenience and security , I've arranged this payment to be funded by PayPal means
Please note that we act as professional and concerned Trading Assistant on behalf of our Italian customers , so the item won should be sent to the address of "XXXX" , NOT ours .
This is the shipping address :
Mr.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (my deletion)
Biblioteca Panizzi
Via Farini 3
42100 Reggio Emilia (RE)
ITALY
In the meantime please accept our best regards .
Have a great day !
