Em _________________ Annie Snels 10:15 AM (12 hours ago) to me Thanks for the understanding ,Please I have just made the payments now and i expected paypal to have emailed you by now,please check your spam/junk folder as I sometimes get paypal notification there,I sent $1,200 aud in all, paypal said they would be holding the funds and it won\'t be credited into your account because of the excess payments of $550 aud i added meant for pick up and delivery,they said they have emailed you to this effect, you will need to send the $500 aud to the freighting company headquarters via western union money transfer,so that paypal can credit the $1,200 aud into your account as soon as you have emailed the western union details to them, i added extra $50 aud to cover the western union charges which shouldn\'t be more than $20-30 aud but just to be sure i added $50 aud, Here is the pick up agent info needed to get the money sent through western union money transfer: Yuyan Liang, 118 Qiannian Lu, Chaoyang Be Beijing , Zip Code 100028, China . I believe that since payment has been made, the advert should be taken off the site and please do let me know the location\'s address including your free date and time so that i can give it to my mover to use it to register the date and time they will be coming for the pick up in your location. I will be waiting to read from you as soon as you get it done Cheers! ________________ MY RESPONSE 11:29 AM (10 hours ago) to Annie I\'ll have to wait until I have your money in my bank account.
