But I\'m able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop and also i can text you any time so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I\'m requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the PayPal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don\'t have an account with PayPal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to http://www.paypal.com/. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible?

I just received the exact same email for a listing I have on Craigslist..... I responded positively to his email with no information from me.
I just found this notice...and will stop any further communication directly with this scammer.
Here's his email:
