Thanks for the reply, Actually i am buying it for my cousin as a surprise graduation gift and i will be responsible for the shipping charges via AUSPOST EMS to her address so that would not be a problem atall which means i will pay $100 AUD for the delivery charges. Let me know your final asking price of it and we can go from there and more importantly,I will like to pay you with paypal because its very easy, fast and secure to transfer money.. and if you don't have an account with PayPal you can easily set up an one by visiting www.paypal.com.au make any error on the Payment and to make everything okay with the both parties.
I just completed the transaction into your account and i expect PayPal to have emailed by now,check inbox, or the Junk folder of your email address if you have been messaged yet, Am glad to get back to you regarding the payment for your item and i believed you have got the confirmation of my Payment in your mail Box, as soon as you receive the payment confirmation from PayPal i want you to get the item shipped via austpost International post express which the tracking number starts with letter (E) and end with (AU) to the address below and send the tracking number to me. So you should be able to ship out the item today and email the Tracking Number to PayPal Department. This is the shipping address below :

Name: Paul Williams
Address:No. 21 LouGuHe Supermarket
Province:Liaoning
City: Jinzhou
Country: China
Zip code:121000
Phone number: 1867062898

I am getting worried here as my account has been debited and i have not heard anything from you after sending the payment.you can email PayPal to confirm this as i emailed them and i was made to know that the money was placed on hold and your account will only be credited after sending the item out via post office and send the details to them for verification.i was also made to belief that it's done that way to protect both buyers and sellers.I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.thanks always for your understanding.

Anyway, that was today and it's getting a bit boring so I suppose I'll just put the scammer in Junk. I've already alerted Gumtree and PayPal.

"I have actually tried to get this kind of here earlier from here but most of the ones I got either have one huge fault or the other and some have even had accidents in the past while some are extremely exorbitant. As to the price, Price is Ok. I will be glad to make the payment asap via PayPal or bank transfer online as am currently at reception and i promise not to let you down. i will pay $95 AUD for the Australia Express delivery charges and you will do posting once transfer as been completed. Kindly get back to me with your payment details so i can proceed with the payment right away and if you want the payment to be made via bank transfer send me your account name,bank account, bsb for the payment. Kindly inform other buyers it as been sold as am ready to purchase right away. I shall be waiting to read from you asap."

I was contacted regarding two cameras I am selling on GumTree. The script is more or less a copy and paste of some others I've seen on this site, including the delivery and payment details.
