purchaser cannot make payment via Paypal

[sotos24012009]

I have accepted an offer from a Purchaser in the USA who wishes to buy my item (I am located in Australia). They wish to send the item to their niece in QLD. They say they are getting an error when they try to make a payment and they want me to email them my paypal email (this has raised red flags).

I wouldn't think there would be an issue paying by paypal - correct?

Is the item the jacket? Is it the only item you sold recently?

Did other payments go through? It could indeed have to do with Managed Payments if you are not a regular seller and have not registered.
