I am selling a kite on seasbreeze (7m rebel) and have been asked by a German guy to send it overseas.

He seems legit (so far anyway) and is offering to pay for it upfront on Paypal.
Is this 100% secure if this happens ?

Also what is the best way to go about getting a price to send it to Germany ? - so i can quote him the freight up front ?

No, it's probably a scam.

They will probably use a dodgy credit card to pay for it and paypal will take your money back.

Free - Just wait for the right wind direction and let it go.

Guys paypal is secure and they have buyer and seller guarantees that cover you in the event of fraud. Look it up on the site it's called paypal protection. The vet all credit cards and users thoroughly. Paypal never take the money back. What you should look out for is moneygrasternerstern union scams as they are usually run by the nigerians. Also when they write to you nigerians usuall write in CAPS ALL THE TIME, make fundamental mistakes in their grammer and spelling and make references to god and bless you good sir and may the lord be with you and all that crap. Don't trust religeous people.
