    So Grace Han sold your friend 3 computers for $400 bucks including shipping from China? Too good to be true.

    LOL! I just googled "foshan nanhai zhuangying electrical trading firm" and the first 6 results came up saying "SCAM." Next time tell your friend to do some research first and then buy. A good rule of thumb is something that sounds to good to be real probably is. Ah well lesson learned, at least you only had to give up $400.

    either go to the site in his post and create your own, or just edit the part that says TXT= and have it say what you want.

    Paypal, they hold the funds for new sellers or suspicious sells for some-odd days and if there is a problem they can refund the money

    You can check yourself on USPS. If its registered airmail its there. I checked the tracking number on USPS and it said delivered on Oct 20th. I've bought some stuff from China to know that sellers don't use registered airmail to ship large items, usually its EMS, DHL, or UPS for big items as its cost-effective. I'm guessing the tracking number is a real package but one thats full of crap.

    Anyways did your friend use paypal or escrow?

    But lmao at 3 computers at $400 shipped. What were they? 3 new Apple Macbooks?
