Hi Larry,
One huge red flag for me in your email was reading that the buyer is
wanting
to have his own shipping agent arrange everything as well as offering to pay
the PayPal fees. Usually those are red flags that this is a scam. I would be
concerned about him asking for the email address especially since it is
already been given within the emails that have been exchanged with the two of
them. Tell him good luck and keep us posted on what happens.
IMHO this is a scam.
