Thanks Jazz but a search for "paypal" on that site brought up nothing.

"did you ask him why you wanted his address and phone number?"

No, and I did it all wrong!
"Everyone I talk to says I must get your full home address
and land-line home and work telephone numbers before I
send money. This makes sense to me."

He wrote back that he will not sell the items to me because I called him a crook.
I then apologized and admitted I lacked tack and should have asked in a more polite manner.
We went back and forth a few more times. He kept being upset and I kept groveling because I really wanted the sale to go through :-)

I have never bought anything from a private individual on-line before and am afraid I might get ripped off. (how 'bout that?) Is Paypal of any help in these matters? I don't even have a credit card. I just don't know about these things.
