Is this for real or am I getting scammed (india)?

The reason given is for real, but that really isn't your issue, it is called the cost of doing business. If you don't feel good about it don't do it.

Thanks

It is for real from my understanding, but sending the money directly by paypal will not protect his interests, and secondly, if you are not using the escrow services, you are at serious risk.

The situation described makes red flags go up in my mind. Personally I would not agree to those terms, but you have to decide for yourself.

Ye, that's what i'm worried about and the reason why I always use sedo when buying domains.

I will let him find another method that is safe for both of us

There will be some change in Indian paypal but that cant be a reason for that. He will have to accept other way of payments too if he wants to do good business.

Good to know that... Paypal has been such a pain in the a** for the past few months for Indian providers. It's easier to fly to USA and collect cash than use paypal

Always be alert when people start asking to do payments in a different way. Not that this guy is scamming you but,, just be aware. Also,, someone mentioned an escrow way. Do that.

I will have to agree with Andy here. You don't have to be pressurized in doing anything even though the reason is true.

I am glad that it all worked out for you. Any situations like that can always turn out horribly wrong so my advice is if you are going to take a risk, be ready to lose the investment on that deal.

Most business if you go through a certain service that has rules, some vendors try to go around the rules by having you to pay them directly. Chances are they might not deliver the services to you and they'll end up keeping the money. My suggestion is if you don't feel right about it just don't do it. Business is based on trust.
