Due to the nature of this purchase (being an expensive product) I would request that you go through the process on Amazon to purchase the tablet. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I am going to have to refuse to engage in a transaction outside of Amazon. Due to the rise of internet scamming and personal experience with this rising fad I would not feel comfortable completing the transaction outside of a website I trust and have had no issues with. Sorry for any inconvenience if you aren't actually an internet scammer.

oh well

supposedly
ive had issues with paypal in the past and i really wouldnt feel comfortable doing it outside of "legal" means (i have it listed on amazon, so i'd rather sell it through that than a paypal invoice)

It's understandable that, since you do have it listed as an Amazon sale, you would be skeptical about this. Other communities I visit, however, have marketplaces that use PayPal as the mode of funds transfer. We're talking about $1k+ value items (guitars gear etc, as an example) here. But that's within a community with traceable people. PayPal is quite secure however, and you can file fraudulent claims if something does go wrong.

I'd honestly rather not deal with it. If she doesn't wanna buy it through Amazon (or she can't according to her) thats her problem. Someone I know is already willing to buy it for full price + no shipping cost.
