Thanks to all on and off page/site for help with this, I have emailed the chap and I am going to send payement through the post, too much messing with Paypal etc.
Just as a note to all , there are several members who have informed me this chap is OK and good to deal with,so I guess it's just a language/ Paypal problem.
thanks again chaps
