It is a huge scam to pay for items via Western Union. I know from personal experience. All they need is the tracking number and they can pick up the money without ever sending the item you purchased. Be very careful!

please don't proceed you can not track your purchases. online purchases is very safe in amazon.com as your credit card is controlled by your bank. or visit dhl qatar in online purchases they will guide you. cheers!!!

Never EVery Opt for any kind of payment over Western Union..Its a scam..I know personally so many Victims for the same..THere are ppl in UK selling Iphone for Qr.1500..as well..its a scam.Once u get in contact with them ,they would not speak much...THey would push u for the payment immediately once the conversation starts..WATHC out..

Opt for Credit card in safe sites like Amazon or Ebay or use Pay Pal...
