Haben Sie noch diesen T-Hemd? Ich werde Ihrem paypal Konto $6 schicken. Ich wohne in USA

I need a translator. I assume this is about the Octoberfest t-shirt I had up for sale. Or is he calling me a chicken?

Jawohl! Took some in college and will try my hand at this.

"Do you have this T-shirt? I will (or would like to) send you $6 via Paypal." Then *I think* he's saying he lives in the U.S.A. but not sure.

You can tell him "Ja, dies ist gut mit mir." (This is fine with me.)

Someone else may be able to help you further on this; it's a miracle, after 45 years, that I can remember anything at all!

Babelfish charges and I'm not a member. Freetranslator.com says:

"Do you have yet these T-shirts? I will send your paypal account $6. I live into USA"

I guess bottom-feeders come in all flavors. Six bucks? Fugetaboutit!

"Do you still have these T-shirts? I will send your by paypal $6. I live in the USA"

That is a common sense and not a literal translation. This person's German is not very good, so I assume is someone in the US trying to be cute.

I hope that helps.
