I just got the following message from a German buyer. I can understand a lot of it, but some of it I just can't make out what she is saying.

"Hello, I'm it! The Manu! Loves nice thanks I in your auction to be allowed. Now, however, I must hurry to complete the purchase from lock to us, there is a severe storm with strong thunderstorms and therefore I could only turn on the computer now! Before us then the next thunderstorm surprised. Na dann bis bald says once Manu"

Hi Amber,

I think she is asking permission to bid or buy from you.
They obviously are being hit by a series of thunderstorms that seem to be knocking out their power.
She wants to buy or bid before the next storm arrives when she/he won't be able to use the computer again!

How does that sound!

Amber, my DH speaks German and the last bit literally translates to 'Now then till soon'

So..I think it really means..'See ya later!'

Thanks otteropp, she had already bid, the message was on her Paypal payment, but I wasn't sure if there were any specific instructions etc. It was the last bit all in German that I wasn't sure about.
