Could someone translate a german sentence for me

Nephew

i'm doing some business with a german guy on ebay. i can piece together most of the email from from leaving cert german and with the help of bablefish but this sentence in particular doesnt make much sense in bablefish

Ich werde die Bezahlung in Höhe von EUR XXX per Andere in Kürze vornehmen.

reminds me a episode of Men Behaving Badly where tony gets stung with german translation.

German's a bit sketchy.
Ich werde die Bezahlung in Höhe von EUR XXX per Andere in Kürze vornehmen.

Ich werde - I will
die Bezahlung - the payment
andere - other
Kurze - short ??
vornehmen - nehmen is the verb 'to take' - vor is 'before' ??

Yeah - I need to brush up on my Deutschkenntnisse anyway.

From freetranslation.com:

I will undertake the payment in height of EUR XXX per other briefly.

Makes more sense :rolleyes:

Nephew

i think he must have replied to the wrong email because all other correspondences i've had with him were in english and the rest of the email doesnt make much sense when you take into account what i asked him.

"I will shortly effect payment to the value of EUR XXX by 'other means'"

This is part of Ebay's automated payment process. The buyer is doing this on Ebay.de, which is why it generates German-language correspondence. "Other means" in this case means that he didn't choose Paypal or any other specific payment mechanism.

did it really say "per Andere"?sounds a bit weird. "andere Zahlungsweise" or what was meant?
