ebay advice please

Never thought I'd post an ebay thread here but I'm a bit unsure about something.

I've just had someone buy some headphones from me via BIN and the postage is RMSD. The buyer is based in Lithuania and has 55 100% feedback dating back to January 2013.

The address in the paypal confirmation email is a UK address and under someone else's name but is listed as confirmed.

How should I proceed?!!

Hell no! Just to be safe uK only, that paypal account has been hacked most likely, and only ever send to the address on the paypal transaction even if buyer begs you

post to the address, it might be a gift, make sure its recorded and insured
as its the paypal payment address and confirmed

you cannot be sure either way but will have to hope for the best, or risk and neg and cancel

are the headphones expensive?

also have you googled the address might be useful?

Thanks for the replies. Headphones are £130. I'm going to email him and refund him.

Post to paypal address. 100% protection if it's a confirmed address and u have tracking

Does he want you to send it to Lithuania though?

Even though it's a different name and address, country even?

yes, the only thing you are at risk with is a chargeback i think

Thanks. I've just posted it there too

Here's a snapshot of what appears on the top of the transaction page in paypal:

That's ok then

Thanks Diagro. Someone responded on MSE saying that as I'm sending via RMSD and to a confirmed PP address, there's no problem.
