I reluctantly put a technics turntable up on ebay and it sold via buy it now to a buyer with no feedback. They signed up in 2004 and have nothing in their profile by way of judging character.

The turntable sold for £269+pnp and I am touching cloth at the idea of shipping the product out to a scammer.

Is there anything I need to avoid? Anything I should do to protect myself?

I was quickly sent a request for invoice by the buyer and a note saying can I call her husband on X mobile number to arrange postage to Y. I did a quick search on BT and there is no results when searching her street using her surname. I've requested a landline number initially but I'm not sure where to go from here in case it is a dormant account that has been hi-jacked.
 
Thanks for the info guys, I didn't realise anyone had replied. I received payment via paypal and I am going to send the parcel tomorrow to the address provided by paypal.

Am I OK to send the parcel immediately after payment via paypal or should I wait? Can the payment be reversed?
 
Their paypal is confirmed (in green) and they have just received feedback from another seller who sold the same item which makes sense as you would use a pair of what I sold.

Posted today with royal mail signed for delivery with insurance which was only an additional £1.20

Fingers crossed all is OK! In the future I will use collection/cash only as the stress of potentially being done over is not nice.

Thanks for the help
 
Good end to the story, parcel accepted, confirmed as working and positive feedback left on my account.

Don't think I'll be doing it again though!
 
Can they do that after positive feedback has been left? They have confirmed the product works as it should and I am not a business so it is not a returnable item afaik?
